"SWS Halftrack for real this time" Topic

SWS Halftrack link

My Roco collection is very old. There are many vehicles in it that are 40 and 50 years old or more. Not only have I been buying vehicles since 1963, but I have purchased other peoples collections who had vehicles from the 1960s and 1970s. So I have a lot of SWS halftracks, and Grille anti-aircraft guns.
When I was working I stocked up on Roco and other hobby items knowing that I would not have much money in retirement.
So now that I am retired I am looking at ways to use and improve my old and sometimes dilapidated vehicles. Here are a few photos of them with a couple improvements made.

1/87 scale vehicles with 1/72nd scale plastic troops.

The equivalent of Major Becker, making equipment from bits. Nicely done.

Thank you korsun0

I do miss my old Roco armor- sold them and my Airfix troops when I turned 13, thinking that I couldn't play with toys anymore.

Great paint job on the half-track.

They're not toys. They're military miniatures and scale models.

bobspruster what SoL said.

Also, I have 54mm and 60mm unpainted plastic troops and they are toys, and I play with them too.

You are never too old to play.

Children play football, baseball, soccer, tennis, chess, Monopoly, and many other sports and games, including army men.

You can too.

That half track looks like some I got at Arlan's a store here in Michigan that had a lot of unusual stuff. IIRC the price was 69 cents & they had one that was enclosed in the rear with searchlight, radar dist & multi rocket launcher.

That's the one. Roco made armored munitions carrier, Nebelwerfer, sound detector, and I/R searchlight versions.

Thanks for reading ZP!
