We treat these diecasts as light trucks under CD3. Hunting for diecasts suitable for trucks and technicals is something I am always doing. The trucks Frank used here still occasionally appear as part of Police and Fire sets sold in Countdown supermarkets here in Christchurch.Uncle Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975932783227453858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-3163232866262969352012-02-15T13:58:05.419+13:002012-02-15T13:58:05.419+13:00Holy Cow, blooming nice set up.

My production ended after one tree, and like yourself I will not be repeating it!<br /><br />What make are those diecast M525 US trucks, the shape of them is spot on, with a wheel swap they would be just what I am looking for.<br /><br />More please!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666481879639671282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-29094648749966082912012-02-15T13:48:19.789+13:002012-02-15T13:48:19.789+13:00It looks like a great battle took place, can't...It looks like a great battle took place, can't wait to see the rest of it.

The offcuts went everywhere - I was finding them for days afterward, despite the intensive vacuuming undertaken to solve the problem.

Methought red crescents might have been more likely (sorry -having a Sheldon Cooper moment, here).<br /><br />I do believe, though, that after this action, both the HNG and the NOD forces will be find their military inventories sharply diminished. Not a bad generating circumstance for other factions to gain momentum...<br /><br />Looking forward to your next posting, Brian -<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-79956714433331479862012-02-15T07:55:53.371+13:002012-02-15T07:55:53.371+13:00I Like the trees, can imagine the mess, you have t...I Like the trees, can imagine the mess, you have to cut-back to the short brown ones don't you?
