CHRIS! Can you say unfettered, out of control growth? That's a mini jungle! Move over! I'm moving in!

Jim, come on. We can watch the Gators and Kyle play ball.
BurtWolf, come on. If you are here with PG I will clear table for some gaming.
That is the Stalingrad Grain Elevator the Cama made.
Nash, it is an AR, I also have my .308 ammo belt, of fake ammo.

I am working on M2 Bradleys, some that need serious refurbishing. They will be in Aussie camo to help hide the crud.

Mike, come on down. Come to Birmingham, AL.
Then I’m gonna have to beat you. Since you showed your parade ground formation and PG suggesting I do the same I have now found 130-140 Abrams in Aussie camo that ‘need’ antennas including a few dozen that ‘need’ commanders weapon station. I thought all of them had the weapons and antennas. I used to be happy and satisfied. Now, angry with You, Redleg, and PG.

Abrams without weapon station or antennas.

I guess Ed won’t be coming over to game as he doesn’t care for my clutter.
Oh well. Game on!

The comparison of my M2 Bradley that I just finished with M1 Abrams that I did over the summer. I have too much of the sand and black. The base doesn’t match up, these had been painted 2 decades ago.

I need to think, make some adjustments.
I am planning two companies of Abrams, one of Bradleys, or some close to that.

Two different base colors. I have 6 of the grayish base color, 8 with the dark green.
Plan to have 2 colmpanies of Abrams, 1 of Bradleys, with a few support vehicles.
