Just think of gardening as research for future ground work on dio bases.  |

LOL Thanks Bill! I have this crazy idea that I want to use real dirt when I make the dio for the Russian 2S7M SPG. |

Nice work mate, that turret detail is very nice. Love the moulded on casting number. And the garden is ok, it doesn't need to be too tidy, I like it to look a bit more 'natural' Except for the part where my veggies grow Keep up the good work chap. Cheers |
