There's a few to watch out for if you're a fan of the UPN series "Seven
Days" or like "Stargate SG-1", as both outfits have rented our 1962 German
M.A.N. 4x4 and 1965 Auto-Union MUNGA vehicles for various
Russian/Soviet/Former Eastern Bloc scenarios over the last year or so.
There should be a 'Stargate' ep up shortly with these vehicles in it, unless
it's already aired. Also, if you look carefully, you'll notice our M718A1
less top and stretcher kit on many reruns of "Dark Angel", and may even
notice a 'wrecked' bad-guy Humvee in one of the eps which I built up from
one that had been intimate with a train.
Coming up, we're scheduled to do a bunch of CMPs and a Land Rover ("we need
Right Hand Drive - we don't care if it runs!") for some derelict airport
scene in India (era and production unknown), and the Mungas and MAN will go
out yet again as part of a 10-20 'foreign' looking vehicle order before
summer's end. I'll pass on the titles once I know them for the interested.
