I figured everyone was shooting their new Indy truck with the top on, so I did mine with the top off and a supply load ;) I can't wait to get more of these trucks 8) Da General

Very nice set up. You get very many more tanks and soldiers you may become a super power.
Could not think of anything to put here.

Actually, I didn't do a very good job of "Staging" the scene.
I merely placed the vehicles out and took some quick pic.s.

More tanks and Men :roll: That was only HALF of my gray Tiger Is I have 4 more in the bedroom collecting dust :oops: Hmmm, I'm just thinking of how much time it would have taken to set out 300-400 troops, well, more time then I wanted to spend today ;) I really do need more of these Indy trucks for transpot of Men as well as supplys 8) Da General

Yes, it would be fun to set up a large scale battle 8)
I really look forward to seeing(and owning) a bunch of the new KTs and S4 Panthers. They would go well with Tiger Is in the Green/brown scheme. Perhaps they could combine with the customs I got from the Hun :P I got a bunch or ALOT of the camo Germans in both 21st C and FOV. Be a cool set up for the Eastern front, but I need Russians and armour for them as well :roll: Da General

That looks pretty cool!
Hey WM is open 24 hours, isn't it? I think I will spend the night running around to all the WM to try and find a couple of trucks! :?

Maybe I'll just go to bed and just dream I did!

Let's see, to answer all questions :)
First off, the Indy stuff IS at Wally world, I just got back from morning tasks and stopped and loaded up on them :roll: I got mostly figures including 2 Russian officers, but didn't see any regular russian troops :( I got another truck and a staff car as well.

THe truck, I like it for the $$$ you spend on it. It does lack fine details, but it makes a fairly good troop, supply truck for what you might find at a cheaper price.

I don't know yet about the staff car, but from the pictures, I see a marraige between one and a Hanomag to breed a new vehicle I wanted :wink: :P So I don't feel bad about having more coming from Hasbro.

I need Russian soldiers and Vogel still, I know vogel is in the next run, but WM had alot more than I thought they would :D

End of report,
Now time to go out and find Russkies :P

If anyone picks these up and doesn't want the paper crates that come with these I'll take them off your hands, as I won't be getting these. Also I'll take any of the ones that come with the figures too.

Looks great Blasto. If the truck were bigger and didn't look so toyish I might have picked one up.
