    Very nice indeed Gavin, this build has brought back some memories to me.
    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

        Nice (and rarely seen) model Gavin. And thanks for the book selection. I'm always receptive to books about military vehicles and I hadn't seen these.

          Started working on my "Klein Boet - Ou Boet" display.
          For the uninitiated, that is "Baby Brother - Older Brother".

          This play on words highlights the obvious size difference between the new generation armoured car and that of the older post WW2 designed armoured car.

          Anyway, till the next update.

                I always start these post with something like 'Armour, not something I'm too familiar with' BUT, I can still see a great build. These really look the part. Splendid result.

                  Gavin,
                  They look fantastic side by side, top job on both vehicles.
