    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...

    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.

    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...

    My new hobby: Wood military vehicles

    I got into scroll sawing about a year ago. (My retirement hobby) Somewhere along the line i decided to build some model cars out of wood just to add some variety to my scrolling. I ran into some cool plans for military vehicles.

    LOUISIANA PROPOSED NEW LAW : HB 549 Provides for Military Surplus Motor Vehicles

    I appreciate Sen. Hewitt’s help with this especially since I am in her district! She really came through for us on this matter. The senator's office kept us updated as to the process and asked us for input along the way. They get an A+++++ from me for effort.

    Gen 2 light / Alternator trouble fixed the hard way

    I have a CUCV that was sold from a fire department in Mississippi. Someone wired the 2nd alternator (passenger side) reverse polarity and blew up the battery and really messed up the wiring. I replaced the alternator with a new one (not reman). I replaced all the bad fuseable links and any...

    goldneagle's M936 Wrecker recovery and restore thread

    The truck had standard 11.00-20 tires originally. The 14.00-20s do not fit behind the tool box on the M936A0 truck. The M936A1 and M936A2 have a narrower tool box to accommodate the wider tire storage behind it.
