So I keep on making progress with the RG-31, though sometime it is painfully slow. But it finally seems coming to a presentable shape – wheels were painted and weathered (though this […]
RG-31 – We’re getting there…
Ferret Scout Car walkaround
It’s been few weeks from the Oshawa AMPS show in the summer, so I will try to catch up and post all the pictures and videos I still have from this event. […]
