US Heavy Lifting

A couple of specials which are more 'eye candy' than useful on the table.  But I like this stuff because 1) they are different and 2) they are BIG. 

First up is a Cromwell models Dragon Wagon. It was a beautiful resin kit that went together well.  I got it second hand (but unmade) and a few bits were missign or broken so some (minor) scratchbuilding was required to repair it.



Next up is a Retrokit Ward La France wrecker.  Quite a lot of work to put together - but very well cast and I think makes up a beautiful and different model.  Adding the thread for the cables is always difficult - especially to get it lookign taught.

    Very nice modeling, Sir. "Eye candy" is handy for using as cover...the more the better!

      Thanks Jay - things have gone to sh*t if these are far enough forward to be needed for cover. I just like looking at them on the table.

      Thanks Phil - took a while - but most of the time was in construction.
