Roy, turntable is a pretty much a rod into a hollow rod. The turntable remains free to move back and forth. The black on the one part is leftovers from a black piece of plastic that made it too thick....sanded most of it all.

Wow Greg

Straight off the forecourt of ""Trailers "R" Us"" ;)

I guess you will chip, weather & load them when you have a tracker?

You really do blast through your builds, and keep the standards high too :D

What are you waiting for, from MinArt?

Nice work, Greg :D

Steve, Mini-art has announced a number of staff vans, buses, Fuel truck, box body and ambulances on there existing Gaz-AA and AAA truck kits. They should start hitting the market soon. Plus, I have a few trucks/tractors in my stash or may use them in a future diorama. Well see.

Oh! Any idea if they will be sold as an add-on or will they just include the whole truck to go with the new sprues? I'm thinking that add-ons could be really good for improving my copies of Zvezda's version of the GAZ

As always, the paint looks good but covers all the scratchwork. (It's a happy/sad sort of feeling. :? )

John, I highly doubt it that they will do add ons. There website only shows complete kits. But maybe they would sell you just some sprues.

Great job Greg. Your trailers look fantastic :) The MiniArt bus is a good choice too. Can you wait that long for it to be released? ;)
