The stash comes through again! All in 1/48: Verlinden V-100, Hauler BA-64B, Tamiya 7ton Mk.IV.

 

Vehicles that I suspect are outside the rules: Aurora M8, Tamiya Universal Carrier, and antresin MARRS robotic system.

All sound good, welcome to the build.

The Aurora M8 - I couldn't find it by Googling, let me know more

Tamiya Universal Carrier, and antresin MARRS robotic system - sorry they are fully tracked.
I'd really like to work a Universal or a Lloyd carrier into one of these builds, but, a line has to be drawn somewhere, or we'll have tanks sneaking into the build.

{edit}
Found the Aurora M8, sorry no.  Again fully tracked :(
(Nice looking vehicle though)

p.s. OT
Thinking about @dnl42's M8 suggestion ... would there be any interest in a Tractors, Movers and Carriers GB?


So you don't have to google it, here's an image of Aurora's M8 towing a howitzer (1/4" scale - AKA 1/4" to the foot == old speak for 1/48 scale)

Good afternoon Robert

 Please add my name to the list I have the Matchbox M16 Halftrack somewhere in my stash waiting to be built and this would

be the perfect opportunity to do it ..

Best regards

Patrice

Id prefer the 1/35 but would go with anything available. Its one I’ve always wanted to do so good to know there is something.

There’s a Tamiya Hannomag on the stash that might end up towing an AA gun ( also in the stash)

I'd love to see that combination built

I think I'd be up for this but as I have no stash I'd have to buy something 😏.

 

Dave

You'll be welcome Dave.
You'll have plenty of time to get something in, the earliest we hope to run this build is 2022 ... that is, assuming we get into the vote (we need 30 people signed up, you are the 25th) and then beat the cut.
