More great work Scottie

Thanks Mick.

Unless you mean figures to show the vehicle in action, any US Army figures appropriate to the period should do, really, other than ones dressed in paratroopers’ or tankers’ uniforms. You can easily use figures intended as infantrymen, for example, because these halftrack crews were equipped and dressed much the same.

By the way, if you want to add an interesting detail, equip one of them with an M1903 Springfield rifle with grenade launcher — it’s not widely known that these AA halftracks carried one of those and a supply of rifle grenades for self-defence.

Cheers mate, I will look around again. I will have a look for the rifle with grenade.

Just a Springfield with a tube on the end of the barrel would do, which you could add from a few bits of plastic rod and strip:

Fantastic work Scottie.
I like what Steve Zaloga does with a model this good when he uses just one or two figures to add interest but not divert attention from the vehicle.
Alpine do a few which would suit the M16.

Thank you very much Jon, I will look out for some figures I might buy some cheap figures and attempt to pose them as I have never done that before.

Now to bore you even more work has started on the quad 50. The fuel tank on the donkey engine was not very good at all. So I wrapped an off cut of etch plate around a piece of evergreen rod. then using strips of evergreen made the straps and a filler plug. A fuel pipe was then added. Next a few cables to the battery and the clamps were added. Finally a small piece of plastic to represent the starting pull handle.





The whole tub builds up quite nicely and is quite well detailed.



cheers
Scottie
