That Pegasus USMC box has several M14 arms in it as well, in case I ever go later in the war.<br />I'm already ahead of you in the tank department :D<br />One JS3 is finished, and I'll start on my Pegasus M-47 soon. BTR-152s will probably be a future addition, and I can use my M3 tracks that I already have from WW2 with my US! Exciting times!Ben B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11032912544426547612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891265313604303549.post-62823156137690426682013-02-02T08:24:21.652-05:002013-02-02T08:24:21.652-05:00Thanks Gowan!

...Thanks Gowan! Too bad about the sad miniatures :D<br />Being successful in school is definitely worth it though, as I'm sure you know. <br /><br />And I have found this project to be quite fun so far, I may need to work on it a little more today!Ben B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11032912544426547612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891265313604303549.post-44768149793876470472013-02-02T07:41:26.885-05:002013-02-02T07:41:26.885-05:00Lovely work, Ben!!! These guys are awesome. I lo...Lovely work, Ben!!! These guys are awesome. I love the officer with the AK and the sniper is great too.<br /><br />For your US troopers, are you going to arm them with M14s? That conversion will be tricky - you might be able to make it happen from WWII M1 Garands adding a box mag to them (maybe from the German Gewehr rifle from the italeri elite german forces box?) That will look pretty sweet on the tabletop - M113s and M48 Patton tanks fighting it out against T55/T62 and BTR50 and BTR152! Hurry up! Your fans want more!Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891265313604303549.post-91485992827846183232013-02-02T01:23:15.218-05:002013-02-02T01:23:15.218-05:00nice work so far.

So I too have had a busy week what with laneway, year 9 powhiri and then the 2 day camp. my poor miniatures are looking a little upset by my lack of action but as school becones I guess that they will need to get used to it...<br /><br />... I hope that you too can find this weekend very productive. best of luck with the soviets and also on the US guys. I must say its going to be interesting to see what you come up with for this "what if" era.Daisy Gowan Ditchburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476802587483833107noreply@blogger.com
