Roco T54 Tracks and Lower Hulls

The inside of the Roco T54 tank has one road wheel that has detail on the inside.

It's very odd that they would do that because it can't really be seen once it is installed.
There are two different types of tracks, and one kind won't fit on the other unless it is trimmed.
This one has two tabs on the top of the lower side hull.  The other, picture two above, has only one.
I had to mix them on my tanks in order to field as many as I can.
Many of mine have the little wheels and many do not.
I am leaving them if they have them and not replacing them if they don't have the little wheels.
Here is a good view of the two tab lower hull.  Note the track won't fit because it has a bar on the top that won't allow the track to fit over the tab.

Race and James

The bridge is a dollar store item.  Figure is a cheap bulk figure from Amazon, painted as Race Bannon.

Tiki Terrain

It does not take much to create a nice little scene if you start with a few trees.
Add a rock formation, bridge, hut, and tiki and you have something there.
This is for my Batman Villain The Tiki.
The tiki was cast from an ice cube mold!  I painted it and added little fake jewels.
I made a number of these and painted them differently for several uses.  They are resin.
The little hut is from the dollar store, I cut the bottom off to make the counter lower.

Palm Trees

I got some palm trees from Amazon.
About 35 years ago I got a bunch of cheap palm trees but recently they have started crumbling.
These are taller than my old ones and are double trees.
It's a nice pack of trees.
They are all the same.
But palm trees don't vary much.
They don't all stand up easily but I will likely add bases to them.
