Tanks for the Memories - Closing out 2019

Thank you all for stopping by my humble blog in 2019, and leaving such nice comments. I truly appreciate the sentiments and feel a bond, albeit virtual, with all of you. On the gaming scene, and in a slightly altered state of mind due to a few glasses of wine and other spirits, I ordered a copy of  Bolt Action Tank War. While awaiting its arrival, I figured I'd do a headcount of vehicles.These are all 1/50th-1/48th scale; mostly Corgi and New Millennium diecasts, a few Tamiya kits and a couple of Solido armored cars.
The Americans are outgunned, but I hope to add a P-47 or P-51 for close air support.
Thinking about an Operation Cobra scenario which will preclude the Jadgtiger and Pershing, but the rest of the vehicles could be used.
NM: 1/48th New Millennium; TA: 1/48th Tamiya; SO: 1/50th Solido; HM: 1/48th Hobby Master; CO: 1/50th Corgi; KE: 1/48th Kengi
Again, thank you all for another great year of hobby blogging. Your continued visits and comments really mean a lot to me and I sincerely apologize if I've missing any of the post on your blogs. In any case, wishing you all the best this holiday season and a very Merry Christmas!

    You can't close out 2019 yet; there are still two weeks to game, paint, and blog!
    Have a enjoyable rest of the year.

    To be frank, you can almost hear the clank of rank after rank of your tank bank as they crank to the flank!
    Was it just a prank inspired by what you drank?
    A Merry Christmas and a peaceful and healthy New Tear, Dean.
