I love the improv and scratch built aspects that you do Chris! I always enjoy a unique model or a different spin. Paint jobs looking real good too!

Nice work on these. Like that “in service look†kinda wish GHQ made all those add on boxes and accessories so you can customize a vehicle.

Nashorn, in a manner GHQ does make the add-on.
I cut up rectangular stems with the hope that they look ‘box-like’.
Some I have done, Mick also did some of these.

My GOSH, Chris. How do you FEED all those folks?

Accommodate ourselves to unissued rations in a domestic abode we utilize.
They are on a bandit run to bring T.P. to the troops ASAP.
PG, hope you like them.
