A few actually I am building a 1/48 Sherman tank But instead of using the normal 76mm cannon,I am adding a long barrel 75mm that was on a Panther tank normally 😀 😛

Cool. Where do you get the spare parts to add? 😀 😀 😛

I see, you can be creative instead of staying with the standard for that tank. 😀 😛

I added a metal barrel that's considered AM-after market Some modelers like to add AM parts like metal barrels to their models I add them sometimes if the kit barrel is bad 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

There is more to building model tanks than I thought. 😀 😛

Some modelers,like myself,model what's called "what-if" This is what this current model is about Basically what if the U.S. Army put on a better barrel for the Sherman tanks 😀 😛

You'd be surprised at how much money you can sink into after market parts for any scale models I try to use reason when and if I buy that stuff 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

How many completed model tanks have you got at home, General Zod? 😀 😛

There might be some 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Somehow I can't picture a laser canon on a tank very easily. 😀 😛

Good question I really have no idea of the true number of kits I have built over the years

At a guess,I have probably built around 50 models since driving truck I started about 12 years ago 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Wow, that's a lot of models.
😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

There might be some 😀 😛

Now that would be really neat. 😀 😀 😛

I would imagine science fiction models would have lasers 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I had some model airplanes that I made as a child, but I'm sure that they were disposed of into the trash many years ago when my parents moved. 😀 😛

 

[General Zod]

Wow that is a lot.

I have no life 😛 😀 😛

Yea I tend to go nuts over Sci-Fi stuff LOL, One reason I took up 3d art. 😛

What kind of planes did you build? 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I've been accused of the same, having no life, because I post here so much. 😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

Nahhh its cool. Everyone should have a hobby. Perhaps even a few. It helps define us I think. Ooooooooh that almost sounded wise. LOL 😉 😛
