Do these picture help with determining which model of Sherman this is? V/R Ron M Cheney

Just like m1010plowboy figured, the sandblaster is a former Marine and he can't wait to get his hands on it. Here's another picture of the front and I'm trying to get video finished so we can upload it. V/R Ron M Cheney

It's not the looker that I was hoping for but she's going to have to do (like I stated in the original post.. I got this CHEAP). The history on this vehicle is that the right side was used for rocket launcher practice for exactly one day. The next day the while on the firing range, one of the...

The crane company confirmed that they will be onsite tomorrow and I have a film crew capturing the delivery. It's going to be a LONG night.

We will be filming the delivery on Monday morning! I also have a breech ring that I need to file a Form 1 on so we can reactive the main gun. We have plenty of 1919's and M2's in the armory to make it feel welcome at it's new home.

I don't have pics with me (left the iPad at home) but I managed to negotiate the purchase of a Sherman M4 tank. We were here in my office and when the current owner told me the price, I couldn't shake his hand and call it a "deal" fast enough. My poor wife was trying to keep calm and cool while...

This goat won't be ready for driving anytime soon. So many projects ahead of this one :-(

We got lucky and found a complete Goat and my partner completed the deal at $4,500 delivered to our property. It's dated 1972 and is 100% complete except for missing a rear light. It still has the original military 6TM batteries in it. We still have quite a few vehicles ahead of it needing...

We picked it up in Pahrump as part of a package deal.

Our M2A1 half track arrived today and the fact that it starts and stops is just extra. Here's a little video of it. http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/4463/r2ldltdcgqeoxizkpspuek.mp4

We used one of the German surplus MG3 turrets. Fabrication was simple and we can mount a M240, M249, MG3/MG42 no problem. These were from RobertRTG in AZ if interested.

It's directly behind Circus Circus on Industrial Road and Circus Circus Drive. We have a little over 5 acres of property that is being transformed into a FOB with various periods of US military history. Employees will be required to keep military fitness and grooming standards because they are...

Our trucks have one year of Vegas summer sun and approaching our second (already hitting 100 degrees) and the paint still looks like we just sprayed it. No flaking, peeling or lifting. BTW, here is another truck that we just recently finished for a new location that we are opening. I know the...

We are already planning on it and it's on the list of things to do. We will be purchasing uniforms from WWII, Vietnam and GWOT as our employees will also be dressed in period uniform depending on the day of the week. The one thing you won't see at our property are the hot shorts and bikinis that...

I will get some better photos posted up tomorrow but we finished the OD paint job on the Huey today. Also, we had the Huey incorporated into our logo. As for the swap meet/military vehicle show, I don't know of any other MV owners in the Las Vegas area. I would love to do something like that...

We just moved stuff around the property. They have 1000 sandbags to fill and place around the building and make some "bunkers".

That would be it! We removed all the logos yesterday and plan on stripping the rest of the paint off today and tomorrow. Here is a picture of the property that we took yesterday. thanks, Ron

I sent a text to all managers involved (all prior service and active duty) and prior to learning about your father's service, I really thought there was going to be drama because the Marine wanted Marine colors, the two Air Force guys wanted an AF scheme and of course, the rest of the Army guys...

We are actually one block from Las Vegas Boulevard. It used to be a heavy equipment yard years ago and we got REALLY lucky finding 3.3 acres so close to the Strip.

Do you have pictures of your dad and the helicopter? We are using pictures of our family members who served from WWII up until the current GWOT. My uncles served in both Korea and Vietnam, my partner's grandfather served in WWII and between the five of them, we have pictures of them next to...
