Joe, your work is truely amazing. This is the best scratch building I've seen. So clean and crisp. You make me jealous with this increadible build. It super amazing. You are one talented man with an extememly increadible gift. You should win every competition there is... I am still amaze at your work no matter how many times I look at it.

I was working on one last year but had started on only the launcher part then decided to leave out the entire vehicle as it was going to take time, but seeing your work, I am glad I did not do it because yours is amazing.

Again, amazing work and I want some clear pics so I can hang it up in my living room. One thing to remember. There are two different kinds of chutes. If you want pics then e-mail me and I can sen them to you.

Wow, first time I saw this thread. Beatiful job Joe. Do you ever do the AMPS shows? You should bring this to MD in April.

Short update, finished up the small detail work and sprayed on a first coat. I'll do a second coat of NATO green followed by NATO brown and black (Tamiya). Once dry I'll go ahead and finish up with the wires and plugs.

I still haven’t decided if this will be a Desert Storm or OIF theme, leaning towards OIF with help from Arnold and Bob.

Ti thanks...I'll PM you.

Bob, no I don't get to travel...I wish I could.





More to follow,
Joe

Thanks man! and on page two has a link showing a few pics of the finished model. It won first place in major conversion/scratchbuilt class, AMPS best military vehicle. Entered into a second show in the Master Modelers class...it won and at third show it won the Ace of Ace's award.

There is a show this weekend, i thought I might dust it off and show it. Would it be right...I've asked others who say why not. Still unsure.

Happy Modeling,
Joe
