Barry LloydThanks for photos Alan, very useful for detail shots as I'm building a desert Scorpion! I'm sure that is a Spartan command vehicle, certainly there's a Scimitar there. Cougar photos is useful too as I've just added one to my stash!

Alan RushThanks John. Thanks Barry. I hope the photos can be of use. There were demonstrations with the vehicles during the day, so they have some dirt and dust on them to help with weathering a model.

Album info
I volunteer at the Ontario Regiment Museum in Oshawa, Ontario. This year they hosted a special event to mark the 70th anniversary of the battle for Aquino in which the Ontario's took part in the Italian Campaign. Part of the museum's purpose is to restore and operate military vehicles, especially ones the regiment would have used. They also invited other vehicles to take part along with some re-enactors. That was also where the AMPS Great White North Show was held, but unfortunately I was busy with the museum and only ran through the show and took no pictures. However, when the day was over and everyone was gone, I took some time to photograph the vehicles that were there. Many are the museum's with some British vehicles from a private collector and Quad, limber and 25 pounder from another collection. Hope you enjoy them and help me with the names if I make a mistake, especially with the British ones.
