Hello Guys. Well the project continues to move forward. Although not the best photos of the dock, it has been weathered and painted by Al Lafleche, along with the small Rowboat, Tools, Barrels and 4 figures. Also, as you can see Alex Johnson is moving along backdating PT-374. You can see the cover scoops over the charhouse have been done, along with repositioned charthouse side windows. Alex has trimmed the spray shields to get the shape he wants on the port side wing bridge. Radar cables have been removed, as well as the life raft stand. More work to be done, but things are looking up. Frank Ryczek will also be adding a WC51 Jeep carrier, including figures to represent the crew of PT-374.By the way guys we need a WC51 Jeep Carrier for a decent price, so send me a good supplier.

Frank

Ahoy there Frank Andruss Jr.

How about a built weapons carrier that should have had the 37 mm anti-tank gun on it? I have one here. It is missing the tops of the ammo bins in the cargo bed. If you are interested let me know and I'll email you a picture of it as it looks now. I *FINALLY* got a decent digital camera. I bought the camera just before Christmas2009.

Is there anything else you need for this diorama that I might be able to help you with?

Cheers from Peter

Hey Peter Tare-

Frankie A. just sent me an e-mail showing me the shots you took of the WC51 that you had built. She looks really good. Don't sweat it about the steering wheel and ammo lids missing. I have a spare wheel and I'll scratch out the lids for the truck. Thank you so much for offering to supply this model for our Green Island project. I hope that you won't mind a few mods on the model to replicate a shot of the WC51 as it appeared on the island. Frank a sent me this shot as well. I'll supply the 9 figures for the truck as close to the shot that I can.

Frank A. will get a hold of you, and he'll give you my home address. Send the truck directly to me! Thanks agian for your offer on this vehicle model.

Hi there Frank and Frank.

I'm really glad to be able to help you guys out with this. I'm *REALLY* happy that someone can make use of this model. It's been sitting around here for a few years now.

I'll get it out to you tomorrow.

Cheers from PeterTareBuilder

Hey there Frank Ryczek, Jr.

Frank Andruss informed me that you are looking for US sailor heads with the white caps on them. Can you get some more of them cast if I send you four heads and hats from the two Trumpeter WW2 USN LCM Crew sets I have?If those four heads and hats (they are separate pieces in the set) are of use to you, let me know and I'll put them in with the WC-51 tomorrow before I send it to you.

Cheers from Peter

Hey Peter Tare the Builder-

If you have the sailor's and the heads and hats, man that would be awesome! I don't have anyway to cast them as we speak, but if you need them cast I guess I can find one of my friends to make you a set or two, three or more. Those dixie caps are a pain to scratch out if you have to. I tried several times with little results! Once I have a mold made, I'll cast all we need. That would be one big problem solved!

Please e-mail me at -

shipkit@bellsouth.net

Thanks for everything Pete!
