Retired Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share #26 Posted April 21, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Meatcan Posted April 22, 2012 Share #30 Posted April 22, 2012 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! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share #39 Posted November 25, 2012 I have finally finished this model. Here is a view of the entire heavy equipment transporter with an M1A2 Abrams on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share #40 Posted November 25, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
