      Awesome stuff Paul the heavy equipment trailer and the compressor truck are stand outs to me, you've done them really well. Is the dozer a GHQ model? :thumb2:

            I always thought that moving an army is a nightmare for logisticians, and your diorama shows it perfectly.
            Great modelling job Paul. :thumb2:

              Thanks guys
              I think not as it's resin Rick , maybe Wespe. I do have a GHQversion, butit is in metal, and I haven't mustered the courage to build it yet.
              The General's biggest job, although some left it entirely to staff Andrea.

                  Because it's a specialist job while they are just... generals. :tongue-out3:

                    Excellent work mate, as already has been said magic in miniture. I did notice though the fith photo (#108) it looks like a wheel hub cover has come adrift.

                      Thanks guys.
                      Sharp eye Scottie, Prolly when I tapped the tire/wheel assy. onto the axle a little too aggressively. Will remedy, thank you.

                        204E Co. A Pltn. supply trucks getting ready for paint. These early ROCOs are pretty needy as they were not very accurate, but had good tires & were pretty cheap. I've used them as the US Army engineering multi-purpose GMCs along with the purpose built dump GMCs to populate my WWII US Combat Engineers.

                          Those are Damn fine Rigs Paul, their only real shortcoming as the front axle needs to be moved a smidge forward to center it under the front fender. Other than that, they are the bomb!!

                            That would have been the best solution Rick, but I've moved the cab & bed back as far as I can to at least alleviate the situation partially.

                              Here's a pic of the 1/87 GHQ dozer. Someday I'll take it on. Great detail.
