Factory fresh LP2A carrier
Great photos of factory fresh carriers looks like they painted them after the build stage . I thought they would have painted them in sections as they came together ? .. I wonder if they where primed first . Notice the burn markes from welding fittings to the hull .
 How good would it be to get your hands on all this new stuff today ! Looks like a big version of Colins workshop

It looks like a railways workshop,because the N.Z. Woburn Huttshops (NZRH) look to be built just the same.
Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Photos like these amaze me. And these are nothing compared to some of the massive factories in the US, UK, even Germany etc during the war where full scale war production was at a premium. All the battlefield photos of these machines in action are one thing but it is easy to surpass what sort of efforts went into getting all this equipment to the the front. I love the YouTube videos of 'how things are made' for this very reason. The energy and engineering behind a war are way above the effort at the pointy end in reality. The sacrifice and suffering at the front are unfortunately the saddest and most tragic part.

Dale, great photos, thanks.
One thing I would like to ask you is to attach pictures to your posts rather than using links to Photobucket - we have learned the hard way that one day sooner rather than later they will disappear making this thread worthless. Here is how you learn how to post images - let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks! Hanno
