During the two weeks leading up to and including Thanksgiving, I snatched every opportunity to go work in my Hobby Room. The result was two finished aircraft and these six armor/vehicle models First up, for a little splash of color, is this ancient PST 1/72 scale Russian PMZ-2 fire truck: Next are two Russian heavy tracked guns from ACE. They are missing a couple parts each but until I can find or replicate them; I'm calling them done. No need to keep them on the shelf of doom waiting for one or two parts when they look complete enough. This is the ACE 1/72 scale Russian Br-2 152mm Heavy Tracked Gun. The tracks are not glued into place so they shifted a bit as I was taking these pics. Also, I had to come up with a new aiming scope since the one tweezer-pulted off into Oblivion, so I scratched a new one. Until the other shows up, it's gonna keep that one: The next is the ACE 1/72 scale Russian Br-5 280mm Heavy Tracked Gun. A couple pieces missing again, but it looks done so it is done... for now: In keeping with the Russian theme, I decided to bring this shelf queen over the finish line instead of waiting for the parts for the SCUD C to come or be found. This is the Modelcollect 1/72 scale Russian SCUD D: The next finished model is the ACE 1/72 scale Israeli Centurion Sho't Kal Gimel, one of four Israeli Centurion variants put out by ACE: And finally, this last one is number six for the month; but number 890 in my entire armor/vehicle collection. This is the Takom 1/72 scale M1070 Gun Truck looking like she just came back from a long convoy protection mission: And that is all I have for today. I know some of these are not finished, but they are done. I have to find a place where enough is enough and I can move on. Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome.

I am always impressed on how you can turn out such a number of build batches. Always a feast for the eye.

Thank you TJ! I'm very happy with the way these turned out.
Thank you Carlos! I feel great when I can clear the bench of extra boxes and models. That and the comments I get on my work keep me motivated to produce more. Stay tuned, I just finished another model last night.

There is still a bit under 72 hours left in November Mark... Perhaps one or two more?

TC, that looks like a fine afternoon project there. Use a hot quick drying glue, simple monotone paint scheme, and boom.

Thank you CD! Thank you Kyle! I like doing unique subjects because I've built so many "mainstream" subjects that I haven't anything else to build! There is still a bit under 72 hours left in November Mark... Perhaps one or two more? Already have one more tank done Carlos! And possibly another plane, but we'll see..... TC, I don't have one of those, but some similar simple kits. I might try busting one out and seeing how close I can get it done before month end.

Thank you Handiabled! I sometimes wonder how, as I have the hardest time with so many of these!

Well, you still keep producing numbers, in spite of the hard cases.

What a wide array of subjects Mark and once again the Maddog factory turns out some good work on all. That gun truck in particular is VERY nicely done. Thank you for sharing all of these with us and it's still amazing how you have all of these going at varying stages at one time.
