Available in the next few days, the 3dmodelz M88a1 ARV, as seen on television worldwide in the last few days pulling down a certain statue. High quality poseable cr2 figure.

Another shot, showing the poseable winch arm and winch assembly. The winch assembly also has a morph for extending the winch.

Also available, the M1 Abrams main battle tank, and the HMMWV, armoured recon version. We also have a Soviet Scud mobile launcher, and next week sometime should see completion of the T-72 heavy tank.

Very nice work I like it

How about an M113? ... there aren't any good ones at a fair price anywhere.

M113......we'll see what we can do. We were planning on leaving military vehicles alone for a few months after we finish the T-72, but they are fun to do, so it's quite possible. Fairly certain of making its way to the virtual drawing board is a British Challenger.

thinking about it, its very possible actually. the APC version...been meaning to do one anyway, as it could be used in any number of theatres of the last 40 years.

Yes, it's one tough old bird. The US Army was trying to replace it with the Stryker, a wheeled PC, but it's performance wasn't any better. It comes with several different kinds of gun mounts, with and without shields that don't impact on the basic hull. I had an M113 driver that crashed his M113 into the final drive sprocket of an M88, cracked the hull which totaled the M88 for all practical purposes.

something like this then, huolong? only the very basic shape at the moment, but give us a few days.... :-) it will turn into an A3 variant, with the external fuel tanks, and RISE armour mounting provisions. probably going to settle for the 50 cal browning on this one, but trying to track a variant, M741, with a Vulcan mounted on a 113 chassis....that sounds like fun :-)


Huolong ( ) posted Tue, 15 April 2003 at 8:21 AM

A few notes for further development. The antannae are located closer to the edge of the hull. The top hatch (not shown on the model) should be movable and is normally in the open position. In Germany, one trooper normally stands in the back with a stick with a paddle red and green sides, called the "Machs Nichts (Mox Nix) Stick) to warn motorists if it is safe to pass. The standard mount is a pintle mount that swivels with the hatch in 360 degrees around the TC hatch (Track Commanders). The rubber skirts covering the top of the tracks is often missing in combat. They were for increasing the traction of tracks in water. A trim vane is in front, normally in the up or stored position ... seen now covered with junk. Gulf War2 variants show a number of boxes fixed to the sides. As combat vehicles go, this puppy has been around forty years in the hands of troops. They were gas burners at first, by Vietnam, they had diesels. I once saw a German M113 with a Mercedes engine in it ... it hummed, ours clanked.

a bit further. the hatches will be going on, but not openable....i cant find enough interior detail to make a decent enough go of an interior....external shots by the million....but no internal...


andix ( ) posted Tue, 15 April 2003 at 3:38 PM

oh, and going to make the skirts as seperate body parts, so they can be turned off :-)


Huolong ( ) posted Tue, 15 April 2003 at 4:20 PM

Make the hatches open, details can be added inside. Maybe some photos would help?

Gordon


andix ( ) posted Tue, 15 April 2003 at 5:25 PM

If you've got any, then yes please. ive got a rough idea of the interior layout, but i need more details, particularly around the drivers area. so any photos would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Will check for interior photos.

Engine compartment has (removable) walls on drivers side and one facing the rear. Diver has seat which can slide up or down depending on whether the driver wan't his head out of the hatch or through the vision blocks. There are drop down seats attached to interior bulkhead which in turn are stepped to accommodate the tracks on the outside. These are some I took in another life
