Thanx!

Ok, as I dont have space for any more sizeable  Dio's and my Hadleys Hope Dio has been scrapped after a large friendly dog bounced all over it! LOL!....Groan!
I have also finished my USCMC figures using Wookie- Balls cast off old armour

So.... I am now moving swiftly onto my next USCMC Vehicle project! :)

This is a USCMC Tank / APC!

I started with a fairly familiar HM Forces tank for  12" figures.
From there I took it apart, made a base for the turret, so 3.75" figures can stand in the Turret and added an entry hatch to the lower decks with a ladder.
I then cut a door section out of the back of the tank and replaced the plastic with a door ramp which will  raise and close.
I then added several new guns, a radar dish and radio masts to  the outside.
I have also started on the inside and created a drivers position at the front, there are also 2 benches at the rear for the Marines to sit on.
This is obviously still early days and WIP.
Hope you like it! :)

I think what Tamer meant was IF you do get rid of it send it to him lol

But I love idea of repurposing 12" vehicles for 1:18 scale figures it make the vehicle look even bigger than it reall is.
Can't wait to see all the little things added to this

Ive made a bit of progress on the USCMC Tank, its main colour has changed, though it still needs camo added.
The Interior is pretty much complete though, there will be some LED lighting too eventually!
Hope you like! :)

Ok this is a USMC M580 Battle APC, it resulted from a Government cost cutting exercise, which saw the M22 Jackson Tank and the standard M577 APC merged into one vehicle, but for once everyone was happy about it! :)
This huge Tank is basically an oversized APC base with a large gun Turret on top. This model sports a huge M40 Ridgeway gun as well as a smaller M577 A miain gun and not to mention a side gun from the M577 B Turret as well as 2 banks of M402 Multiple Launch mortars and a heavy duty M60 machine Gun for crowd control accessed via the front hatch.

In addition to its ability to act as a full Battle Tank, the M580 is also a fully functional APC with the ability to carry two 4 man Colonial Marine Rifle Squads, their Section Sargent and Platoon  Commander, as well as an Android Driver, a Turret Gunner and all their equipment.

I experimented with the LED's for this one, I used Ballon LED's for Weddings etc, they were cheap, come ina variety of colours and can be turned off, on constantly or set to flash, you can also replace their watch type batteries.
The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed, that this sports 2 fron headlights (white), 2 rear lights (red) and a number of blue lights for lighting the interior. As well as these though, there is also an LED in the end of the front main cannon and also one in the side gun, which flash red, though I couldnt capture that in the pics sadly.

The info and M 'this that and the other numbers', were based on info from the ALIENS: Colonial Marines Technical Manual by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood, which is well worth a look! :)

Hope you enjoyed the pics! :)
