Build it. Base kit isn't too expensive. Styrene will probly run you $15.

I've been wanting to do the one we used in Ghazni.

So Rob, is this another hint to a forth-coming resin kit? Inquiring minds want to know.

I have wanted to build a M900 series 5-ton guntruck from OIF for a while. This may be what makes me start.

Actually, one sheet of .040 would be far less than that even.

But think of it - how cool would it be to replace those sinkhole filled leaf springs and axles, not to mention the incomplete air tanks and missing brake components. Just sayin'.
Oh, and correct tires would be nice too, eh?

That would make my shopping list.

Rob,
So what else do you have up your sleeve? Uparmored HETs, LMTVs, a 1:35 of the World's Coolest Chopper?

You need to deploy again or start your own production company.

The World's Coolest Chopper would need to be done in at least 1/12 to make it worth while.

Curiously, we have discussed contacting a die-cast company to market the El Segundo. OCC, with the crap they build, makes more money off of marketing their bikes than building bikes.

By the way, I've seen Jesse James' build for the upcoming build off with Junior and Senior. Not my thing. Not my thing at all...



And don't worry, I've still got a rodeo or two left in me.
