As always Paul a really impressive dio. This scale allows so much in the available space and you are the master of the scale.
Great stuff.

Lovely stuff indeed Paul! I keep cajoling the Missus to vacate the garage space so that I can replicate some of your dioramas in 1/35th - so far, nothing except the basilisk stare and vague muttered obscenities! I'm not a betting man but, if I was, then I'd put my money in South Sea Bubble Investments.co.skegness

Thank you gentlemen.
The ROCO 3/4 ton "ambos" were not actually WC-54 versions, but more like poor versions of WC-64s. I tried to modify them w/pioneer tool sets on the right side & spare tires mounted on the left sides but that's as far as I went.
Steve, I took over the laundry chores in exchange for the Man Cave and Cave Annex.

I have the majority of the garages Paul but I can imagine a large-scale rear echelon (with all the bells and whistles) at 1/35 scale utilising the remainder! The dio that keeps on giving! My bargaining power is greatly reduced as I am the de facto house husband whilst 'er indoors works steadily towards retirement! At that point I shall 'demand' she empties the majority of her knitting stash to make more room for my stash - shortly thereafter I suspect I may make an abrupt exit from the forum though!
Steve
Leave your stash to me in your will!

Probably is Paul, but all available 'dislikes' are already taken up by yarn and knitting-related ephemera! I'm now under orders to change the garden layout so 'hope springs eternal! I may finish up excavating a huge underground model-making Paradise if I can just get rid of the soil discreetly(I watched 'The Great Escape' recently and have some great ideas as a result!)

If you need to get rid of the soil you could always use the “Porridge“ strategy…..dig out another hole and put the soil down there…..Probably is Paul, but all available 'dislikes' are already taken up by yarn and knitting-related ephemera!

Hah!! Good luck on that one!!! I bought SWIMBO a she-shed thinking she'd use it to store garden 'stuff'!!! She stores everything in 'MY' space - the garage. The up side it's approaching the better weather so all the garden 'junk' (swings and sun beds will be evicted). Women!!!!!Probably is Paul, but all available 'dislikes' are already taken up by yarn and knitting-related ephemera! I'm now under orders to change the garden layout so 'hope springs eternal!
