Added some timbers to protect the tank car.  Made the Land Rover a short wheelbase version.

Time to get cracking!  Helo next.  Significant surgery required to blend the 1/72 Alouette and the 1/87 MBB 105 into the right shape and scale.  The 1/72 Alouette was just to large.

Tail boom on.

I'd like to put some of mine into dioramas, but I'm barely finding time to build 'em at the moment.... :banghead:

HO scale is a "secret passion" with me--I have done dozens of custom vehicles

(Example-- http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,26694.0.html )

for my brother's erstwhile train layout (never built, but always thought-of), so I do have an appreciation for fine HO work.
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!
