well, I was going to ask if the figures and the "junk" camewith the kit, but based on comments from others I take it this is not the case. Did you scratch or have left over pieces (real impressed with the tools)laying around?

Very nice work Porkchop...I am just finishing up a FAMO w/trailer for a customer, so I understand how much you put into that kit...impressive.

Is this something we will see at Nordic Con?

And a Vikings fan deep in Green Bay territory...be vigilant, them nasty cheeseheads are everywhere!

blaster76: The tools came out of the Itaelri "Field Workshop" kit and the "German Tank Maintainece" sets. The engines, boxes and engine parts are all from the Verlinden "German Cargo Set," I'm really impressed with the Verlinen Stowage sets I've purchased recently.
Barrels, gas cans, etc, are mainly Tamiya. Chains came from a ship model chain. The boots and jacket in the rear compartment are both from Verlinden...
Jauques: You bet it will be there (along with more stuff). I plan on taking it to Verona, Wisc. in two weeks too....

What can I add here that hasn't already been said by others. Simply fannnnnntastic! I really like all the 'equipment' that you used to fill in the back of the vehicle. In fact, after viewing some of your previous photos I went ahead myself and ordered vp's set to put into mine as well, whenever I can find the time to get around to working on it. The figures were great too, and a real good job on painting them.


If mine will come out just half as good as yours I'll be satisfied.


Keep up the good work!

Take care, sgirty. :-)

Hey Pork that is a really exceelnt Famo. Personnally it is one of my all time favorites axis or allies. It's just a big mean mother. Like everyone else I was very impressed with the wealth of "cargo". A very exacting work done with a lot of patience. Congradulations
