The Ides of March

nobody@flickr.com (Project Azazel) — Thu, 16 May 2013 23:19:45 -0700

The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martii or Idus Martiae) is a day on the Roman calendar that corresponds to 15 March. It was marked by several religious observances, and became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC. The death of Caesar made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history, as one of the events that marked the transition from the historical period known as the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire

Assault Amphibious Vehicle AAV-7A1

Project Azazel posted a photo:

The Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV)—official designation AAV-7A1 (formerly known as Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Personnel-7 abbr. LVTP-7)—is a fully tracked amphibious landing vehicle manufactured by U.S. Combat Systems (previously by United Defense, a former division of FMC Corporation).

The AAV-7A1 is the current amphibious troop transport of the United States Marine Corps. It is used by U.S. Marine Corps Assault Amphibian Battalions to land the surface assault elements of the landing force and their equipment in a single lift from assault shipping during amphibious operations to inland objectives and to conduct mechanized operations and related combat support in subsequent mechanized operations ashore. It is also operated by other forces. Marines call them "amtracks," a shortening of their original designation, "amphibious tractor."

A model thats been on my list for quite some time..seats 8 inside..maybe more if i mess around..here you can see the upper doors open with troops standing ready to dismount once they clear the water..just wanted to show that area so left it open.. support appreciated guys.. Semper Fi do or die OORAH!!!

Medivac Humvee

The M997 HMMWVs are the Ambulance configuration of the HMMWV family. The vehicles are equipped with basic armor and used to transport casualties from the battlefield to the medical aid stations.

The ambulance can be heated, ventilated, or air conditioned, depending on environmental conditions. For operation in an NBC environment, the M997 is equipped with a Gas- Particulate Filter Unit (GPFU) with heaters capable of supporting up to seven personnel equipped with either M25 series protective masks or M13 series patient protective masks. The GPFU forces temperature-controlled, filtered air to the mask facepieces, which increases protection, eases breathing, and reduces stress and heat fatigue during extended periods of NBC operation.

My Medivac Humvee..at 7 wide building the rear doors was a pain but i managed to achieve exactly what i wanted..the back and upper structures can be removed for access to figs and gear and for modding back to other versions with quick ease..this is the largest version of the Humvee ive built but still managed to keep the size down..fits both casualty and PA folding combat stretcher and two medics seated in the back and room for gear too

Rear shot as promised ; ) SWD

LVT(A)-1

nobody@flickr.com (Project Azazel) — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:48:09 -0700

Project Azazel posted a photo:

The Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT) was a class of amphibious warfare vehicle, a small amphibious landing craft, introduced by the United States Navy, Marine Corps and Army during World War II. Originally intended solely as cargo carriers for ship to shore operations, they rapidly evolved into assault troop and fire support vehicles as well. The types were all widely known as amphtrack, amtrak, amtrac etc., a portmanteau of amphibious tractor.

The LVT 1 could carry 18 fully equipped men or 4,500 pounds (2,041 kg) of cargo. Originally intended to carry replenishment from ships ashore, they lacked armor protection and their tracks and suspension were unreliable when used on hard terrain. However, the Marines soon recognized the potential of the LVT as an assault vehicle. Armored versions were introduced as well as fire support versions, dubbed Amtanks, which were fitted with turrets from Stuart series light tanks (LVT(A)-1) and Howitzer Motor Carriage M8s (LVT(A)-4). Among other upgrades were a new powerpack, also borrowed from the Stuarts, and a torsilastic suspension which significantly improved performance on land.

Had a few changes here and there..im re shooting some older models at better angles..my stream has already halfed over last few days..most of the older pics are still available on Brickshelf under "Clausewitz" but theres no point keeping them on here with no activity for 9 months..This is now the only pic on Flickr of my LVT(A)-1 on its own..sorry if you ve seen this a few times but i just wanted a better shot of her ; )

Raupenschlepper, Ost

nobody@flickr.com (Project Azazel) — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:15:59 -0700

Project Azazel posted a photo:

Raupenschlepper Ost, literally "Caterpillar Tractor East", is more commonly abbreviated to RSO. This fully tracked, lightweight vehicle was conceived in response to the poor performance of wheeled and half-tracked vehicles in the mud and snow during the Wehrmacht's first winter on the Soviet Front. The RSO may have been inspired by very similar full-tracked small tractors in use in other armies (such as the Soviet STZ-5 "Stalingradec"), mostly originated from the pre-war light to medium series of Vickers artillery tractors. Hope you guys like my MOC..never sure if you like the Vintage effect i use on some of my work..please let me know..also my stream has halfed as many pics got no actuvity for at least 6 months..they are still available on my Brickshelf account..was just no need to keep them on here..pics were really bad too..not that my current ones ain t..im always finding some problem with my work..enough i often think about giving up..after all i really am about thw figs and weapons more than actually building..but they always add something cool for the figs so i will keep on keepin on :-)

Bradley Fighting Vehicle

nobody@flickr.com (Project Azazel) — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 04:12:47 -0700

Project Azazel posted a photo:

The Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) is an American fighting vehicle platform manufactured by BAE Systems Land and Armaments, formerly United Defense. It was named after U.S. General Omar Bradley.

The Bradley is designed to transport infantry or scouts with armor protection while providing covering fire to suppress enemy troops and armored vehicles. There are several Bradley variants, including the M2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle and the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle. The M2 holds a crew of three: a commander, a gunner and a driver, as well as six fully equipped soldiers. The M3 mainly conducts scout missions and carries two scouts in addition to the regular crew of three, with space for additional TOW missiles.

Room for 7 figs seated and gear inside..8 wide..6 hatches open..sides clip on and off with ease..top can be removed for ease of access to the internals...Happy with it as it is for the experts

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), commonly known as the Humvee, is a four-wheel drive military automobile produced by AM General. It has largely supplanted the roles formerly served by smaller jeeps such as the M151 1⁄4-short-ton (230 kg) MUTT, the M561 "Gama Goat", their M718A1 and M792 ambulance versions, the CUCV, and other light trucks. Primarily used by the United States military

Fits 5 figs and gear..very easy to put together in sections..and yes it does have a steering wheel too! ; )

Special Forces Humvee

nobody@flickr.com (Project Azazel) — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:32:13 -0700

Project Azazel posted a photo:

The HMMWV was designed primarily for personnel and light cargo transport behind front lines, not as a front line fighting vehicle. Like the previous Jeep, the basic HMMWV has no armor or protection against chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear threats. Nevertheless, losses were relatively low in conventional operations, such as the Gulf War. Vehicles and crews suffered considerable damage and losses during the Battle of Mogadishu due to the nature of the urban engagement; however, the chassis survivability allowed the majority of those crews to return to safety, though the HMMWV was never designed to offer protection against intense small arms fire, much less machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. However, with the rise of asymmetric warfare and low intensity conflicts, the HMMWV has been pressed into service in urban combat roles for which it was not originally intended.

Carries 7 figs with ease..If anybody would be interested in a breakdown please let me know..if enough people wanted one then i would work with Todd to make a digital breakdown where you would pay a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project for a copy.

The Avenger Air Defense System, designated AN/TWQ-1 under the Joint Electronics Type Designation System, is an American self-propelled surface-to-air missile system which provides mobile, short-range air defense protection for ground units against cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, low-flying fixed-wing aircraft, and helicopters.

The Avenger was originally developed for the United States Armed Forces and is currently used by the U.S. Army. The Avenger system was also used by the U.S. Marine Corps.

7 wide is much better in scale for me and the Humvee is much shorter in height then many..im happy with it as it is..those humvee experts out there please don t give me advice which is basically you telling me to make mine more like yours..not interested..if something is a certain way..there is a reason and means i like it that way..thankyou..i have 4 more varients of the Military Humvee and hope to make some camo versions too..any varients people would like to see please let me know and i wil try my best..the design is super quick to modify any other version..Thanks to all the Humvee builders out there as you made my work much easier..and yes it does have a steering wheel! ; ) and yes the Missile is in forced perspective..if you want to build a missle that is a bar thick then go ahead personally id rather have a detailed missile and use forced perspective
