I just wanted to post some pictures of my U.S. armour (well part of it).
Pics were taken very quickly as Dan Siskind from Brickmania wanted to see them. Newer and better quality pics coming soon once I get my "photo taking area" set up permanently:
Shermans:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=408021Back story- Originally built as Brickmania 12 stud wide "Jumbo" Shermans in
late 2007 from purchased instructions. Mid 2008, tanks were converted to 12
stud wide M4A2's (entire front and gun were changed). February 2009, converted
to 10 stud wide (complete disassembly of models with both inner and outer redesign).
Brickarms "potato masher" used for front machine gun.
Monopods (x2) used for .30 cal pivot
Additional assorted Brickarms weapons used as both stowage and crew armament.
M7B1 Priest (work in progress):
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=408022Back story- Built completely without instructions but inspired by a M7 Priest built by Dan
Siskind (Brickmania). Major difference, the M7B1 uses a M4 Sherman chassis as
the base instead of the M3 Lee chassis used for the M7.
Brickarms M6 rockets (gun metal) used as howitzer shells
Monopods will be used in the same configuration for the .50 cal pivot as on the Shermans
Assorted Brickarms weapons will also be used as stowage and crew armament.
