On the AVP posts I used to chat when I was a member with a guy who was a great model maker is"Alien Projects" who have featured in Wargames magazines. He is also a full size re-enacter for Aliens with a full Colonial Marine uniform. When I said my goodbyes and left I AVP, I doubted that we would have any other contact. However I asked for help with my "Anzac" Centurion as I was sure a radio was tucked amongst ammo boxes and no one else knew, I was suprised when a photo identifing said radio, from one "Graham Green" came to my assistance. I was even more suprised that the friend Graham is now a "Nam" re-enactor, and along with some colleagues they have bought the "Ultimate in Mens Toys" their own M-113`s. plus a Willys Mule and other machines .
So these photos are for my friend J-Tam, "Hope you to one day live your dream".
Must ask for some better "Mule" photos.
Eileen said "makes you wish for the M-38A1", bless her she knows me well. In the 80`s it was all WW2 now it seems the M.V.C.G.`s have grown with the times and Korea, Nam, Falkland`s are popular even "Gulf War". Cheers Geoff.
ANZAC, mate. Unless you're translating it to German, I guess. Although then it would be ANSAK 😄
@Mark Dewis These foreign devils never understand us Aussies!
@Mark Dewis @Paul Mitting "Thanks Guys" old grey matter getting adled, correction done my friends.😉
@Geoff Maybury
That 113 is beautifully restored. Thanks for sharing it.
Although seeing it almost gave me PTSD. Damn I spent a lot of time turning a wrench on one of those back in the day.
@JTam It`s a pleasure "brother" if you have the chance, cheak out a U-tube vidio. Vietnam UK Re-enacters , featuring the "Rolling Thunder Group" at Hopps Farm 2018?. The vehicles and weapons amaze, the combats "Popcorn" but it is for charity. It features the two M113`s and a host of other great vehicles. Cheers Geoff.
I think this is it?

Pretty impressive. Always fun when the .50s start talking.
@JTam Thats it you star, how the "Hell" did you post a copy here , some day prhaps if you have the time you could tell this "Fossil" how it`s done.
Since the subject is "Nam" and M-113`s, here`s the new Rubicon`s coming to a battle board near you soon.
The detail on these kits just blows my mind, all in 1/56th. Nam and Cold War all the way/ Also the Isreal conflict guys, are turning cartwheels.
@Geoff Maybury
Then paste the link onto the forum.
Now I have seen some actually imbedded videos on the forum. I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
@JTam Who says you can`t teach an old dog new tricks, you can with the aid of a really smart young dog. Thank you Tam. Cheers Geoff.
