If there was ever one of those Just Do Something to Do Something projects, this is certainly it!! I had contacted my friend Charlie Pritchett who is working with the TAKOM model company. I took advantage of this knowing that if I asked for “something to work on” he’d find something that he’d like showcased for the line. Fair enough!! The offer was the T3 Transporter (VW) vans. Takom offers two styles, a van edition, and a short-cab rear cargo version. On the Takom website, both are conceptualized in German/NATO camo as they have history being used for general purpose vehicles. That was going to be fine with me….however…..follow me….
On most days I ride my bike to work each day – 15 miles. After arriving, I change my clothes and then walk to the nearby shops to bring back my morning cup of coffee. About 2 blocks from my work there is a railroad crossing that, on most days, is a pain in the ass because my timing seems to always coincide with a long, slow train blocking my morning walk.
