Wow sharp work

Thanks ! It'll be very helpful. I bought the operator manual also to help understand what parts actually do...I like learning about the builds vs just gluing a piece of plastic to another . Lol !! It's safe to grab a tasty beverage I'll be starting this week, had a couple outdoor activities to finish up

Good choice for the Bradley , I haven't settled on the load yet..definitely leaning towards a Desert Storm scheme since the M1070 wasn't fielded yet . Amazing this behemoth could handle the Abrams but just barely.

Thanks Ben , I usually would've waited for the hobbyboss offering but became impatient waiting for them to release . After building HB M1070 monster kit I'm sure you'll enjoy it

Fantastic work Brian ! The larger diameter parts on the hooker really stand out and the color combo is awesome

I've been called back to the bench by the siren song of plastic...and fellas...this box is chock full !!! I bought the Meng models M911 heavy equipment transport which includes the M747 heavy duty trailer...yeah all in one massive box! ! I decided early on this build would be nearly OOB except the addition of the Meng resin 8V- 92TA-90 engine..which is absolutely stunning with the insane detail molded into it. I'll be starting the build this week , so stay tuned here...feel free to comment or ask questions along the way ! Here's a few teaser pics And the unbelievable engine... Grab the popcorn and favorite drink...it's gonna be a fun time !

I bought one on ebay last yr they pop up occasionally. Mine must've sat for awhile cause the major parts were badly warped, and I ended up scratchbuilding new ones using them for patterns. Mine didn't come with the outer body , I fabbed that myself . I'll keep eye out for ya

Yesterday out for a lunch cruise w my 2 yr old daughter and spotted several vintage cars cruisin thru cortland NY area, only after stopping in Homer gas station did I realize they were participants of the 2018 great american race! !! Most of the cars names were unknown but the drivers and navigators were super friendly allowing kids to sit in their cars ! Wish my phone battery wasn't dead I missed several pics of 2 Hudson hornets , and numerous other amazing rides !! If your in the northeast area this week, their heading to Vermont monday ending in Halifax NS...

Thanks tom..how about buying a couple kenworth transit challenger mixers for your collection...

Pm sent

Awesome job !!!!

Good to see ya back Kerry ! Progress looks good I've been slacking too..warm weather tends to drive me outside away from the bench

Really like how your tank came out and all the fittings your adding it really brings the model to life

Excellent work

Thanks everyone Tom- drop me a text if there's anything the future owner wants added lol Glad I could help with your build block, this was a fun build just for something different and hugely gratifying. Hopefully I'll see it in paint eventually. ..

Really like this truck will be following along

Thanks !! I'm just waiting on the rest of the tires now then send off to the new owner for paint . I had few days off work so I spent the time fashioning the d rings , wood planking and misc details I noticed . Last night's major step was marrying the deck to the suspension section...total length ends up 25 inches !!! Hope my buddy has enough shelf space lol here's a few wip pics . The front suspension mounts required a different shape, they attach via a yoke or fork around the beam..I just made some strips and sanded the shape into them adding a few Meng bolts for detail. I left everything loose for painting Well...that's it for now ..oh that arm is the lever they flip to unlock the trailer when unhooking guess I captured the look pretty close

I started working on the rear section, the trunnion boxes located between the wheels . The last trailer I built I struggled keeping the 4 pieces even and level..this go round I glued a section of square tube inside then covered with Plastruct HO diamond plate Finally mocked up the drop air suspension after everything dried Lastly was turning my attention to the deck ramps a quick doodle on 040 sheet covered up the framing and received its tread strips Almost there any feedback welcome !

Yeah that's pics of my lowboy unsure how they posted to your crackerbox build

Thanks everyone ! Weird not working on a wrecker for once

Thanks !!

Thank you I'm my own worst critic

Thanks alot !! I originally planned using the kit lowboy for parts..but he wanted a modern trailer for his bill signs hauler..so I contacted jamie and secured enough sets for an appropriate trailer. Thanks for following along

Tamiya extra thin for everything

Really like how it looks The slight frame stretch definitely looks good , can't wait to see more
