Thanks little Jo - the truck is actually a painting - I photographed the truck outside my house and copied it - it's watercolour on watercolour paper. I mucked around with it a bit - and worked up the background. Here's a photo of the illustration earlier on....

.. and this is the photo I took it from. The truck has since been repainted and I'm getting it ready for Corowa in 2012. See you there?

Hi Warren,
You had better leave the drawing kit at home in March next year, otherwise there will be a queue a mile long of hopefuls waiting for a similar treatment of there own truck. Fortunatley I won't be IN the queue, I will be in front of it......
Rich.

Default Fantastic, Warren!

How about putting a LAC in the hatch with a bren shooting down one of the Zeros?

You can hang the Bren on a gallows mount so people realise it wasn't for lifting the spare wheel.

Hi Warren

Having now Seen the original photo and the various stages of the production I can only marvel at the outcome. Keith idea of the bren is not a bad idea making it look like a desperate situation. Hey mate there could be a nice little business lurking there. I can see different types of memebers own Military Vehicles in different senarios making their own vehicle come to life in battle. Sorry Richard I would push to the front of the line.

Cheers

Tony
