For modern military load modelers...

[sirenwerks]

I ran across this shop on Shapeways - http://www.shapeways.com/shops/chucks-place?section=1%2F160+N+Scale&s=0.  I can't vouch for accuracy or quality and they're too modern for me to be ordering.

I showed his work to my sister in law, who drives and fixes Army trucks for a living (all 5'2" of her at E5).  She says the digital images are accurate for what she works with.

The CUCV , deuces along with the M548 ammo carrier would be good for the 90's, specially a FA unit. Seeing that some of the CUCV's have light bars would make think either a maintenance unit,, or maybe a convoy guide, or even a follow me car at a air base. Seeing the chapparal, you could even do a ADA ( anti-air defense) unit.  What would be cool,, would be M113, M1A1, M577, M109. Fuel and cargo Hemmet's also. The list is endless.

Wonder how difficult it would be to design the hull for the Abrams?  See them frequently on flat around here on their way to Lima, OH.

Some of these would be nice.

In the works Bob...

There is another one on SW but I'm pretty sure it's a scan and his quality has been questionable.

jimmo yours looks a bit stretched... I have worked on these once before but id rather see  M998, M1097, HMMWVs, M1115 up armored HMMWVs, M985 HEMTT, M1075 PLS, M1078, M1083 MTVs oh oh and this beast M984A2 (or A4) HEMTT Wrecker... Love those...
Actually any I have just listed I have worked on. Yay I love being a mechanic. Lol.

Speaking of military... can anyone identify this?



I'm told it's a Navy ammo transport rig.  Photo is obviously from the 40s and it is supposed to have been taken in St. Louis.

I don't know if you right clicked the image and selected search Google for image.  This is what came up.  2/3rd of the way down some more info. http://forums.aths.org/PrintTopic163827.aspx

Hope it helps.

No, I had no idea you could search by image.  Very cool feature, thanks for that heads up.  I will have to play with that more.

jimmo yours looks a bit stretched...

I can assure you that it is accurate. If Herpa's HO model is correct then so is mine.

I think I might want to model this. Anyone know where I could get drawings?

Don't get your panties in a twist... I said it *looks* stretched.
Probably because your missing details between the engine cover and the actual tank part of the HEMTT...
Yes i also know its a WIP...
Oh and you should totally make some HMMWVs in resin, M998s would be good for '90s to about 2010 when they were in process of being phased out... Or M1097s, both are soft tops but 1097s are still running around. Or both... I'd buy a bunch... That is if you don't make them already if you do, make one where there is no canvas on the rear, exposing the bed of the truck.


Oh and for those that don't know 91B is an Army MOS for Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic...  so I get to "play" around on these beasts.

I haven't even figured out what type of panel truck it is.
