More miniscule madness. Looking good. .

Just read some NATO countries are sending refurbished Leopard 1s. I'm pretty sure I don't have any. I may have to rethink my armor deployment & concentrate on Jaegers.

 

[Mini Me]

Sit tight Paul, before long they'll have everything but the "kitchen sink" over there.......have you given any thought to a larger dio base?

Cracking work Mate.

You can't beat a couple of these bad boys wandering around turning stuff to scrap...

This is the largest base I can easily (it's heavy & bulky) move about the cave Rick.

 

[Mini Me]

Well then it's back to interchangeable elements ....always makes it interesting.

More great work Paul

 

[JR]

Love it Paul, esp the use of existing bases.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

I always love to watch these Dios of yours come together Paul,so full of action and details.
Cracking stuff mate!

 

[Graeme C.]

I like the selection of vehicles Paul, at least in your scale you can fit plenty of them in.

Found a Leopard 1 to add to 6 Leopard 2s of various marks, a Gephard, a Roland & Unimog w/reloads and potentially 6 Foxes of various marks plus 15 infantry. Too much?

 

[Allen Dewire]

Ok Buddy, I'm a bit confused here. Are you building this as an 'in the near future' dio, or current 'today time' dio??? Looks like you have a bunch of good stuff gathered up for it, whichever way you go. I'll try to keep up Paul...

Prost

No don't think it is Paul, from the news shots there's always a great mix of kit on the Ukrainian side . If you can fit them in then great .

 

[Mini Me]

Bigger the better if you ask me.....

 

[minitnkr]

This is found Leopard1. This summer maybe. Too early for Abrams & Bradleys. Maybe I should take off A6s as well & will sub w/Marders or Fuchs maybe?

 

[minitnkr]

The challenge will be to make these old Russian tanks look like today's. T62 is prolly impossible, but maybe the two T72s. New paint, lots'a reactive blocks & side skirts maybe.

 

[Mini Me]

Sounds like an ambitious plan Paul, maybe some extra equipment stowage as well.......I'm interested to see what you come up with.

 

[minitnkr]

Did a search & found the Russians are using T-62s in Ukraine along w/T-72s, T-80s & some T-90s as well as various marks of AFV & APC. No wonder their tail is such a mess.

 

[Jim R]

You've set yourself quite a task Paul. Trying to model an ever changing situation is difficult indeed. Whatever you include I'm sure the result will be convincing and we'll executed.
