Fantastic Job there Mark just fantastic.
Makes me take notice when if I look at my stock of plastic strip and stock all I see is well Plastic strip and stock.
And you see an engine gees I need to move outside the box.
Going to get better in 1/6 scale here now we have 3 at it.
Seem to of lost Torchy somewhere.
Next the Puppchen and my first ever white finish.
Keep the pics coming I should have this thing done by Thursday.
Need to find a way to make pine needles have a few ideas but need about 1000 of them.
What we need is a 1/6 scale campaign.
Say one of Dragon's lower price kits so anybody could get one.
Fast build say that 75 MM recoilless they just came out with.
Like about $16.00
Any ideas?
Might get more involved and well more buying makes the company make more.
An 88 MM would be killer in this scale in plastic as Caltek does one but at 50 pounds quite a bit to ship.

Good luck with the Puppchen and the white finish. I never have any luck with white paint jobs. I will have to think about a campaign build, I think the jeep is going to keep me plenty busy for a while.

Thanks Mark will give it the old try.
Well the end of the jeep pics maybe a helmet down the road or something.
Been looking at this great Thomson.
The pine needles also.
But really the construction is done,started the Puppchen.
Might add a figure to that one.
A big figure indeed.

Very nice Jeff, it turned out great. I started gluing some parts on my jeep, but not much done yet.

Well got that pesky back on.
Also got some straps in case some are needed.
More paint.
Now need to start a base.
Big long base.
Only thing is I think Dragon has the rear seat to far forward,hard to make and apply the two hooks that hold up the rear part of the back seat.
Might have to move it back a tad.
I did decide to go with the Kit tow pintle and save a few bucks even though John's would be way better,but still need the $50.00 for the 50 cal gun cradle and ammo tray.
where did you get the webbing?
and mount? thanks
