A Work in Progress

Here is the third view. This model is extremely detailed and has almost all of the items found on the real vehicle.

 

Last view. I may take a break before beginning the trailer but will eventually finish the whole vehicle.

Thanks for the kind words. I thought that it was a pretty good job for someone almost 82 years young.

Retired, that's looking very cool! That really captures the look of the full-scale rig. It's going to look awesome when you attach that trailer and get them both weathered up :thumbsup:

excellent work!

Awesome work. I have always been impressed by the talent that goes into model building

I have finally finished this model. Here is a view of the entire heavy equipment transporter with an M1A2 Abrams on board.

After looking at the last photo, I realized that the front tires on the trailer were not touching the base. The sets of wheels are independently suspended. Here is a second photo with all of the wheels down. In setting up for this photo, I accidentally knocked one of the antennas off of the tank. I didn't take time to re-attach it until after finishing the photo session. It is now back where it belongs.

Very nice set! Great work! Now for the weathering which is one of my favorite parts of a project.
