The Ft. Stewart 3rd ID Museum is coming along nicely. Display tables with models and now display boards with pictures of the actual vehicles and the models. Even a board that shows some in-progress shots of some of the models. Robert Burik and the curator has given us permission to share the pictures.

This is the display board for Spartan 6(HQ66), the Brigade CO's command M113. It had a TV news film crew on board which I also added along with the driver, TC, Brigade CO and his FO. This was one of 3 models I did for the museum and it is the one in the upper right hand corner of the table.



There will be more and better pictures coming soon. Hopefully the other members of the build that are on here will add their pictures from the museum as well to this thread.

Again, it was an honor and a privilege to build these for my fellow brothers who participated in the "THUNDER RUN!"

Looking great. Buck Meeks, curator at the 3ID Museum, is doing a great job with the displays. I will most likely be stopping in to see them when I travel through GA on my way to FL for Christmas. Can't wait to see how the BFIST I built looks all set up.

Well done guys! I remember many Armorama members were included in this project and it is great seeing the models get the attention they deserve.

Gino would you mind snapping some pics of the M113 Ambulance and Bradley I built. I'd love some close up shots of my vehicles on display.

Buck posted over on the Thunder Run Museum Build Facebook page that he will soon be taking good (Digital SLR) pics of each model and the poster boards that goes with each display. I'm sure his shots will be better than mine.

Mr. Buck Meeks took better pictures of all the displays for us. Again, here is my contribution to the "Thunder Run" display.

I hope that there will be a glass case put over the top of them to keep the dust out and finger from breaking little parts off.
Very nicely done!!

Yes there is, Mr. Meeks just had them off I guess because of the glare for the pictures. Also, the stands are not finished, there will be roads under the models.

Awesome display! If I get down South, I'll have to see about going through it in person!
