    I'm so sorry to hear of Tomo's death. I followed this blog with great interest and am amazed at his ability to get things done. He and his comments will be sorely missed. Bosun Al aka Al Fisher

    So sorry to hear about the fire, Toby. I cannot imagine starting out again, but you and your family will survive. Anyone who can put so much energy into restoring the beautiful vehicles shown in this forum certainly will recover, hopefully much quicker you could restore a vehicle. By chance was yours one of the thousands of homes lost in the current California wildfires? The image of such homes is always with us here; a sad one indeed. Barbara and I are very proud of our son, a battalion chief here in San Diego, who is on one of the fires as I write this Bosun Al

    Incidently, the recent (September 2020) issue of Who Do You Think You Are UK) has a short article about QAINS. Bosun Al

    Anyone have a source for old Airfix Magazine, hopefully in digital format? I've about 130 issues in PDF format and am greedily looking for more! Bosun Al

    Thanks

    Just wanted to thanks all of you for posting during the COVID-19 fandango. It's a great diversion for those of us who are sequestered at home. Bosun Al

    I really appreciate everyone on the HTMF site for sharing their photos, techniques, and comments on the forum. They're a real eye opener to those of us who have never had the experience of reconstructing anything -- never mind a vehicle. The added historical aspect itself is a huge plus. Bosun Al

    Is anyone aware of a cummulative index for Classic Military Vehicle magazine? I have roughly a hundred issues and find it difficult to search for a particuar article. Any suggestions welcome . . . Bosun Al

    Does anyone know if the Thornycroft monthly circular (staff magazine) archives are available online? Bosun Al

    I found a copy of Munitions of War, BSA and Daimler on-line at the University of Calgary Library. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to download the entire book, but could read it page-by-page. Thus I was able to copy about 30 pages of material on Thornycroft vehicles by copying one page at a time. This is not as tedious as it sounds and took me only about 15 minutes. http://contentdm.ucalgary.ca/digital/collection/cmh/id/106331 Bosun Al

    I'm curious . . . you said you made this from Shapeways. Was it something they produce as a kit or is it one-of-a-kind 3d model? If the latter, dis you supply drawings to them or do you have a suitable 3-D system at home? Would you supply us with additional details including process, time, cost, et cetera. You've showed us some wonderful models and much impressed . . . and more than a bit envious of your work! Bosun Al

    Wonderful to see these works in progress! I'm constantly amazed at the skills and knowledge that the craftsmen on HMVF display on a regular basis. Al

    Can you tell me more about the cost and availability of this volume? Bosun Al

    Tpmo . . . Can you enlighten us in the meaniung of DSC and ASP? Thanks! It certainly would be a great addition to the site if someone could provide us of unit insignia for this period! Al

    I don't know what model the attached plans are, but perhaps it's a start . . . Bosub Al

    Thanks for your rapid reply! As the old saying goes: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." As an occassional truck modeller, I'm always on the lookout for drawings and dimensions. Al
  22. BosunAl
    If your Benx Gannenau manual has three-dimensional drawings of the truck, could you share them with us? Al

    Looks like all you have to do now is to find enough goodies to fill the van! 'Tis a pleasure to watch your progress! Al
