Post subject:  Dingo 2: First steps towards an AU

Hey there!

You're not going to remember me (Mark a.k.a. @blackbuck might), but the lockdown reminded me of this forum. And with too much time on my hands, I thought about going back to work (hopefully in a more successful manner than the last time where I struggled with the rules).

My aim is to develop an entire AU country based on my home state of Bavaria. I was playing around a little, equipping "my" armed forces with existing models. My first entries are to be reskins of credited authors – to get started somewhere but also to develop a better feeling for the dos and don'ts.

This KMW Dingo 2 family is based on the fantastic work by the great @Ro-Po Max, I only recoloured it and applied a few changes here and there. (I think I saw newer blueprints than he did.) I also played around a little with the colours and the shading.

The command post variant is approximately 50% of my own work, as far as I'm aware none have drawn one before. It's based on an upgrade proposed by KMW and Leonardo to the Belgians. The ambulance-looking variant is a modification of Ro-Po Max's original work to resemble the so called Dingo 2 Notfallfahrzeug, an configuration built for the Austrians to handle contaminated patients. You could actually see it in action for the first time during the Covid-19 crisis.

A wee question pertaining to tiny alterations: I used an antenna shape that (if memory serves me right) I saw on a drawing by Little_bird. I want to give credit where credit is due, obviously. What should I do?

I'm looking forward to your comments.

Welcome back. Nice work, though I'd suggest putting it on standard template (that doesn't show that black contour with rounded edges and has shipbucket.com in bottom right corner). I don't think it would be necessary to credit Little_bird for merely using an antenna (unless it would be AWACS-sized antenna ;) ).
