M12 Gun Motor Carriage

Hey,

So last week I finished M12 GMC - was working in a bit of rush because I was wanted to see it on the battlefield next day (it was huge disappointment - the 'uuugest barrel in the army performed like total crap - missed 3 times aiming for a building... Still it was fun to watch infantry hidden there, running like hell out out of the cover after the thing rolled in).

Anyway - the model is rather unique so wanted to make it even more cool.

It's a static model: it's task is placing in safe position providing heavy support. So I added some crew - they all comopse really nicely: I can imagine the commander is getting coordinates while the other two are having chit-chat waiting for the orders. Crewmen are mixed crew of Warlord's M7 Priest and M3 White scout car. And the model is available here.

Despite it's recent miserable performance I am seeing it during the next game, no doubt about it. It's just way too cool to be left in the display case!

"Hellooo? Mooom? I'll be home today"

Spare bucket is a must-have during any conflict:

And a scale shot: was asked to show it compared to Sherman so here it is. About same size:

M12 Gun Motor Carriage (unmanned)

Hey again,

Once again I had a great pleasure to paint something rather unique. After Renault FT 17 it's the second vehicle from Warpainter's range which rolled on my painting station: 

M12 Gun Motor Carriage. And it's actually the very first print! So in like 50 years after I die it might be worthy fortune! (or not...)

As for models itself it's really cool although I liked details quality on Renault FT 17 better buuut it's american tank and just look at the size of that barrel! After I got it assembled whole thing seemed kinda plain so I added some stowage: bags, gas can etc.
I like how it turned out but to make it even more unique I'm gonna add some crewmen - stay tuned!

I actually should've waited with sharing pics until crew members are painted but I am rolling it out against zee Germanz within hour so I want to see them scared!

And if you want to scare some nazis - model is available at Warpainter store ;-)
