This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

Thanks Jarndice :thumbup: I mentioned in my field kitchen thread that I may have had something in the pipeline that you would prefer :D I also have another smaller build on the go that I may unveil before xmas ;) 8) I did not realise how big this was going to be at 1/16 scale either, it measures 22 inches in length 8O yes it is indeed going to be in American service and the appropriate decals will be added when painted and weathered, I had the idea of adding the poor fellow on the stretcher and medic to show how these vehicles would have been used for not only ferrying cargo back and forth to the ships off shore but also transporting the casualties, I'll post more pictures when it gets painted :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

Thanks Max, the hull came to me in two pieces as shown in the picture, I then made a tray for the cargo area floor which can be removed to give access to the sound unit and speaker etc it was printed a while back for me and unfortunately I do not have the print files for it, I'm not advanced enough yet to have a 3D printer, I'm still in the good ol days of styrene and glue :haha: :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee. Image

:clap: Sheer brilliance, out of the blue, Lee! I did note with a smile, though, that your casualty (Pte. Partz ?) seems to be guarding his helmet with..well, his helmet. :D
Ok, joking aside, it's very refreshing to see a model outside of the usual mainstream ones we see here. :thumbup:

:haha: thank you Roy, the helmet isn't glued on so it can be moved :D I have 18 tanks but I do like making and building vehicles too, as you say outside of the usual mainstream models, it's nice to have some support for our tanks and transport for the troops :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.
