Thank you. Haven't looked at Shapeways as much due to pricing but I'll have to keep that in mind.

  Thanks John

When to they get loaded on the train to ship out?

When the loading ramps are ready, I can start to load the flats.


After complete the HQ 1-37AR Bravo, I worke on the 1st Platoon 1-37AR Bravo.



Install storage basket and ID-panels.

@gi-depp Are you modeling the entire CAB?

@gi-depp Are you modeling the entire CAB?

My plan is:

Step 1: complete the Bravo Company 1-37AR

Step 2: modeling the Alpha Company 1-37AR

Step 3: modeling the Hotel Company 47th BSB (Forward Support 1-37AR)

Step 4: modeling some vehicles of the 40th BEB

Step 5: once M2A3 Bradley are available, modeling the Charly Company 1-37AR

Man, are these present time battle groups or are you modeling a specific timeframe?  I cannot wait to see your artwork on a train- it would be a show stopper.  This work is amazing.

The lack of CROWS on the Abrams, but present on the Stryker would indicate the late 2000s. Edit: Saw a Cougar in there too, so I'd guess 2005-2009. I haven't seen a line battalion with a Cougar hanging around yet (admittedly I haven't' seen that many ABCTs either.)

Hi John, I will stay in present as best i can, but it's not always easy in n-scale.

@pjm20: Yes, I know the CROWS are missing. I will fix the problem and install the CROWS after that.

[pjm20]

Not a knock for the CROWS, your models are amazing, especially as small as N Scale. If you're sticking with the present, hopefully 1-37 won't be seeing any JLTVs soon!

I thought the CROWS were being removed from the Abrams? https://www.steelbeasts.com/topic/10373-us-army-to-remove-crows-from-m1-abrams/

We're still ordering parts against these to fix them. Definitely haven't heard anything about not fielding the CROWS.
