Construction





I have few complaints about the Old Glory vehicle models. the 15mm models have good detail, and they assembled quickly and with little problem. There were really no major issues with the castings, just a few mold lines and some extra flash. One complaint I do have is that the barrels supplied for the KV tanks were the same size as the stuart barrels, and smaller than the BA-10 barrels. They were too short as well so I decided the "stock" barrels had to go. I made my own out of some wire and I think they look pretty good. I am awaiting the arrival of the tank commanders before deciding which and how many of the tanks will be buttoned/unbuttoned.

Heavy Metal



I have completed all of the vehicles that have arrived from Warweb.com. I am (im)patiently awating the rest of my shipment, which is on back order...
