Who knows.
The sign on the building was had painted and the bricks are card chads stuck down painted and mortared.

Was the sign name inspired by the recent cold weather?
I hope my next is always better

I am unsure about the building, it appears a bit too large and dwarfs the Dodge, so I may go with something like this.

Yes I agree - everything in proportion as the saying goes.  You could use the building as part of a larger diorama with other models in the futur  ::) ::) ::)

Started this Dragon kit on the modelling day'
Again 1:35 scale and an M3 Gun Motor Carriage with a 75mm gun.
A better tank destroyer than the M6, but still not fully tracked like the later M10.
The driver was with the kit, the other crew members are from the Tamiya M3A2 Half track kit.

I wouldn't like to be the driver with that thing over my head. Great Dave.

I also built the Tamiya Half track.
I just need to add an aerial and come up with a display base for the two half tracks.

The last photo was for inspiration.

Hi Zak,
Nice work. The picture certainly gives a start point for inspiration, I'm sure you will have enough M3 Half tracks completed.
Cheers,
Kevin
I hope my next is always better
