Alright, that is cool and eerily similar to my own take on the concept.

Indeed.  In fact, it's a moniker I've had for nearly 20 years now.

Actually, I hadn't seen the movie or read the book when I came up with it!  It was just a coincidence since it's obviously based on my name.  In fact, as I understand it, "Loginov" spelled with an "i" is relatively common Russian last name, something I also didn't know when I came up with the "loganov" moniker.

The designer of the the 45mm AT gun and almost all the anti-aircraft weapons used by the Soviet Union in WWII (25mm, 37mm, 76mm, 85mm) was Mikhail Loginov, for instance.

If you ever happened to play Close Combat III: The Russian Front, you'll know that every individual soldier in your unit was tracked throughout the war, along with a unique name, attributes, and service record.  The last names were all randomly selected from a list that Atomic Games came up with for the game.  The only exception was the soldier in the command squad that represented you, the player.  He had whatever name you entered.  When I played the Germans, the last name I typed in was "Hartke".  When I played as the Soviets, I used "Loganov".  Funny enough, I think one of the names that was randomly assigned to the gunner in my command Tiger one time was a soldier with the last name of "Henke".  Those are my cousins, from the same town in Germany where my family's from.  You don't have to go too many generations back in my family before you start getting Henkes.  Once, when I was playing the Soviets, a crewman in the command tank was named Loginov.  So, you had a Loganov and a Loginov in the same tank, assigned randomly.

Cheers,

Logan

The "coincidences" are really piling up eh, Komrade?  ;D

Hours and hours of my life spent playing Close Combat (all of them, but I loved III a lot), don't consider even a single second of a it a waste.  :)

Ain't that the truth, taiidan.  It's still my favorite video game series of all time.  I played them all.

That's a great build! I've seen the three wheel version further down the first page before. I'm not sure where.
I've got to try one of these soon.

Quote from: Mark Rau link=1/35th scale Spare parts zombie killer WIPdate=20140805 1:49 PM
This was built for my club Mad Maxx/ zombie killer vehicle build. 

The story behind it is that it's an ex-police armored car that was pulled out of a junkyard, and re-built with whatever parts were available.

The hull is from a Tamiya Sd.Kfz. 222, and the turret is from an Italeri LAV-25. The rest is from the spare parts box(es), or scratch-built. The turret mounts a flamethrower (cobbled together from spare parts), and a .50 cal. The hull has a MG-34 mounted next to the driver. The cutting blade is scrap plastic, and a 'I' beam.
The rest of the fittings came from spare parts, or sheet styreen.

This was a blast to build, and I used up some of the mountain of parts!

Sorry for the poor quality pics, but I'm still getting the hang of posting them.
