Hi all,
Built my 2nd goat this week.Added the passenger gunner.I used another left arm to the driver from my parts box so he wouldn't be identical to the first.The passenger is a real mix of my box I labelled body parts.Making him fit took as much time as the Goat was to build.Tons of shaving.My Dremel earned it's money just on this.So after him,I thought I would scratch a cover on the trailer rather than AM kits.So far so good. First was the support bars from floral wire. This is great wire because it has a plastic coating. Keep in mind for engines.etc.Then I drilled small holes in the trailer to support them and cut to correct height. Next is adding the cover. Using facial tissue I folded it in half and cut to approximate size. Then a light spray of water to get it to form on the supports.Finally a mix of white glue and water only on the top to harden a bit. That way it can be still lifted to paint the interior.Sorry for the bad photos try again tomorrow.

"Two goats and a mutt"? Sounds like the opening line for a rather questionable joke!

Ya I can see it Biggles.
2 goats and a mutt walk into a bar and 1 says???? .
Hey Sean, they have been on the back burner for a little bit. Need to add the guards to the wheel wells and finish the figures. Intend to do a dio of a photo I've seen in Afghanistan with the quads crossing a river and picking up a wounded gunner.

Two Goats and a Mutt go out for a drink. The Two Goats walk into the bar, the Mutt ducks.
