Creativity Challenge no4: ModellingWhile we're voting for #3, time to start Creativity Challenge #4:
Make one WAS or AAM mini mod.
You can, of course, submit previous work of yours, but I doubt you'll win with something we've seen before  .
The deadline is Sunday midnight Pacific Time.
You can submit up to two images showing different angles of your miniature. One miniature only. Please don't post huge 1280x... images. If it's that large please crop it down to something like 640x480, so that you photo doesn't dominate the page .

A few questions to clarify this challenge.
1. This is one category/challenge of WAS and AAM?
2. Does it have to be a mod of a WoTC mini or can it be a model you use with WAS or AAM?
3. Assume 3D terrain projects WAS or AAM are not included in this challenge?

does only paint jobs count?
here my example:
Three sqadrons of Dauntless with the USS Yorktown(CV 5) in background:

I would think painting a WoTC mini is a mod.
Looks nice by the way.

In other words you need time to get your done.
I will withhold saring pics of my railroad terrain then.

Thanks panzerpainter. It's identical, so it's as if it's one mini  .

Is it too late to withdraw the Amtracks, and post something that is new? This SAS jeep will be done in time, and should be the bees knees.

not at all. you can withdraw and re-submit anything you want until the deadline.

Great! Cause I think I got this SAS nailed. 40 pieces and counting.
I am not sure which is more fun: Making mods, or researching them. These lil buggers, with all guns blazing, could put out 5000 RPM. They absolutely DEVASTATED German airbases, racking up almost 100 planes destroyed in just 2 raids.

In the bottom pic, you can see 2 blankets strapped to the side. I noticed only after I posted this, that the straps would look better a diff color, and have since been painted brown.

Here's the Bear. Thanks for considering it.

This is my first, and only, mod, so I might as well see if I can get points for being at the bottom of the ranking.
I converted a Jintsu to an Oi using the torpedo tubes off of 5 French destroyers.
Just my little contribution.
