the picture that caused this project

I started by removing most of the body.

I then plugged some holes with styrene scrap

I spent most of my time trying to get sandbags to fit.

I gave up, marked the location of the bags and made "filler" bags from milli-putty

I made rear box out of styrene. Now ready for paint

Well that sure didn't take long!
Love those sand bags. Great job!

Doesn't that guy in back look a bit like Adam Sandler?

Apologies at the attempted humor, that is some incredible work!

That this is huge. See, if it were me & I was in the IDF, I would have gotten busted down in rank were I crewing this, because when we were patrolling, I would be playing that American Ice Cream Truck music.
