French Armored division

I propose you my heavy armor team for the french corps.

This is a work in progress....

My inspiration come from the heavy armor medic.

Hi,

I present here my anti-air-craft M2

The box of the Barking dog contains an alternative anti-aircraft weapons and i used it on a standard M2

 

and finally my airport mecha with its base.

[GorFrag 30]

Great work!

 

MUST GET BARKING DOG!

[Major Mishap 33]

I'm not so sure those AA guns come with Barking Dog.  A friend has the kit and no AA weapons were included and also the colour of the unpainted AA guns is all wrong compared to the actual plastic of the Barking Dog.

Strange...
In my kit the two weapons are in position 33 and 34 on the weapon's plate, if I remember correctly

I discovered that my installation of weapons is not correct as can be seen
on this crusader.

How do you mean, not correct?  I've asked me mate to check his sprue in case he just didn't notice, what guns are they supposed to be with the Dog 20mm Oerlikon guns?

[Bifidus2 0]

As you can see, I set the base of the gun directly on the turret.
I had to go through the inside.

Like this :

My current installation...

The assembly with the correction

My kit has them as well. I have not built it yet but was wondering what they were meant for. I like your creation.

Thank you for your comments

Hi,

Today, my Armor with their equipment.

The packages come from a Tamiya kit.

 

[Major Mishap 33]

My mate found his AA bits and is srating to assemble (thanks for spotting this) and so have out a card together for him and you , what do you think?

The Oerlikon stats have been derived from comparing the .50 MG stats as we now have stats for single, twin and quad weapon systems and applied these to the 20mm quad of the Axis guns.  The basic formula appears to be +2 dice for the second barrel and add +1 dice for each barrel after.  I've only given it Advance Reactive as it neither has the radar found on the big AA walkers nor the rate of fire from a quad gun to give it Superior Reactive.

I've costed it at 35pts, the same as a Mickey as it is the closest comparisson.  Both have their pros and cons and could not say which would be the best value to take against an unknown enemy.

Excellent, the characteristics are balanced.
You did a great job of analysis to find the right settings.

But you're right, we will know its true potential when
the rules for aircraft come.

Thank you.

 Nice job! I´m particulary fond of these adaptations, since I feel they get you deeper into the world of dust...

BTW I assume you sculpted the masks...they also have a cthuiluesque feel XD

[mgentile7 0]

That card looks great. Is it possible to send me a copy to use, mgentile7@yahoo.com. ? I would greatly appreciate it.

[Bifidus2 0]

Thanks Aldarion.(i like your blog)

I did not create the heads, I have bought on the net.

You find more detail here :

For mgentile7,

you can copy this image.
For my part, I'll copy it and  I will cover it with plastic.

Thanks for your interest.

Hi,

I present today the hero of my army , Colonel Philippe de Clairville from "Légion Etrangère"

[Bifidus2 0]

Hi, today my first Luther...

I need to finish the MG and the base

[Major Mishap 33]

Nice addition of skirt armour.  The Ryu have these too and Dust models have given it the Damage Resilient trait, maybe worth an extra 10pts?

[sparkybrain 0]

Very nice! I like the white kepi on the Philippe de Clairville. Good job!

[Bifidus2 0]

Thanks for your comments.

 

You're right, for my Luther, inspiration came from Ryu and from Panzer IV extra armor .

More pictures with the finish :

[Loophole Master 2]

Just a note: that's a Ludwig.

[Bifidus2 0]

Thanks Loophole Master, I'm wrong, it's a Ludwig.

To support my troops, I made an armored car "Autoblinda AB41".

[Bifidus2 0]

 

Hello everybody, I present to you my german light walker for all lands.
 

 

 

 

I need to finish it...

 

 

[Psykostevo 3]

 This is an awesome thread. I really like your personal adaptations and creativity. 

Where'd you get the armored car model? Perfect look for Dust.
