PICTURES!! Back from Portland!

Post by Cal_Gary »

Back in town, gang. The MVPA Convention was great-scored a modern military tow bar, M37 "jump" seat (that I may sell), a 900x16 inner tube from Wallace Wade, and some rattle can touch up 24087 from Rapco. Sorry I couldn't find Wayne's winch TM, and I checked with all 3 vendors selling TMs. Nor did I connect with Storm as I only got about 4 hours at the Convention on Day One, having to leave for our next destination. We did meet up with a friend we first met in Portland at the 2008 National, not having seen her since Topeka in 2010.

Pictures will be added this weekend per Bert's request if I can clear some space here :)

Thanks Carter,
3 or 4 M37s in various states of wear-one painted USN which was a bit of a surprise to me, having never seen one in that shade of gray. I also took some close-ups of some areas on the Ms that I still need to fab/fix on mine. I also stopped on a frontage road in Idaho where a 41 Dodge Command Car sits in weeds, beat up but salvagable, and snapped some shots of it. That one would be a steal if I can line up some extra cash in the next 3 months or so....

No pictures yet Gary? :twisted:

I saw some pictures and videos on the Steel Soldiers site yesterday with a bunch of WW2 Ducks (DUKW) swimming in the river during the convention and it looked like everyone was having a blast.

And these. Let me know if there is something in particular you want to see-I took a bunch of other shots not M37 but am fighting quota space.
