Speaking of the 'rules', the "Any country, any markings"... so it doesn't have to historically correct, it could be a special gift to a country with their markings?



No problem, any country, any marking, a gift.

@Sal

Another change, no problem Sal on the 11th we will be here !!
But I have to agree with Jeff, despite carrying soldiers, it's an armoured railcar... not an APC/AFV

@Brian
jump in, no problem !

Thanks John! Don't worry, I have drool guard. (works great)

Anyway, I may not create masterpieces (for which comes most of the drooling) but at least I recognize a modelers effort.

Especially if I'm the Campaign Leader.

Well, to be perfectly honest, to divulge or not to divulge.

I have so many things wrong with my health right now AND with an upcoming surgery date in August to correct a thyroid issue... it would make you grateful for all of what you have.

Modeling is an escape for me, and I hope John doesn't mind me going a bit off topic here, but it does allow me to escape those problems if for just a brief moment, it's worth it.

Gary and Jeff, you bunch of old farts,I don't feel so bad now I'm 35 and my oldest starts school in 3 weeks, in fact we just got back today from updating his shots.

Can't wait to start building, not only do I a VAB 4x4 to build, but also have an accurate armour M114. Also waiting for my Y-modelle Dingo 2 to arrive in the mail. So many choices to make

So what are you trying to tell us? He's a Collie or a Shepard? Updating his shots sounds like he's ready to be boarded up!

Yeah... you WERE my new BFF but after that remark! I remember being 35... boy that is such an age to be so naive!

Glad I grew-up!
