  1. Hi and thanks for dropping by – may I introduce you to my first ever 1/72 AFV. It’s the International Harvester M5 Halftrack – or should that be half track? The kit is from the PLASTIC SOLDIER COMPANY and as some of you probably know – it’s really designed for wargamers rather than 'serious' modellers – but hey - you get 3 in the box – so how could an amateur resist… There isn’t really any ‘after-market’ for these bad boys, so it‘s straight out of the box. The only messing around I did, as my skills are somewhat limited, was to add a bridge weight disc with a 3mm piece of plastic. Also the ‘windows’ were solid – so I filed them out and it came with a ‘choice of 50 calibre machine guns – so I ‘up gunned’ it and used both. Oh – and the headlights were just plastic stumps – so I drilled a couple of small pits and put some chrome paint in. The paint is Vallejo Model Air and the dusty look comes from Flory washes – all finished off with Winsor and Newton matt varnish. Now no one is going to mistake this for your normal 1/35 fare - but just for scale - and because it is so cheesy - let's start with a 'penny shot'... OK - so here is the 'walkaround'... I should point out that I built this as a ‘mojo restorer’ and it certainly did its job – if you fancy taking a look at the fun and games along the way – the WIP is here… …as always any constructive comments are most welcome – it’s what the forum is all about. ...and don't forget - if you like it – then you can ‘like it’ with the buttons over there > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks for looking - Steve
