Glenn's Current Modeling Projects

[Glenn]

Built to replace the M4 and M26, the M46 Patton was reported as the Mr. Ugly of the US Army Tank Corp and something had to be done about it! In 1947, one production model went for a 'refit', and this is the result!
The M46/09 was sent for evaluation testing in Maryland. With the new turret, extra weight and side skirting put a new profile to 'the beast', but did not improve the performance, so no more were converted.

The artist making the drawings of Asterix was Uderzo and before that huge Asterix success, he was he artist making the aircraft drawings of "Tanguy and Laverdure", do you know that serials? not funny but I loved that too when I was a kid. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Uderzo and http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanguy_et_Laverdure .

Nice job Glenn !

Second that - nice work and photo. The photo background (painted?) is also subtle, but works perfectly. Just the edited picture foreground looks a bit rough/artificial? But I like the overall arrangement VERY much.

Hi Matthew, how was Christmas?

[Captain Canada]

It's funny, but seeing that shot in colour......it reminds me of a Centurion tank?

It does have a similar kind of shape. Kind of. And they have been known to where a similar camo !

This is a Matchbox 1914 Prince Henry Vauxhall scaled somewhere around 1/45 but is the vehicle I'm going to use to make the 1924 Mercedes Benz cabrolet from the first TinTin book. Long way to go by first, cutting down the rear of the car and changing it's shape, removing the windscreen and spare tire and changing the grill. Much easier that a 1939 La Salle hearse!
