log carrier was made from two Oshkosh fuel tankers, flat bed scratch built.
Cats were my first try at taxidermy.....but they somehow turned out looking dead!

Just kidding of course but they are all gone though.....every one of them from glorious ripe old age.
We now have a new kitty she's 10 years old but full of kittenish life, and black as the ace of spades.
My son found her while fishing, tiny alone and cold, brought her home, the rest is history.
She has never been outside, a purely indoor kitty.
The cats pictured were purely outdoor barn cats.....I built them a heated 'igloo' for winters
Mamma is in the middle with her two babies Marshmello and Tigger.

Love the weathering effects
You certainly have mastered the art of rusty/dirty/muddy things!

Thanks Brian, it's been so long I can't be sure, early 90s I think.

No worries, I have a British 'Stuart' in the stash.

And also read about it last summer in this great book following an American tank company from early training through campaigns, along with the tanks they were issued along the way.
