In 1991, I was preparing to run a demo
game at Cangames 91 in Ottawa and I desperately needed more universal carriers
for a small recce force in my scenario, "3rd Canadian Division at Falaise".
ESCI kits were available, but relatively expensive and being the eternal
cheap bugger, I figured these would be easy. They weren't that hard
and were my first attempt at scratch building anything. |
 The
three scratch built vehicles are shown here with the Airfix kit that I
based them all on in the upper left of this picture. |
 Various
accouterments were scavenged from my bits box for individual vehicles. |
 The
wheels are melted plastic pressed out to create a disk and the tracks are
simply strips of plastic card. I added skirts to hide the detail
of the running gear I could not do at the time. |
