From DaveD - M88 ARV (22pts)

 Next up is another recent vehicle acquisition . It’s a M88 armoured recovery vehicle . I do like having engineering assets in a game as they make for great scenario creations . 

This a resin  and metal kit  from Simon at Full Metal Miniatures. I have modelled it so the A frame jib can be down or in use , I had to skip doing the support cables in that case but it still looks good . 




 

The command figure is a one I has from a Gringo40s a USAF figure cut down . I have an added a crate of “33” beer to the rear - an interesting evening research on a chat on what beers were drunk in Vietnam - Hic !. 

So 1 x 28mm vehicle = 20 points , 2 for the command figure.


Great work on the recovery vehicle, Dave!

I must confess that I was wondering where the rest of this entry was, but it is indeed just the one vehicle. Hopefully that means you are working on another of your mega submissions in the background.

  3. Great looking recovery vehicle. The beer crate is perfect, how’s the head after the research? Also like the Big D scrawled on its side.

  5. Terrific work Dave. I like that you conducted beer research (great payoff on the mini too). I hope you rewarded yourself with one when it was completed. :)

  6. Nice vick, Dave! I was first enlisted when such things were frowned upon but ignored...now they are frowned upon and punishment is dealt!
    That is definitely a work horse with good weathering and detail!
