Below is a pic of a couple of U.S. troops that stumbled upon some interesting war booty. :rolleyes: They can't quite figure out what it is they just captured.



This is just the start of some of the fun I have planned for the jeep I built and the U.S. Army staff car I am building right now.

That is just awesome.

Kinda got a similar idea but need to find an US Army truck and trailer in 72nd (thought of the Dragon Wagon but don't think they would have been driving around New Mexico in 1947.

I understand your characters being puzzled... :unsure: :lol: :blink: ;D

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks philp, Tophe, and NARSES2!

When my U.S. Army staff car is finished I will dig out some of my other Luft'46 stuff and get more of these 'war booty' type of pics. The staff car might be finished later today.

One thing that I really need to do is clean off my work table...its a big mess and is starting to look like something you see on one of those ''Hoarders'' shows you see on TV so my model building will stop for a short time.

I like it! Its amazing how just a couple of figures can convey so much  :cheers:

Mmm, why not? The US Army used the Dragon-Wagon into the 50s.

I was thinking of doing something similar in 1/35th (due to the figures available) scale with several "Men in Black" and a figure in a suit shaking hands with an alien figure in front of some vehicle with the Presidential seal upon it.  I was going to call it "Paranoia".

Thanks lancer,
Expect to see a few more pics of this ''Raiders of the Reich'' theme, my new U.S. Army staff car will be featured in some of them.
