695 Now Done...Five More To Go.

[Duke Maddog]

Well, despite my setbacks, I have slowly been able to move forward. I now have a total of 695 completed small scale vehicles. Here are the last five completed to date.

I'll start with two models I finished some time ago but forget to post when they were done. This first one is the 1/72 scale Roden Ludwig Areo bus done up as a Luftwaffe officer's transport bus:





I finally got the civilian version of this bus that I'll try to start once I recover from my surgery.


Next is the 1/72 scale Roden Vomag 7 bus that I did in the green scheme that is offered as one of the options:







Now moving on to my most recent vehicles, here is my 1/72 scale Revell of Germany TPz 1 Fuchs wheeled APC:





Next up is my 1/72 scale Revell of Germany GTF Boxer APC:





And finally, my 1/72 scale Revell of Germany GTF Boxer Command vehicle:







And there they are. Now all I have to do is finish another five and I'll finally achieve my next milestone. I do hope I can do it soon.

That's all for now. Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Nice batch of five rollers there Mark! You are just about there to your milestone mark! Bravo!

[Duke Maddog]

Thanks Carlos! I'd been wanting to get to that milestone sooner, but it'll happen eventually. I appreciate the compliment. I'm so thrilled to have them on my shelf now.

Well done, Duke! Now let's see you hit the 700 milestone before the New Year!

Well done, Duke! Now let's see you hit the 700 milestone before the New Year!

Looking at the Boxer, it has a modern sci fi look to it... kind of reminds me of the APC in "Aliens"....

[Duke Maddog]

Thanks Blacksheep! I don't think I'll make it to 700 before the New Year. It might be a few months down the line. Of course, that ll depends on my hand and Life itself.

Thanks Carlos! I agree about the Boxer. It does have that Sci-Fi kinda look. Maybe they took inspiration from the "Aliens" movie...

Another thing that makes these Boxers so advanced: the rear part of these vehicles is modularized. Whenever they need more of a type of vehicle, they just lift the rear module out and replace it with one that fits the mission. Pretty wild!

Thanks again for the great replies guys!

Congratulations Duke,

6 9 5 is already a really respectful number !

The Luftwaffes officers bus looks really good! My favorite of these 5

Thanks Kari! I appreciate it. I am looking forward to getting 700 completed. Once I get the last five built; I'll take the whole collection down to a local hall that a friend of mine manages. There I'll set everything up on tables and shoot a few huge pictures of the entire collection of small scale vehicles all together.

I'm glad you like the Officer's bus. Most people like the big Vomag, mostly because of it's size. I love the color on the Vomag myself.

Stay tuned, I hope to have more done soon.

The green on the Vomag bus reminds me of the Polezei cars...

[Duke Maddog]

Interesting. I didn't know they were the same color. Then again, these buses were supposedly used by the Reichspost or something like that. That's government I'm guessing.
