Re: TORRO M16 Halftrack
I always admire the tank builders.... They seem to have a great attention to detail.
I just don't have that kind of patience but love to look at the build....

Re: Michigan T-24 project
Thanks Frizzen....
It's getting there the cab detail isn't super great but it makes it look sort of complete
