Patrick, how have you been? Here's my Trump M1132 ESV with mine roller. I built it pretty much OOB for the Armored Car Campaign. It's almost finished off. I'm about to kick off a Tamiya M26 Dragon Wagon for the tank transporter campaign, but I've been kinda dragging on that project. Anyway, take care!

Nice job Tony. I especially like the weathering of the finish you've done.

Hey Steve. Sorry we missed you at the Butch O'Hare show this weekend. I hope the wife is doing well.

Anyway, I too am looking forward to the MH series coming out. And... I just LOVE the Trumpy LAV III kit. I have it, but need to get some other bits before I'm ready to work on it.

Just finished the Skp Humber Scout car which was a bit of a pain -fit wise but turned out okay in the end. I'd like to try the Bronco one some day to compare

I've been pondering straying out of my focus and getting one of the Trumpeter LAV III's. Such a neat looking vehicle.

Nice job on the Humber Pat. I too built the kit and agree with you in your assessment. It almost reminded me of working on a resin kit (without the dust).

A partial list of stuff currently on my workbench: (I got WAY too many projects going at one time!)

Russian AA-60 Airport Crash Truck

Big MAZ-537 tractor with engine and full driveline

North African Theatre built armored Deuce: (This really existed!)

Deuce being prepared for overseas shipment:

Opel Blitz with scratch built conversion to 4x4 drive and ambulance body:(Modified Italeri GM CMP 100ctw driveline components to build 4x4 - Opel was owned by GM before and after WWII.)


CCKW with scratch built fuel browser conversion:(Italeri cab, Tamiya chassis, scratch built tank. Am also attempting to convert water buffalo into fuel trailer.)
WAY too many projects!

I did actually finish something recently: (It took a second place in softskins at the Louisville IMPS.)

(More or less Out Of Box, added Archer gauges and data plates, Tasca gas cans, Eduard etched gun rack, scratch built canvas windshield wings and oar, also custom modified Tamiya driver and seated crew figure from Dragon Wagon kit. Thinking of still adding real braded rope bumpers from Thachweave.)

Opps, I forgot the Riich Models RSO, back-dated to look like the pre-production prototype and an immaginary Opel Blitz 4x6 with crew cab!

Wow Michael... that's a LOT of projects going.

And nice job on the stuff too. I do like the armored 2.5 ton truck model the most. One of my fellow AMPS Chicagoland members did one a few years ago also.

Oh, forgot about the Blitz Bus



An old Vac-Form conversion kit. The bus body comes in two pieces, split long ways which have to be joined together down the middle. Fortunately cleaning up the center seam has not proved too difficult. Also a large roof rack with duckboards will cover slightly more than half the roof when complete.

Considering how many kits are on your bench, it's not surprising you forgot one...

working on a LAV 10x10. It's going to have an AA turret, but the project has stalled while I wait from some parts from HLJ.

Really nice job on the Jackal Brent. I've been thinking about getting the Airfix kit and their Coyote as well. But, I have to finish my Accurate Armour 1/35 kits first.

Thanks Pat. I'm not doing much in the way of extra work on these but have ordered some for myself which I'll detail up a bit. They're a great base for extra work and there's plenty of "in service" ref pics around to help.

cheers
Brent

Pretty much finished assembly of the Snatch and Coyote yesterday too .....
