Thanks Jeff !!!
And for the M-ATV too ...
I was about to get those Italeri Gun Trucks, so I chose the new Meng Tiger and some other Russian stuff instead.
I know I spoiled myself.. with 3 ( or 4) shopping sprees a year I can get it under control.. Older & Wiser

Damn need to get the pics uploaded, but one of my potential builds is the US armoured truck John has. So if you build that John I will go with my other build, a BIG shiny Peterbilt 1/24

Actually, the Panda kit is my Christmas present. I'm easy to buy for. I plan on doing some serious upgrading to the kit. I found a photo of one done up in digi camo. I managed to get a copy of it by digital deviousness.

Had again a closer look at my stash and can now persent what I´m aiming for:
I will either use a Henschel 33D or a Ford V3000S (haven´t decided yet... can you hep?
) as a base for Tamiyas Field Kitchen. I´m planing to do a little scene, simmilar to the one in the picture... hope thats extreme enough

Does the kit have to be a plastic kit or can i start with a resin kit. I was thinking of starting with an American Industrial Truck B60 series Mack truck and engine kits. If so I'm in.
Modelling is something we never perfect. We should never quit learning new tricks and be willing to share what we have learned on our own.

There is NO material restriction and your choice is perfect!

Looks as though I will just get some resin wheels for my Maz-543 (probably cheaper than what I have my eyes on anyway) and decide whether to build the Scud on it or not.
Not very
"EXTREME" I know but I have a lot more going than I care to admit.

Hi,
I will build a 1:24 scale Ford F-350 Duallie with larger Resin-wheels and all appropriate accessory for my Zombie Hunter diorama, where it should replace the Chevy Escalade, where the weathering process did not end well.
Maybe some extra armory, dozer blade, whatever is needed to enhance survivability
Cheers

Hi Fabian which type? I'm rather partial to Augustiner Hell
.
And I'm also looking forward seeing your catering wagen

Hi Paul,
you´ve got the right taste
I had indeed an Augustiner...
IMHO one of the best beers around, but my "the best beer" (if something like this can exsit
) is "Kreuzbergbier", comming from a small cloister-brewery not far from where I live... people say, it´s so good that the only can sell in in kegs
Well, my build will also get interresting for me... I´ve got the two kits (Revell 33D and the field kitchen #35247) some other figure kits, lots of ideas.... but no real plan

Hey Fabian, maybe you could do a mobile "Brathähnchen" wagen at the Oktoberfest 40 something, with a couple of barrels of Augustiner, Kreuzberg and Kloster Scheyern.
Prost

wouldn´t be a that bad idea... but my choice of figures would be bit a problematic then... some of them wear Italian submariners uniforms... exlusively used by the Panzerdivision "Hitlerjugend" in Summer ´44
Product here on Armorama I just couldn´t resist, the guy with the Harmonicum got me...
But adding one or two beer kegs sound good... must be a pre D-Day setting then
