Well Fred mate ya know if it's got tracks then I'm automatically going to like it and yep...this is very cool man ..lovely weathering and high lights man 

Noice! 
Yeah, the cab is a good, stylish design.

Thanks folks.

Motor should still work.  Although I am a little concerned about damaging something if I run it.
But I can always repair it I suppose.
I might give it a run across the shed floor.

I can see the Yanks doing this with an M1 and a load of Budweiser.

The Coca-Cola Wars or the Pepsi Navy spring to mind too.

Budweiser? You'll only annoy them with that...

Standing well back to avoid the incoming... 

One of my worst hangovers was after a night spent drinking Budweiser in Manhattan.  Filthy stuff chock full of chemicals.

Yup I had a really nasty hangover, plus other side effects, from a night on Budweiser when I was in the States back in the 80's. At the time it was all the bar sold beer wise so I didn't visit that bar again and have never touched the stuff since.

I switched to drinking vodka for the rest of that trip.  Problem solved.

I found the beer to be perfectly acceptable in Boston and when in Hawai'i drank mostly cocktails by the pool.

I switched to G&T a lot of the time, but as you say the beer in other cities I visited was fine.

If I understand correctly each state has different laws relating to what can be used to make beer.  NY allowed all sorts of crap to be included and thoughtfully required them to be listed on the label.

Wasn't aware of that. Would explain a lot

Work has recommenced on this.
I have made some Hazmat signs for the Big Silver Tank which was the last thing I wanted to add to it other than a touch more weathering.
I then found some curtains for the camper body, painted the window frames, made a front door, painted the hot tub control panel, and attached sheets of ply to the roof so it can be walked about on.

Construction on the camper body was completed today with stretched sprue railings around the deck and up both sets of stairs.
Some of the railings are a bit not straight but we'll put that down to a vodka soaked general falling against them.

 

Picked this up today to contemplate weathering for the camper body and discovered one of the rubber tracks has let go.
They were stretched tight over the wheels to ensure traction and the kit is fairly old so I probably shouldn't be surprised.
I've glued it to the tops of the front and rear wheels which is hidden by the bodywork.  It looks OK but obviously will no longer be motorised.
Shame.
