Fantastic shed Rick. I see what you mean about they are never big enough . I remember you telling me that before when talking on the phone . The lynx's looks amazing sand colour looks spot on . Rick any change of a photo of your carrier which I think is 2250 close to mine I know you have not started it yet but still would be nice to see where it's stored . Dale

My Shed isn't as big as Rick's, but here is my home made slap together gantry.

Andrew, I was just updating my Lynx register and listed on the thread below, some info on your Lynx.

http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=21839

Your hull should be No 2025 which is the newest listed hull number on the Army Registration Numbers lists at the Australian War Memorial. (Not the last ARN though. I have that one, ARN 123980.)

I also have a photo of 123970 for you. Obviously post WWII and not so loved. I cannot make out the makes of the car in the back ground, but one looks like a Falcon Station wagon, or an EH Holden so mid 1960's.

I haven't been able to find one of mine yet.

Please get in touch with me as I understand that you may have another ex. Australian Lynx in New Zealand.

Regards Rick.

But Andrew, I only see half of one of your sheds, and the gantry is not even in the picture!
A nice picture of your rotesserie, showing the proffessional way you go about doing things.
I take it that's a new floor going in.
