My last two before packing up and moving. I started the 113 a long time ago but the 577 recently after someone else posted a nice one and it inspired me. The 577 represents one I crewed in the 80's when I was in the 3d ACR. It was a newer vehicle and at the time all of our newer vehicles were coming all green, we had an 88 and a couple AVLB's like that. Still not completely done with them both but I have to pack to move.

Beautiful renditions of my one of my favorite armoured vehicles.

Thanks for sharing

Really like the ambulance. Nice cammo and the red cross really adds some pop. Very visually appealing in my opinion.

Both nice but the camo on the ambulance is great.

Is the ballast plate rack on the top of the M577 from a PE set?

Thanks for the kind words guys. Yes, the ballast rack is from the Eduard PE set, as is all the PE on both vehicles. The rear of the 113 has a lot of scratch building. Didn't go too crazy, took the lazy way out with the tracks, it's the rubber band that came with the kits. No idea where the crosses came from, had them for years and I know they're not quite big enough, but they do look cool. If I get time this weekend I'll try and add antennas, stowage and decals to the 577, but I do need to start packing soon.
