I had to PS a few logos off the front of this one: Sorry I couldn't find a bigger pic.

T17 Deerhound. There was also a 4x4 version called the T17E1 Staghound that was produced in much greater numbers. It says what it's called on the side of the hull.

How does a 50-foot tall robot achieve the rank of Captain in the US Army? That was a pretty nice short film. The Mustangs flying through the wrecked carrier was a bit unrealistic though... However, on the whole it was better than Pearl Harbour.

Oh shite! Sorry pumpkin.

Mate, how many times do you have to be told. The guys in that second picture are SEALs. The name and details of the career of the bloke in the middle carrying the Mk.46/48 have widely been published since his death a few days after that photo was taken. Just Google Michael A. Monsoor for details of the guy. An image search of that name will produce multiple versions of that image. The credibility of the blokes in that image being SEALs is beyond-dispute. The credibility of many of the 'facts' you've produced is questionable to say the least. I don't mean to insult you, I merely want to correct you on this point. Â Hopefully this isn't getting off-topic since it discusses the use of the ACU.

It is a Javelin yes, but not the one you're thinking of Orson and Messy. Javelin was the name of the portable air-defense missile system the UK used before Starstreak (edit: aparently there was somet called Starburst between the two as well, though I've never heard of it, and I'm fairly sure we were still using Javelin as late as 1996). AFAIK it was an improved version of Blowpipe. The AT Javelin we're using now is a completely different animal, the two aren't related in any way. They just have the same name.

That's the sort of answer I was looking for. Good stuff.

Thanks for that pdf. That one was tough mate, I couldn't find the name of those models anywhere, just details of their purchase and articles describing the technology behind them. Looks like a nice truck. Alright, my turn again. This one's easy so I'd like a fairly a specific answer, or a description of what's special about it. btw Rock, you're barred from answering this one.

It's made by TATRA, don't know the name of it though. Czech army are getting them AFAIK. There's a video of the 4x4 and 8x8 version here: http://www.offroadtrucks.com.au/buttons/download2meg-off.jpg Pic of the 4x4 on army.cz website: The 4x4's called TATRA Medium Off-road Truck according to that site. This one maybe Heavy Off-road Truck? I think the Boat's a Support Laminated Boat (RUSB). http://www.army.cz/scripts/detail.php?id=6090

If we're going for full names it's BAe Land Systems Hagglund Spitterskyddad Enhets Platform (SEP). No it wasn't that hard, I'm just finding it hard to find good vehicles to post myself when I get them right. adamicz was first though really, so his go next.

One Problem Marpat means - MARine PATtern It's not just the USMC using MARPAT on its uniforms now. Bosnia recently started issuing it to their forces. I believe it's has been used among certain groups in the Greek military too, IIRC it was a naval spec-ops unit. The USMC can probably license the pattern to whoever it wishes.

Also, the night-vision wont turn off unless you get out of the chopper. Overall it's very nice though. Having a Hind back for OPFOR is brilliant, as is the fact that its shadows effect other objects, and itself. Good stuff.
-
Nice one! Woodland grenadier is missing an M203 though.
-
Yellow Sun was right. I believe the one pictured is a Mk.2 with a Red Snow warhead.
-
Probably quite easy. I'm going to get some kip now though so it may be some time before you get confirmation.

In addition to the issues mentioned. Handguns (i.e the Browning HP and M79) only appear to show up when reloading or running. If you stand still, your hands look empty. Everything included's really good quality though lads.
-
Good stuff lads. I know how much time, effort and even money some of you have invested in this project and I'm extrememly grateful for it.

Blohm und Voss BV-155 yes.

Could only find a little pic of this one:

Object 416

Well done, you're correct.

This one might be difficult:

M561 Gama Goat

Aye, based on a Mk.2 chassis IIRC.
