Here is a couple of photos of two projects that I am working on. the first one is the M572 A2 Pole Truck based on the AFV Club 2 1/2 ton kit with scratch built cargo bed and winch system. I used Evergreen plastic stock, brass strips and chain. The second one is the Chinese 50 Ton Tank Transporter by Trumpeter. It being built straight out of the box. I have a long way to go on both.

Animal once again some good projects from you. I am glad to see you up and at it again.

Looking good Dave, nice to see what your are working on.

Howdy Dave,

Mighty nice to see you posting pics of your work again. Thought you'd buggered out on us for some well-deserved R&R in Tahiti or somethin'.......but I guess the draw of our pretty faces was just too much for ya.

Your Pole Truck is really nice, and an even better use of a standard kit. Good on ya. But, it just screams out to be put in a wee vignette...

The Tank Transporter is nicely done as well. But isn't it missing those rather gaudy 'vogue' style tyres??......

Good work animal.

Tread.

excellent! love the first truck, you put out some amazing models!

Thanks everyone. I have to admit that I was in a slump for quite a while. These are the first two models I have been working on since July. I got myself in a funk of sorts for a while. But I seem to have a grasp of it now.I have been keeping my eye on the site all along and have to admit that there are a lot of new members here that do some very outstanding work.



Thanks Cliff I am feeling a lot better now. So look out I will be keeping an eye on my favorite Bro from "Down Under".




You know, Tahiti sounds like a beautiful place to bug out to. But I guess you caught me hey Mate. No one can stay away from this place with all your faces to be seen!! :-)



By the way congrats on the UOM award. Nice to see another old guy among us. LOL You deserve it

.

Thanks Shain. I appreciate the kudos.

Dave,
Great trucks. How did the Tank Transporter go together? I am looking at getting one of these myself.

Hi Gino, The transporter goes together very nicely. I can't say that I had any problem with it with the exception of the tubing that is supplied with the kit for the air and hydraulic lines. I think that they are too thick. This is the only Item that I replaced with my own stock. As with most Trumpeter kits the instructions are vague in some areas. I suggest studying them before hand to make sure you can understand them. All and all it is a great kit with a lot of detail. I say go for it Gino, you are going to like it.
