My plans have changed for this GB .
I sid mention a plan for a 8 gunned half track for this..the vehicle is still in the mind but not the planned vehicle.
That was a WW2 12tonner ..I then realized it's completely built 
And has been for yrs  ...so something else has taken its place ..that's hush hush for now 
The reason as I'm waiting for a new kit to arrive so I can see if this will work .

So, no more the 8-gun Truck of the Line! Are we, perchance, moving towards a 12-, or even 16-gun Truck of the Line?

However I'm busy for most of next week, and then, since the Shelf Queen GB was partly my idea and I pushed for it hard, I really feel that I should do something for it, and it ends at the end of November (not December, as my faulty memory had it). So after next week, I'll finish something off first. Probably start the Polar Wars GB in early December.

Whaaat?? I too was convinced it ended un december.

Hahaha 😀...nope ..still 8 guns ..still 8 20mm cannons..it's just going to be on a different chassis which is part of a different vehicle 🤔
Thinking about it ..it should actually be a better model and the even better part ..all 3 kits are brand new

Nope: confirmed by the mods on the forum discussion thread.

The Battles of the Bering Strait.  1800s conflict over the various isles between Alaska and Russia after the Seward sale.  I have a few sail warships added to an order I made that I can upgrade into sail/steam ice-hardened vessels.  US versus Russia, maybe include Japan and Canada!

Late inspiration: what you get if you water and feed a Kettenkrad carefully for twenty years of so:

It reminded me of the "things" used to farm oyster beds in Bretagne. Weird variety, haven't seen 2 of the same design.

Is the bottom one based on the DUKW?

No, they are more or less  hand-made locally, in Le-Vivier-sur-mer.

The thing about 'Not Taunting Murphy' and all that...

"Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball"

Its been a week and a day (-ish).  I'm surprised Dizzy hasn't come up with some arctic mecha he's done in a week.

Video here about 3D printing a model of the Snowcruiser. The digital model is available to buy.

I've always loved those machines 😀
I'd have to sell half of my models and my car to afford a 3D printer so I won't get one..need my car 🙃 😊
