Nice Job on the Greyhound!

OH! I like that a lot. Any chance we can see under her skirts? I would love to do one of those conversions and it would be nice to see how you did the insides. I think the M8 is cool.

Nice looking model! The sounds really make the project pop. Great use of the WPL trucks!
