My Roco US Army 37mm anti-tank guns have been in disarray for a long time, now they are getting some work.
A couple of trucks getting their camouflage touched up. Note the photo in the upper left.
A soldier in Europe in WWII took some scrape bits and made a .50 caliber machine gun mounted on a carriage to tow being a Jeep.
So I took the shield, wheels, axle, and one of the trails from a 37mm gun that was missing the barrel and one trail and made the .50 caliber towed gun.
I cut down the shield on the 37mm gun, added the wire cutter from a Roco Willy's Jeep as the supports, and added an extra .50 caliber machine gun ammo box as extra ammunition.
The original Roco 37mm anti-tank gun.

Some of these I build so the trails can be opened or closed.
Slightly damaged ones get the trails glued together, like this one.
Others get glued down on a sheet of plastic with the trails open.
