The Dollie truck is completely finished. I have the tie downs and chains in place. The trailer is cleaner than the truck because it was a new trailer in the photo that I used for Refs. I built the base out of Evergreen plastic stock. All the cargo is scratch built along with the entire tailer(sans wheels). The truck is a modified AFV Club M-35 A1/Italeri M-925 series truck kits highly kit bashed. The rest of the photos are p[osted here https://armorama.kitmaker.net/photos/showgallery.php?cat=12964&ppuser=1742

Animal, you've done it again!
Beaut model, not just the excellent scratchbuilding of the trailer & dolly but the paintjob, base etc too.

Great job Animal. What did you use for the tie downs?



First off thanks for the kind words as always. This old man appreciates them for sure.

The tie downs are made of 1.5 MM drafting tape and Evergreen plastic stock.
