Recently came across photos of abandoned Russian military vehicles, so in the Chernobyl area, must admit quite liked the way the forest had started to reclaim them, and the very worn and battered look of the vehicles. So when I saw ICM had released an 'Afghanistan convoy set in 72nd scale' thought that may be the way to go. Plan on doing two of the trucks, the 3rd truck in the set, may chop the cab up etc for spare doors/bonnet to fill in the rear bed of the flat bed. Also wanted to make the trucks with deflated tyres, unfortunately no one does them, so had a go at making my own, a set cast this afternoon, still need more work, a bit more filling around the bulged and normal tyre, treads to cut in etc, but at least its a start.    |

Cheers mate, just thinking about it, by the time I build up the vegetation etc around the wheels the side tread may not be visible :-) Will possibly take me years to complete :-)
