    Shooting with Rapco- Tips?

    I painted my M35 Gasser in 2008. Used Gillispie thinned 4-1 with Xylene. VERY easy and forgiving and cheap in price. I've done a lot of Acrylic Urethane base/clear in my body shop over the years and while that is VERY durable, I have been pleased with this "old tech" product as well. Difference...

    M1 Searchlight Trailer, G221, info and restoration to 'usable'

    Hello, I too have a trailer of this style I bought years ago to go with my M7 Gen Set. Originally thought this was an M7 but after looking close over the years, I don't think this is. Have yet to decide which model this one is. My hitch frame is hinged to facilitate the tilt mode and does not...

    New owner in Arizona.

    Welcome to the site from Salmon River Country. It's actually a good thing to start out kinda rough getting that first one home. One wouldn't want to get spoiled with the first one. Good training for all the others you'll be dragging home. Oh, yes---there WILL be others, LOL!!

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    A few years ago I spoke with a young lady (high school) that was visiting with family about my "collection" on the place. I explained I had a solid interest in history and mostly WWII history since my Dad and various Uncles had been there, done that. She thought for a minute with a puzzled...

    What am I looking at? AMPHIBIAN based on M274A1 Mule

    hhmmm, must have floated and boated--looks like boat registration marks on side. A lot of work went into that, good work by the looks of it. Wow, that does look like fun. You certainly would be the only one on the block with one------

    Any help identifying this small articulated vehicle?

    Looking at the coot articulated over the rock just reminded me about one thing I seem to remember about those machines. Seems like where the front half and back half came together was a potential pinch point for hands/fingers if you didn't keep clear.
