Greeting all,

Work goes on :-) :-)

These are the AA crates with the base coat and first wash. Of the 12 crates 9 can be modelled with the top off. When I figure out what to 'store' in a couple I'll leave the lid off to display the contents The figures give an idea of the scale of these babies.




Cheers

Al

Alan, I can imagine what the sailor on the left is thinking. The crates are looking good.

What are in those crates? Jeeps?
I remember reading an article some 20 years ago about the myth that you could still find some jeeps in crates where the Americans left them -Normandy or elsewhere -and that the lucky finder just had to open the crate and mount the wheels basically
nice looking crates anyway!
