Hi Jim.......these things always remind me of a circus calliope. I can only imagine the tunes they must have played for the "Kraut's". You have done a great job on this most unusual subject sir!

these things always remind me of a circus calliope.

Which, incidentally, was the nickname for this particular device It’s a T34 Calliope multiple-rocket launcher.

(TBH, I had never heard of a musical instrument by that name. Looking it up, I find it’s what I would simply call an “organ” and that the name is pronounced differently from how I thought it was.)

I'm going to write about the model.
Great build Jim. I always smile when I see one of these here Callyopees.

You always give a most distinctive and instantly recognizable style to your models....

Top work!

Thanks Ron, I had some fun playing in the mud with this one, plus picking some micro foliage from the lawn.
Also used some HO railroad foam on ground work with assorted other tidbits.
Glad you like...Jim

Hi Jim
Another great model. As others have said you have a style all your own. I like the Cat and Mouse design. Home made decals? Based on an actual tank or just a great idea of your own?

Nice one Jim, as always... is that the Revell or Italeri kit?

Wow Jim,

That Adirondack Mountain air seems to pump up your mojo. The Sherm is a real beauty and most of all, the groundwork is a phenomenal piece of art. Looks so realistic!!!....
