Work....Gotta Love it.

This is what I do...I work on these off an on when I have the time to get up there.
The first pic is an M8 Armored Car and an M3A1 Light Stuart Tank, circa 1942

Below is a US Made, T16 or what the Brits call a Bren Gun Carrier and the business end of another M8.

Here is that M8

An M2A1 HalfTrack

One of 5 Stuarts that are in the family.

And by July, we should have an M4A3 Sherman in here! Here is a video playlist I taped from a recent trip a veteran stopped by who actually drove an M3A1 in the 3rd Marines! http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A6B9374E46455D44

Enjoy the pics!

Ah, a M8! That is what we're working on at the museum right now. You would love the museum- an acre of military vehicles.

I'll see if I can get up there, it would be a great thing to see, have you ever gone to the Chino Planes of Fame Airshow? that M8 in the picture is one of 4 there another one we named Emma down here near me. M8s are beautiful arent they?

 

[JennyLou]

yes, they are. I've never been to the airshow.

Well Geeez you have to now!!! The CHG is there every year to hold a "mock" reenactment for the public. Its a great event as is MTH. Both are in Chino conveniently. lol

 

[JennyLou]
