Nice logistics, Chris. Wish I had your budget.

Your modified Sheridan needs a bigger gun. That was the whole reason for creating the M551 - having a recon vehicle that could kill a tank. Give it a BMP-T turret, for instance. Or a CV90-40 turret. I would suggest the CV90-105 turret, but I don't think the hull would take the recoil stress. There was a test of the 76mm gun from the M41 that didn't work out. The chassis was fast and maneuverable, so it might be still useful with th right ordnance.

That someone was me. I run 1/285th Scale Wargaming and Modeling Group. I also created my own ammo pallets for an Australian Arty Unit I did for a mate in Scotland.

Great job Chris, nice pics. I cut the sides down on one of the new Rheinmetal Man trucks and made a flatbed out of it. Then bought a large container and used that for a load. Also made a load out of four towed generators by cutting the trailer out around it. Don't toss the trailer wheels out. Flip them upside down so the fenders are on the bottom and they make nice spare tires for some of your Hummers, etc. Lol.

Intruder, those are great ideas. Do you have pictures to post, I would love to see them.

Thanks Chris. .I'm in the middle of painting them and a bunch of others. But my biggest problem is that I'm not very tech savvy and have never figured out how to post pictures on here, lol. I've tried a couple of times but never got it to work. I'll be 70 in March and you know what they say about old dogs. With the sides cut down on the RM truck the big container that GHQ sells fits perfectly. It has skids molded on the bottom of it and it is the same width as the truck. I glued the trailer wheels on to the back of the Hummers cabs on the open back Hummers that came with the generator trailers but they could be used on many small trucks I think. I
