Bloke to ask for is Daryl Noe up at Nanango.

They did have 4.2' baseplates still in the shipping crates from the army at one stage, I saw them at Daryls place at Kuraby.

if you don't have any luck try this mob

Good luck though, he can be a bit spotty to deal with (runs hot and cold if he wants to sell stuff)

Sherrys ? They have moved to another location and not a patch on what they used to sell. Gucci camo and thats about it.....

Howards last gunshow was a disaster, very poor and not a lot of gear for sale anymore.

Only auction is one in August

looks OK

thats a new one to me at least they have it under a roof and on concrete but looks like sun has got to the tyres and many smalls have walked as usual . will have to chase it up next time I am down that way if you want to see them closer to home in the parks in Victoria theres one at kangaroos ground near bendigo and another in a suburban rsl park near keilor .
