incredible dogs indeed8

this is a whole new kind of hybrid animal/aircraft, very inspiring, but potentially hard to make real ...

But I bet you are thinking about it ? 

I have no clue how to address the fur ...
but if we considered like resin figurines of dog, then ... ...   

You can probably get cheap fake fur fabric online ? Here's some http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=faux+fur+fabric+by+the+metre&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=29169879853&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=406800578692520979&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_7ox6bj8y6k_b

What about railroad grasses and weeds? A large range of browns, tans and yellows.

ah, that kind of material should be workable  indeed ...

and can be easily painted red, yellow and blue with sprays

This, my whiffy brethren is a Garford-Putilov armoured truck being used by the German Freikorps.
Built in Russia in the 19teens on an American Garford chain driven truck chassis.
I am particularly taken by the chap second from the left with the huge coat and stick grenade belt buckle.

Something similar could be whiffed up in 1/24 from a Monogram Mack Bulldog, some styrene sheet and a few guns.

He seems to be about 5' tall, if that, or the guy to his right (our left) is exceptionally tall.

Love the way his helmet sits down over his eyes.

Caption:

From Left to Right: Stretch, Lofty and the Oberleutnant, with the rest of the gang up in the truck.

I think Lofty is over compensating.....

[Old Wombat]

May I point out that Stretch, whilst not front-on to the camera, is carrying TWO stick grenades in the same region where Lofty is carrying one.

[Old Wombat]

Hmm!? This one;



seems to be wearing exactly the same camouflage pattern as I used for these;




Pre-weathering shots;




I had to modify mine to fit over the more complex shape of the LAV-150's but the segment in front of the mg cupola of the armoured car is exactly the same as a similar segment of the camo I used (unfortunately I don't have the original template on this computer).

Only a few guns...?   

[zenrat]

3 maxims and a 76mm field gun.  Hard to find in 1/24 though.

There's a TV show in this.
Sean Micallef, Akmal Saleh and Eric Bana in the lead roles.
Or, for the international market Jason Segal, David Spade and Johnny Depp.

Is Artie Johnson still kick'n? Veeeeeedy innnnteresting, but schtupid!

The Garford-Putilov Armoured car is available in 1/55th (28mm wargames scale) from Copplestone Castings:



Also, many more funky-rivetty-interwar things (this is just a taster):

Some interesting stuff on the page of James Murphy, here. Web site says he's near London, do any of our British chaps know of him?

[Old Wombat]

Um, I think there's something wrong with the link. It's not working & it doesn't look right.

The Gerry-built stuff looks good!
