The .50-caliber quad mount comes from an M16 MGMC US Halftrack paper model kit published by WAK of Poland. I scrapped the guns in the kit and scratchbuilt the .50-cals in paper from line drawings of the gun found online. I substituted my own sling seat and built the trigger post from plastic rod.
The trailer is scratchbuilt in cardstock using wheels & tires from another paper kit (the water trailer described in my earlier post). The heavy tow bar is plastic rod, the tow ring is brass rod, and the jacks are scratchbuilt from cardstock. Photos from Google were used as reference.
I used Photoshop to apply the "Kilroy" graffiti. At 1:25 scale, the model is 8 inches long and about 3 inches tall. Build time was about 35 hours, I think.
