Hi Chuck,
This looks awesome! Must have been a hell of a job scratchbuilding this one. But it was worth the effort, just fantastic! sure wish I was capable of doing this kind of stuff.

BTW maybe it's me but I can't seem to understand why the &$↕#!^}+/╩ nobody releases a mineplow conversion for the LVTP5 !!!

kind regards
Mark

Me too Chuck - I like it a lot and don't have any nit-picks. Interesting subject matter too - it's difficult to make that big old "shoebox" appealing. I think you did - at least for me.

I am terribly impressed. I did not realize that you scratchbuilt the interior, deck, turret, etc. The ammo rack itself must have been quite a job! Outstanding work on an interesting subject.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hey Chuck,

Fantastic work here. Just curious, do you have any shots before you painted?

NICE WORK. I always think the scratch building is WELL WORTH the time and effort. It really takes what you get OTB that much further. NICE JOB.
