This is a pair of CHAVREs made from two
Heroics & Ros Chieftain hulls. They represent the versions
created by the Willich arsenal in the mid-to-late 1980's for the Royal
Engineers. The racks are made from stock plastic I-Beams
and some fancier stuff whose name I can't recall. The packs of
fascines (they look like bundles of sticks, but are pipes in real life)
are stock rods cut to lenght. The rolls of trackway are coffee
stirrers, wrapped in masking tape and then a lay of mesh. While
these models look good on the table, I really had difficulty squaring
off the different parts of the plastic frames. Only one has a
plow, as I have photos of them both with and without it. The plow
is a hunk of bent brass.
