All I can say is wow. You're doing a great job with it. IT actually brought back memories of my buddies in the 13th Engineers, 7th IDL at Ft. Ord.

Many thanks to Marco, Scott Thomas, Henk, Jerry, (Jeremy... call me dude!), Nick, Jeff, Michael, Pat, Rob and Marcel.

@ Brian, as too the glue marks, seams and gaps...well I sand glued ares and fill in seams using super glue.

@ Kurt, model after model...well it helps to be retired and having nothing else to do, even the house is fully finished.

@ Todd, hey man still go for it. if you need reference pics I will send you what I have.

@ Jeff, yes it will be at BuffCon, hope to see you there.

@ Ed, do it look close, see something missing, point it out.

Thanks Guys

Here's a bit of good news guys, I'm going to work on a second SEE project which will be turned into a resin kit. The second model will have better detail and a rounder front fender cab.

This will be produced and sold through Commander Models/Iron Shipwrights.

I won't be able to start this project until mid April. If all goes well it should be available late summer.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

YES!!! I always wanted an SEE, i just haven't developed the scratch building skill. But a resin kik would be great.

flippin nora thats good.... bit modern for me as a subject but that scratch building is stunning

How is this baby coming along Joe? I am sure it is looking awesome!

Great news, I just stumbled on some Cdn Army pics that showed we used this vehicle too!

My latest update, well I’m starting to see the finish line. A few little odds and ends left to do and then finish painting. What paint you see will make it easier to get at before the sub sections are glued on.

Absolutely amazing. Joe, you got skills!

Great work Joe! Looking forward to seeing the casting offerings of the SEE. I really enjoyed your past efforts, like I am holding a casting of one of your ice coolers. Neat stuff! Thank you for sharing

Thanks Henk, Tom and Gillespie

Hey guys question, can you see the photos, I only see the X red boxes.

Joe

I can only see the last pic where you say it's a dry mock up.

It turned out looking great.. as always

Hisham

Sorry for the late progress postings. Here are the latest photos. I painted on the base color of Tamiya's NATO green and Field Green mixed 50/50.













Made it easier for myself, using colored pencils to fill in the NATO colors on printed photos I found on the internet.



Door Handles

Thanks Hisham, and I see it's to late to fix it as the edit function is missing. I'll try to repost those missing.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Here are the missing photo...

Rotors (front)







Fenders



In this photo you can see the cooling box in the background. The cooling box has two electric fans. The fan came from race car kit and a mold was made to make extras.



I have no idea why I added a engine, you will and can not see it. But still !!!

I now have the cab glassed in with interior added and it's fully painted. I'll take photos later and post.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Looking very nice Joe. Great scratch building. An option on the engine, to show it off, is to leave the hood off. I remember in Iraq the hoods were removed due to overheating.

I don't know what to say....which of these do you prefer?!:

Stunning
Great
Huge
Cool
Superb
...
...
and so on

Most assuredly a man of talent!

Thanks Guys I can not wait to finish this one. I will say that of all the models I build this is the one I'm really proud of.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

It's getting closer to the finish, applied the last of the NATO colors yesterday and will do so weathering.

Mind you this is only mocked up. I still need to connect the hoses and spot lights, weather and add unit markings followed by any paint touch ups.

I'm still looking for plain 6 hole rims in 1/35th.









Happy Modeling,
Joe

Damn Henri those are it, you the man, now to get a set. Thanks man!!!
