Thanks guys. McNeilly, it was/is intended for a dio, but I had not gotten the time to start on it. The concept of the dio is to have a M113 or a M923 truck or even a Man 8x8 load the CLT dolly on a C130 using just the cargo bay as part of the dio. Obviousely, the whole plane would be a problem making it almost impossible because I would need a huge dio to dispaly it. So, I intended to just model the cargo bay. Now since there are no 1/35 scale I had to go to the next thing that offered something close to the scale ; and that is a 1/33 scale version made in paper. So I bought a 1/33 scale C130 paper model which I will eventually build when I get the time. It'll be my first so I'm not really looking forward to it as I dread the outcome of it. Oh well, time will tell.

Excellent Charles. I always like your fresh and original subjects. What do you use for the small decals? Will be interesting to see how the aircraft-loading scene turns out. Could be a possible shadow box idea ... actually looking out from the cargo area, to the back side of the open aircraft, where the dolly is being loaded into. A night scene with some internal lighting maybe!!

Miloslav than you again for those pics. I love'em. Thanks Frank. Always glad to hear from you. . The decals I took from some model railroading set that I had in my stash. BTW, your tips sound very interesting. I will definately consider that particular scenerio you mentioned. Very creative. Thank you for that.
