Maddog Armor Manufacturing 2013 Production Line

Okay, just a small Christmas update for this Christmas Eve. I didn't get too much done, but there is a variety here that I can show.

First model is this horse drawn machine gun trailer. I did a little dry-brushing and preliminary weathering and added a little P/E to it:

Here it is with the horses:

Since then, both the horses and the wagons have been given a wash.

Moving along, here's my Russian TOS 1 MLRS. I got all the hull detail parts added, and even added the extra parts to the metal lower hull:

I also made this so that the rocket launcher can be raised, just like on my ACE TOS-1A:

And a rear shot showing the extra parts added to the lower hull:

So now this thing is ready for paint. So why wait? Here it is with the Dark Green basecoat:

The TOS-1 has also received a wash now as well, and I even washed the British MICV Warrior that has been languishing on my bench while I try to find the decals and instruction sheet again.



Okay, as I said; a small update for now. Maybe after Christmas when things slow down a little, I'll be able to finish some of these models. I also got some progress done on some aircraft, feel free to check into the Wesendorf Field for more. Meanwhile, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.
 
Had to do a little catchin up :soldier ......You is da Model buildin Machine Man (y) nice paint work on those gaming tanks :drinks
 
Gaming tanks? OH! You went that far back! Cool! Thanks for the compliment, the guy I did them for was very pleased.

Thanks very much for the compliment, I appreciate it very much. I hope to get some more done soon. Stay tuned!
 
Duke, those are some really nice looking pieces. You have done a nice job getting them finished for the holiday. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and a Happy New Year as well my friend.

Dave
 
Thanks Dave! I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. I have a couple more finished and hope to get them posted here soon.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well.
 
Hey everyone! Happy New Year!

Here's a small update to close out this factory line for 2013. Not too much got done, but I managed to finish one, and another one I got so fed up with fighting that I'm declaring it done.

Here's what is still in progress as of the end of the year.



Here is my Russian TOS I MLRS all decaled, washed and drybrushed. She's looking factory fresh here:

You can see here how I modified this so the launcher would raise:

This one also got done already as well. After those pics above were taken, the crew took her out for a spin. I got pics of her after their inaugural drive in my finished armor thread. The crew was even nice enough to park her next to the other TOS I Buratino that I'd finished earlier in the year. Feel free to check it out.

And finally, I started a new model: Dragon's StuG 42 for a StuG campaign here on these Forums. I didn't get far this year; only got the wheels, drive sprockets and idlers on the lower hull:

And that closes out my Manufacturing Thread for 2013. It's been a great run, especially when I was building Dora; hopefully 2014 will see me increase my output to it's usual level.

Thanks for the great ride guys, comments are welcome. I look forward to starting up a new 2013 Thread next year!
