Here is what I am up to... Took a 1/32 Lindberg PT boat. Purchased at a yard sale. Just the hull. Sectioned about 1 inch out of the middle from stem to stern, and cut off the bow. Bingo! a landing craft shape. Much sawing and glueing. Added a lot of evergreen shapes and a Tamiya gear box at the rear under the superstructure. Geared the gear box to it's lowest setting and attached two wheels fron a RC plane, Just the rims, which made a great spool for rasing and lowering the landing ramp. Fishing line through plastic straws to the ramp. (no binding). Full up and full down takes about 8 seconds. Just right. This is just the basic shape and I still have a lot to add and paint. I am thinking Riverene, brown water Navy.

This could be fun. Oh, I added my tank guy with the pointy finger for a scale reference. Aren't you glad I didn't add the guy looking through the binoculars!!

What do ya think??

To post an image of your models, you will first need to find somewhere to host your photos on the Internet. Your ISP will often give you a limited amount of free web storage, and other online photo storage is also available.

To post a link or an image, simply type in the URL (web address) of the destination page or image. The URL will appear as a link (for an HTML link) or an image (if you link direct to a .jpg file) when posted. You can use the Preview facility to see how your message looks before posting to Plastic Pix.

Please try to keep image sizes to 800 pixels wide or less, as larger sizes will be too big to fit on many computer screens. Also, file sizes should be kept to around 100kb or less, otherwise download may be very slow.
