Hello to one and all
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, February 16, 2003 5:10 PM
Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I currently am into HO scale railroads, but with crossover into HO armor. I am putting together a 15-17 HO flat car military load train and loving every minute of it. I get Finescale Modeler every month and like what I see in every issue.

Yes, the armor I am using is mostly Roco, with a few Trident LAVs (Armored Recovery and 20mm Delco Turreted variants) thrown in for good measure. The detail of the Rocos are VERY good. I am going that one step further and modifying anything that I can. For example, the Canadian version of the Jeep is the VW Ilitis, and I have soldered together a bush bar for the front, complete with mesh screens for the headlights. As for the 6x6 trucks, I have pictures that show an additional tarp structure on top of the roof ( I think this is to cover the hole in the passenger side for the 50cal ring on top) and I have modeled these by creating my own tarp out of Kleenex (3-ply) and a 50/50 water and white glue mixture. If anyone is interested in the Roco armor, I have been told that a sale is coming up soon. I'll post when it comes around.
