    Well I finally got the truck assembled. All that is left is final sanding and painting. Here are the updated pictures just then: (the rubber band is to hold the doors on for the pictures. They will be glued on once I finish painting the inside of the cab)

    Thanks. The tail lights are done except for paint. You can see them on the end of the bumper. I hope to have all the parts finished today ready for final sanding and then painting. I am going to add the rope between the front shackles after the painting is done.

    I still have to add the shackles inside the bumperettes and add the tail light. You will see a lot more detail by the time I am finished with this model. I am waiting to paint the inside of the cab before installing the 2 doors.

    Me too! I made those for the Willy's Jeep model. Made this set at 80% size to better fit the truck. So delicate I had to be extra careful to sand and handle.

    My new hobby: Wood military vehicles

    Found this one before, but it's not even close to the M37 you want. The designer makes some cool model plans but I always have to modify them to make the vehicle more like the real thing. It's annoying but it at least gives me a base plan to work from...

    I made some progress. I got all the cab parts installed and built the truck bed. I also smoothed out the layers of the truck body.

    My new hobby: Wood military vehicles

    I downloaded some plans for building a Kaiser M-715. The designer took some artistic license and changed some of the features. I like building my models as close to military look as possible. I downloaded some pictures from the internet to help me modify the plans and come up with a much...

    Here is a Metro Spartan Fire Truck for all you first responders: It took longer to paint than build, but came out great.

    That's cool! I am using the DeWalt DW788 scroll saw. I am getting the top of the line saw tomorrow. It's a Pegas 21" scroll saw. Will be selling my DeWalt saw setup once I get the new saw set up.

    Thank you for the compliment. I really appreciate the feedback. You know they say anything is for sale at the right price. I'm thinking of doing an MRAP soon.

    My new hobby: Wood military vehicles

    Thank you for the compliment. Right now i am not building any for selling. Not sure it's cost effective since it takes me a week or more to build a model. That's 12 hours plus per day. They are approximately 16" to 21" long. I like the larger scale models. Here are a couple of non-military...
