Good Morning everyone (Lurkers included)This is the first pic from the new composition.I am really excited about this especially because it is a completely new design and not a modified repeat of the first shadow box.

In researching Ford model A's in the German army in WW1 I discovered that Ford had an parts assembly plant there since 1912.So in keeping with my usual standard of "if it could have happened during the era",I will use the Ford chassis on my German truck.In those days Ford would sell you there chassis and you would build your own truck.(remember that this is an experimental facility that I am building here).
It also could have been a captured truck in German markings like the Camel.Anyway, I feel that I have enough justification to go ahead and use it.

Not that it will show in your diarama and only Nit pickers (who ever they are) would spot it, but the Model A truck didn't come along until 1927.
Never mind. I knows all dis stuff an I has ta tell it. Besides It looks like a WWI truck to me.

Yes,I know but he would sell you the chassis alone and you could build any truck body that you like on it.Don't feel bad pointing this out,I wish more people would ,it is the best way to learn.
