LCT in 35th scale....now there is a dream kit. $1000 plus the 6 Shermans and the 40 -50 figures . 5 feet long now that would take the cake. Bring that to a model show all tricked out and you would probably walk home with either best in show and / or favorite model.

the barge LCA looks nice..first time i'd ever heard of the brand name..i think we don't have that here...maybe..just maybe hongkong base hobbiestore can provide the kit. the LCT4 is quite a piece. too big for my workroom. the whole kit is a diorama itself..tanks,troops and other accessories..you can create a whole environment in it. thanks for the information..i'll research on the fonderie miniature and check if i can get one. thanks again.

hi there,..here are the latest images of my LCVP project...figures from academy,italeri,tamiya and dragon..heads from verlinden. the jeep is an old tamiya kit with 50.cal from academy. this is a test shot so probably the figures will somehow look differently while converting some of them in process. i made alot of changes on the landingcraft crew..using tank comanders from academy and other kit..







comments and suggestions are very much welcome...ummm.. actually i need information on the landing troops' uniforms. any materials or pictures will be very appreciated. thanks all.

Wow like what you did with the paint scheme. And your right that falls together after seeing your great results I started mine. I'm thinking USMC. maybe useing the Airfix multi pose figures myself. Thanks for the painting tips.

Hope the weather is nice my pen pal lives there.

i was just wondering...did they have motorcycles during the normandy landing..i mean..after the beach-head..the 2nd or 3rd wave landings..when supplies and equipments had to be brought to the beach. well probably historical photos will justify the idea.





thanks treecat. the weather here is fine.. wet and dry..humid and sometimes cold. swaying palmtrees and lots a rice paddies. tropical weather all year round.

hi there,..i'm almost finished with my project..little more details and some weathering. one tip for LCVP builders..make sure you have longer strings so when choosing open or close ramp will not be problem..mine got short a few inches. so i fabricated electrical wire, stranded it for the cable ramps. other strings are kinda 'wooly' so the best choice is copper wire..









the next thing to do is how to make water. cheerios and cheetos!

That just looks absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to see the LCM and LCVP "hittin the beach"

It looks very good Ed!

Congratulations! Don't forget my request
I think that they will look terrific in a Dio!!!
