The kit is really small and fragile ...

If you do an unarmoured cab on the launch vehicle it may be tall but it shouldn't be too top heavy.

Although the idea of a battery of three or four launcher-only half-tracks & a command-&-control half-track appeals to me.

Makes for a fine missile conversion.  You are making progress

Thanks guys, I think I've come up with a compromise, more of that soon

In the mean time here's the first mockup of the launcher.





It will probably change a some point but it looks like it will work at the moment

Thanks for looking.........

A propos of nothing (except, maybe, Carlos' car musings?), I present the 1965 Bonneville Short Wagon - a car that Pontiac was wise enough not to build

Land / Re: BISON APC, Canada, 1:35, conversion

« Last post by apophenia on Today at 07:47:58 AM »

I remembered that I had a picture of a BISON kit on my PC. Now I've found it. I didn't take a photo of it myself, I found it and saved it. It was around the beginning of 2008. I don't know which manufacturer it is.

Interesting. But, yes, the manufacturer is a poser.

At first glance I wondered if it might be the Mouse House ASLAV APC conversion. But the kit in your photo looks like the entire upper hull was moulded in resin. Plus, the Bison add-on armour panels are in place on the nose. Hmm ...

Got the Dragon TWMP primed and painted. The roller thing hanging from the chain is from AEF but I don’t remember if it came with the connectors to attach it to the chain or not but either way, they are missing so will have to scratch build them.

Second reaction: "I bet babies make terrible tank crew."

30 second attention spans, fixated on boobies, poop their pants on a regular basis = basic functions of a 19 series D.A.T.

However, you may have a point as they weigh about the same as a 105mm HEAT round.

(Tangentially, I am reminded of the shoe size exchange in FARGO https://youtu.be/BouYk0Ok4g4?t=165)
