I got this link from Jim Lyles, on his impending release of the new Gun Truck reference book. It looks quite good - worth the wait. "The Hard Ride" is promising to be the reference book for these types of vehicles...

Thanks Gunny. I just checked it out and added the book to my wish list.

Thanks for the info Gunnie, contacted James Lyles, and had my name put on the list. :-)

Mnay thanks for the 'heads-up' Gunnie. I've been waiting for you to let us all know about it.
It looks like an exellent scope of work . And it's available in hard-cover! Nice..... :-)
For the record I am ordering one of the signed editions.
Also for the record, and in case any of you are not aware. Our Gunnie, yes, the man who so selflessly tries his darndest to answer our queries when he can, is a significant contributor to this book. Now Gunnie is too modest to say this for himself, so I am stepping forward to say it for him. He, (Gunnie), can get mad at me if he want's to, I just thought it was fitting that he be recognized for his contribution to what will obviously be THE Guntruck book for quite awhile!

Tread.

BTW, I'll bet 'Dollars to Doughnuts' that the modeling section in the book has more than one picture of our Gunnie's superb work! :-) :-) :-)

Aww shucks - I always try to keep a low profile...

I'm also working with some photos and information to participate in a revision / update of Krause Publications' Standard Catalogue of US Military Vehicles 1940 - 1965. That volume is one of my favorite books for checking specs and detailing my models - now I get a chance to submit material and be included in a revised edition. As the project progresses towards printing - I'll post a thread.

Kinda diggin' that right about now... It'll be fun for me to complain about the accuracy of information I submitted in a book somewhere #:-)

Gunnie

Holy Mackeral Gunnie! So......how soon can we expect to see you on the 'Today' Show hawking your wares?

Tread. #:-)

Congrats Gunnie, you deserve it.

Perhaps one day we'll see "Jim Lewis' Definitive Guide To Guntrucks".

Heh heh - probably a long time - my legs don't look as good as Katie Couric's...

Gunnie #:-)

"Jim Lewis' Definitive Guide to Gun Trucks - In Miniature"

"Gun Trucks - In Detail & Scale" Hmmmmmm

Now that's a thought! Wonder where'd I'd find a publisher willing to take a chance on me...

Gunnie

Sorry I'm not a publisher then Gunnie, because I'd take a chance on ya!

Tread.

waaaahhaaaaaa! I'm sure your right Gunnie, but I'll take your word for it!

You never know Gunnie, perhaps Kalmbach Publishing is looking for something in this area. Many of the books they have put out are outdated and need revision. I keep waiting on some of these superdetailing masters to come out with a masterpiece of modeling 'how-to' literature.
