          There's always so much to see in your dios Paul. This is brilliant, as usual. As an added bonus I learn a lot of history from your builds.

              Thank you gentlemen. Modeling units like I do, I endeavor to get a feel for how they deploy.

                            Great progress Paul, and I think the second layout does it for me.
                            Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                              Agree with Gary , definitely the second. A lot of work goes into producing something like this and we haven't even any vehicles yet .
                              Bring it on Paul :thumb2:
