Wow very Cool Rex!!! Great to see you have let some things go to stay with us longer!!! I am working on the weight thing as well. I was at 305 and now I ma done to 265 and falling. Just losing 40 pounds has allowed me to walk at least 2 miles a day for exercise without pain. My target is 200 by the end of the year!!!

More power to you !!! A dozen years ago my Guinness Book of Records weight was 313 lbs. Life is better now that I am down to 180 !!!!

Rex,

Where did you source your decals for the DW? The only option I see is to scan and enlarge a set from the 1/35 model.

Jeff ---- I had that decal sheet for many years and did a Google search just for fun. I typed in "Verlinden decal sheet 866" and got this ----- IT"S STILL AVAILABLE ----- along with a bunch of other misc. decal sheets in various scales. Ebay has them too.

Rex Awesome job on the M25! I've wanted one for years too. The accurate tires are the real challenge. The Bruder ones don't look bad. I was going to use the Tamiya Globeliner or Kinghauler as the base tractor for RC. I was planning to cast (Rubber Urethane) the tires, but got interested in 1/6 scale more.

I think your M25 + trailer is much better than 15 feet standoff scale! Simply Superb.

Perhaps I will get one done by the time i'm 79 LOL (50 now). Happy Birthday - and many more. Enjoyed your scratch build immensely.

Once again my friend you've done it. I get real fricken tired of saying "good job" to you but oh well. Did'nt Paul Felsch build something like this with an operating winch, and auto deploying ramps, etc. About 10 years ago. Not meant to take away from your outstanding efforts just a mind flash from a fellow old guy. OK good job mumble, mumble

Howdy fellow old guy ----Ya ---- Paul did build a running and fully operational Dragon Wagon out of a Tamiya King Hauler I sold him and he built a trailer out of brass, but I don't know how far he ever got with it beyond the R/C gear he loaded on it. It was on a shelf for a long time and I offered to buy it but he wouldn't sell. Then Bruder came out with their MAN cab and trailer so I went with that. Mumble mumble back to you too buddy.
