For example, a lot of the trucks have started life as cheap 'toys' (often found in the sale bins in toy shops and supermarkets). A coat of paint, a bit of weathering, and the addition of some makings ... <i>et voila</i> a new generic military truck has been added to your fleet of trucks!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-69647010255283594302012-05-24T18:17:07.776+01:002012-05-24T18:17:07.776+01:00Wow..Really?
