Due to the number of different marks they deserve separate treatment.<br /><br />Cheers<br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835446049246785287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690131777600341387.post-89274351482386101232010-10-23T20:16:50.956+01:002010-10-23T20:16:50.956+01:00Hi Eli

There's also potential for gamer to have say a Mk3 or Mk5 Stuart armed with a 30mm Raden cannon taken from a U/S Scimitar or Fox.<br /><br />During the Malayan Emergency in the 50's Dingo's were given ad-hoc 'dustbin' turrets in REME worshops, Bedford trucks were armoured locally and again, no reason why local steel works and scrap dealers could not be doing this.<br /><br />Cheers<br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835446049246785287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690131777600341387.post-34746093773082463792010-10-23T17:54:59.607+01:002010-10-23T17:54:59.607+01:00Great write-up there Mark.

It also provides you with an ecellent chance to do a little modelling to.<br /><br />I can see turretless vintage Shermans being used as add-hock armored cars or the occasional collectors halftrack and old army jeep. I imagine if the civil war got too desperate that people would be grabbing anythign that might put several inches of steel between them and a bullet.<br /><br />-EliEli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.com
