Ive never heard of any think, but I'll ask a sprayer for you, if there is i would think it would be rather pricey, you could try mixing some satin varnish in with it and testing it, or try a matt varnish to see if it cancels out the gloss in the paint, or once you've painted give it a very light rub down with a rough cloth like a scotchbrite.

very interesting sites.

I just wear my normal clothes when showing the vehicle A, because they cover to many earas and countries, B, i just want to relax and take it all in, C, because the sauce from the burgers always drips onto your clothes.

that sounds like good news,

Jack, yes thats exactly what i ment, you got it spot on, i just think it would encorrage more people onto the site, as some people may mistakenly think "historic oh thatal be ww2 stuff then", so it'll just show how broad a range of MVs the site covers, and more members can only be benifical to the site and hobby.

Just had a thought what about a Historic Military Vehicle register section, so people can list the HMV/HMV's they have, then prospective user's can see just how wide a veriaty of HMV's the site and topic covers.

I'll keep a look out, you could put a wanted ad on milweb as its free.

Hi, fancy meating you here.

That always helps having understanding neigbours, are you keeping the ferret it the same scheme? or changing it, a mate has a turretless ferret and thats in sand and green and it stands out very nicely against the rest of the green MVs, either way i'm sure yours will be good.

Ive noticed that sometimes there are quite a few people on here but no posts, what i mean is that its almost like people wating for a reply to a topic so i was wondering if you had a chat room then people wouldent just be waiting for someone to reply, thats my ramble over, just a thought.

You must have understanding nearby residents or do you do it at your aquatic center, i see you havent started on the ferret yet, you'll have to post some pics of it.

Doin a good job there, what method did you chose, i'm wondering because ive been use a roller and ive found that it gives a much better finish than brush, and you dont get streaks/brush marks or brissles in the paint, also is quicker and uses much less paint and is easier to touch up scratches.

Great work there, you should be very proud of what you lot have achived.

Cor you sure know how to keep busy, thats a very nice collection you have there.

Hi, from what i can remember it was usally anything bigger than a lwb landy that the camo pattern was sprayed, anything smaller it was brush painted, hpoe that helps.

Hi, have you tried http://www.emlra.org it for ex mil landys, it's very good and their very helpfull. hope that helps

Hi, can anyone tell me how much a 4 wheel weapons carrier will tow, and how much a 6 wheeled weapons carrier will tow? Thanks

Hi, its good to see that people from any where joining, enjoy you stay. Tyler.

I find that "Halfords pre 1980 engine oil" works fine i use it in all my HMV's, and it's very good, i find it's well priced and easy to get hold of.

Good find I bet that took a while to find, how come its got two jerry cans?

Too many i suppose, oh by the way i made another HMV discovery in one of the local villages there is a proper old style garage, what i mean is it has the old filler pumps the bell that rings when you drive over the cable and pics of all the classic cars that they have ever serviced or filled up, on the walls hundereds of them litrelly, anyway i went in there to pic up something and they have a WW2 jeep in the back of the garage, aparently its sat their for awhile, one of the workers owns it or something and it was their project (now board with it) but what i mean by that is he was moddifying it eg hard top (bodge), and big off road wheels but from what i could see that was all the mods, i will see if i can get some more info and some pics, still finding out about that champ and them trucks.

The newsletter defently says the 5th, i'll phone them tomorro just to make sure, im not exactly rushed off my feet.

I would totaly agree with that even if all my MVs are landy size, you just can't belive that something so big is either so mechanicaly simple or could tow something so huge.

I'll see if he will let me take some pics of them and the champ, and if i can i will post them on here, I'll find out if he's changed his mind about them aswell.

Ah now i see, theres a farmer in the next village on from me with prototype british ww2 trucks etc in his feild and he's also got a ex sigs champ, i went to his place and inquired about the champ and that, he just said he bought them cos he could, and that he has "only the intension of leaving the trucks in the field", the sad thing is he has no one to pass them onto so who knows what will happen to the after he's gone, theres a K9 sigs truck in a feild 10 miles away also and its easily saveable too.
