beautiful work Joe!

id love to add a model of that to my collection any chance i could get a copy of the drawings?

Great work and explanations. I'm looking forward to see new advances about this rare model. I don't like modern vehicles but it is an excepcion.

Regards.

Pedro.

That's a nice job!

I always wondered how people do this with evergreen. It does not work for me so.. What am I doing wrong

I just find this site with 3D husky :

Amazing work Joe, some seriously excellent scratchbuilding skills there... Again.



I wish I could get my louvres etc as cleanly and neatly accurate as yours.

After a small break I got back to adding some plastic to the Husky project. One of the small problems was what to do about the axels. For one I was not into scratching one so I went digging around the parts boxes. I started of with 1/24 and 25th trucks and cars axels but found nothing. So into the 1/35th parts and found something somewhat I could work with.2 ½ ton axels from AFV club M35 kit. I just added in the rest, so so.

Next were the leaf springs and shocks with a few pieces of brass rod. As I said earlier I can’t recall what/where the nuts and bolts are from, bought them way back in bulk.

Next were the hubs, I’m not so worried with them so much as they will be covered up with a round plate filling in the whole wheel rim. And lastly the gear boxes, hoses and wiring followed by the bumpers. I needed four NATO lights so I borrowed four from a kit and casted them in resin.

I’m working on finishing the hoses, wiring and the drive shafts.








































Happy Modeling,
Joe

Thanks for the kind comments Angelo, Henk , Scott , Nick, Pedro and Murdo!!!

Nick I need some time to get all the drawing together, remind me in a few weeks.

Hilbert I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong, what I think is that you’re not doing it enough, practice practice and practice.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Pascal thanks for the link, it does help some. Many of the parts from the link are different but it does gives some in-sight. Thanks!!!

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Are you awake. "Freak". Looks real.nice Joe can't wait to see ot finished

Hello to all there
Am a newbie - french one-( don't know if there is somewhere to do some kick intro if yes apologise !!)
I have been following your built to day from your first post and just want to congratulate for your hight level of skill in evergreen stuff ( I have been modelling and "molding for 30 years 1/43 racing cars)
Was also reading post from fans that would like to have your masterpiece molded and get some sample and just want to explani ( if they dn't know) Doing a superb sratch work like this is complety different than doing a master to be duplicated in resin
The work in protyping part is different due to the fact parts are to be solid and not hollowed and you never have to built on totaly some areas like some louvers ( you stated this somewhere in your thread)that have to be molded separatly
So it is a different satisfaction for the master builder because he cannot check daily his masterpiece growing !!!

This said just for info I come back to my congratulations ;
you are really a master and I will follow your built very attentivly
Keep on your so good work

Joe
This is total madness.
You reach an outstanding level.
The work on the axles is an inspiration for me to restart some scratchbuild project.

Thanks for that and keep up the good work
cheers
Seb

Fantastic progress. Thanks for posting step-by-step pictures with your build and the parts sourcing and problem solving descriptions. These are helpful to me for solving similar issues I may have with my own build projects.

Here a little more work from yesterday, the fenders, bracing, mud flaps and wiring/hoses for the bumpers finished.















I’m working on the main X-ray machines right now and once finished it’s onto the nickel and dime stuff…mirrors, spot lights and such.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Looks good daddy "o"

Wow Joe!! That looks awesome. Great job of scratch-building. I can't wait to see it with some paint on it.

Great work Joe! I wish I could scratch build like some of you!

Joe

As always, your stuff just simply rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!! I can never figure out how you manage to keep everything symmetrical and perfectly clean !!!!!!

All this and in 1/35

Stunning work as ever !!!!!!!!!!!

Nige

Beautiful work!! You have a great talent.

I wish one of the big manufacturers would buy the master from you and make it into a kit

Joe
I don't know what to say.
Flawless job. Attention to details.
The beauty of your work, it seems so simple to do it like if it was an OOB build.
So neat congrats
Cheers
Seb

Simply amazing!

Wouldn't take much for a mainstream kit maker to reverse engineer this into a styrene kit.



cheers
