Hi Gentlemen,

I started this build beginning of 2013 and worked on it on and off for the past years! Last month I pushed my mojo in order to complete it!
Hope you'll like it!






These following two photos before weathering!

Wow, Maher! Those are great! They would be impressive had they been kits, but as scratch-builds they are mind-blowing. They could easily pass for 1:1!

Mark, thanks for your kind comment!
Here are some WIP photos:






You can find here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChM4TBTm9oTUKLdvBZyoFZg/videos the videos for the whole build!

Incredible skills! Truly inspiring. This would be a great subject to be made by the plastic giants. Will wait and see.

Thanks Jonathon, much appreciated! I hope to see a kit of it one day!

Maher

Hi Maher, Good to see your work over here. Very impressive project.

Love your work on the leaf springs!

I wish you would share some of your scratch building techniques, especially those tires.

That's some great scratch building. Really inspiring.

Wow,this is really an impressive show of finesse there.I´ve rarely seen such a fine made build.Especially the cabin looks stunning....really excellent work there.

Bob, good to see you here my friend! I wanted to change and I felt this site is more active than MilMod!

Masterful work! I thought the outdoor photos where reference of the actual vehicle. Really inspiring and thanks for sharing the building process too.
