Good acquisition! I'm always on the look out for GHQ lots, but there just isn't the second hand market here

The acquisition was all GHQ modern vehicles. Barrels bent, some to the point almost 100% broke-off, only 85% or so… saved it with glue.
These older Abrams I painted in MERDC. One barrel needed help in this group.
The two Roland’s were in the box, but everything else was US or Russian. A couple of M548, which I put with the Frisbee mine layer.
These two 8 inch, M110 are allocated to the Commonwealth to be put with 4 others.
BMP-2 and T-72
20 M-2 Bradleys, smeared glue on bottom of the gun barrels after straightening them out. These will be painted
In Chris Cam for the Commonwealth.

The M-2 Bradleys have been painted in Chris Cam.
Need to hit the soft-top canvas with a different color.

Mike, I remember you like the god of the battlefield. Thank you.
Here are some M60A1 turrets I received a few years ago, oh my, what do I do?
I cut the barrels down to the light to create a FLAT surface spot to attach the styrene. The barrel tubes are too long as of now.
Cut barrel to desired length. Paint vehicle. Then put netting over gun barrel.
Putt netting on turret rear.
Now I use Cheese Cloth for my netting, on the left.
