HA HA! Not this time, I had to promise to slow down. I'll be sending parts to Monsieur Tox and he will send me some as well. The chassis should look/be virtually identical. The cabs and trailers will be a bit different. We are still in the engineering phase and I'm hoping he figures out the wheel and tires. He has offered up his design and printing skills while I try and work out the powertrains. My brother Mike has given quite a bit of info behind the scenes so we are thankful for his help. 4600 miles between Tox and myself and nearly 4000 more if we add in Hawaii.

Should be some really fun "global/collaboration" builds.

Oooh ooh I just came up with an idea to combine "Support" And "Germany 1945"...

Build your Monster Dragon and have it recovering an abandoned unfinished Jagdtiger!

That could work or trying to copy the picture with a landing craft on the trailer (always wanted to do one of those too).

I love the Dragon Wagon especially because I got to drive a real one while volunteering at the museum... :) Sadly our Dragon Wagon is probably never going to move under it's own power again since it's now been moved indoors at the Army's transportation museum.

OK I "gots" to know (Magnum Force in case that was missed) where/which is this museum that I need to visit very soon?
