Not really pictures on my HT, but you might like them anyway.

In the picture is Andy. At 70 he's still working painting vehicles. He has lettered all my Semi's and MV's.

All of the murals are hand painted with a brush.

Tripod mounts. Tinman is based out of the Detroit area and is a friend of Jesse Browning (Bad check) and Ron Leatherman (Princess).

Which style of tripod is that for? The .30cal M2 tripod or the 1917 tripod? I ordered some brackets from Al Stiefel, and I want to make sure I asked for the right ones.

Here's a little stealth art on my track. Same paint as the camo job, and fits the name of course.

I see the face of an American Indian rather than a wasp..................no clue what it relates to though.

Agreed, two pig tails and a feather.

Might have a cigar and it looks like CHIEF under the image.

 Interesting vehicle, most likely a field modification,looks like the turret from a bomber on a M-2! Some of the anti aircraft half-tracks were called wasp, probably because of their sting! I had a good friend that was going to paint a picture of "Lace" on my half-track, but he retired and moved to Florida! I've been trying to find one of those dry transfers of her but haven't been able too, there is a guy on ebay that does a lot of different pin ups,I bought one i was going to put on my G-506 open cab project.
