WOW!! That looks great Lyle and you've got it pretty well detailed inside and out. Funny about the stuff falling off due to there being so much detail on the outside of it. Great work on this.
What I DON'T miss is working on these things. There wasn't just a whole lot of room to work with when we used to have to work on the V-6 diesel in the M577's for FDC. Great vehicle when they're runnin' good but you don't wanna work on 'em.

Tnhanks, Joe. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of room “under the hood” as it were. I really enjoyed this for the most part. Hing pins were very well, though.

It wasn't coincidence that I modeled mine like this: .thumb.JPG.8143f4985baef65bd4b9e79028549230.JPG) .thumb.JPG.2380b142a1a062ea3ce22fc1f801b5ef.JPG) |

You already have green grass in KY?? All of the interior work paid off here - you can see plenty through the back door. Great work!

Nice work on your track Lyle! You're doing great in your turn to the Dark Side!  What OD paint did you use? I will say from driving, commanding, or riding one of these things for several years, they are pretty rugged and reliable. Yeah you get a skinned knuckle now and again turning wrenches on 'em, but they are built to last. Somebody got the basics of the design pretty right. |
