Here is my completed M123A1C with M15A1 trailer. It was scratch/converted using old Renwall wrecker as base with parts from Dragon Wagon, M925, and wheels from 1/24 scale truck model and lots of scratchbuilding. Without further ado, here are the photos, enjoy:






I think I am getting better at the photos. These are in natural light, outside, with a tripod. Let me know what you think.

Bravo Gino. This one turned out beautiful. That old Peerlis trailer looks fantastic. You did a great job modifing it. The only thing that I see missing is the drop down step on the center of the front bumper. Three cheers for a job well done

Wow Arty , I like I like! Yeppers thats what they looked like. You done well!
Most of the pic's look good. There are a couple there that look like a focus problem, but other than that , fine. I take all of my pic's outside also . I prefer the natural light.

Cheers,

Garry

Great modeling job Gino! You did the subject proud!

Animal,
The trailer is actually the Tamiya M15 from the Dragon wagon kit, highly modified (widened, steps widened, rear ramps scratched, etc., etc., etc.). The drop down front bumper step is there, just can't see it in the photos. Thanks for the comments.

Then you have a fantastically great example.

Howdy Gino,

I've seen this in your gallery off & on for a wee while. Glad you finally got it done! That trailer is a slendid example of scratch-bashing! ........Hey!....I think I just invented a 'new' word!
I think I'll keep it.
I don't suppose you kept copious notes regarding your efforts did you? If so, you would be greatly indulging your fan club by posting them in the form of an Article! I'm sure we'd all love to read it.
Good on ya Gino.....she looks fantastic!

Tread.

P.S. I wish your last couple of pics were a bit more in focus, I would love to see the detail on the back of the cab and in front of the 5th wheel.

hi Gino
Great scratch building project, did you scratch built the winches and do you have any drawings you can share with us and can you take more detailed pictures.
cheers
Ralph

Very impressive, Gino!

What do you plan to put on the trailer?

Thanks for the comments from all. I don't think I would be able to put together an article. I didn't really keep any notes and I can't get any better pictures out of my camera. It is a Casio Elim or something like that, basically a digital snapshot camera, not good for details. As far as referances, I used a bunch of photos and some huge blue-print style drawings sent to me by the Mack Museum and stuff I got off the internet.
As for a load, I have an M48-A3 en route from Ebay (got it for a steal at $12) that I may do with the engine cover removed or something like that.

Excellent bash, man! Not too bad with the camera either.

Very nice work , its well build and its hugeeeee!!! BRAVO

more than a model,it looks a piece of art.congrats Gino.

I think your model is EXCELLENT man, but ur camera sux a bit... pics are blurry

as far as about the model itself.... u did it 100% good, now, do another good job and make some tank (or vehicle) to put on the trailer and make a complete show!

Yup...needs a load. I think....M41 Bulldog. Just a thought.

Hi Gino,

Good modelling job.
