Re: Some new creations.
As usual, I love your work. I do have a question, though. Would the US Army ever use a Unimog? I know the German military did.

Re: Setting up my Superfast models
Some very fine models! I have two of those Timex display cases. I cut heavy colored paper for each shelf to cover the openings so the cars wheels wouldn't fall through.

I hope to get all the variations of it that I can. I know, however that I will not be able to get all the B...
