  Hey Mike I thought you might get a kick out of this

 This is one of my sons video games. In the last battle of the game you get one of these bad boys to attack a VC strong hold.

 Funny looking running gear thoughSurprise

Same here! I'll definitely be there - hopefully Mia will be coming as well. We'll see what her work schedule looks like when the end of September gets a bit closer.

Egads! I need to finish some builds before then! Surprise

Great build Redleg, on my build after looking at many of the real 1:1 shots in Nam, it looked like they left the 30cal MG sheild off, perhaps for better vision? I really like the added small detail of the cables etc on the 50cals. Good thinking to make a mould and produce the spare track. would you be able to supply me one ? paypal. :)

Ahhh.... the oldie returns.

Shell - Thanks

Ice - Unfortunately, I ditched the mold a while ago, it was only made as a temporary mold. Was not expecting to make many. Otherwise I hope it has give you some ideas
