HEMTT M1075 PLS w/M5

[Captain Caveman III]

Hello guys' In the GB section I'm starting a big scratch build of an heavy M1075 PLS/w M5 Concrete Mobile Mixer. After hooking up with some good friends. I have line drawings showing me just how to rebuild the suspension of this M1075. Now the reason I want to build the bad boy is the size. Like my ABV project. I like big modern armor. An I can show off my scratchbuiling skills.
Here's a photo of the bad boy in NATO camo.


Now I'm going to build it as the version that was in Iraq. It helped build schools and the new US Embassy in iraq.


I'll be using the Reissued Italeri M977 kit. I have alot of scratchbuilding to do, so let me get to it.

Caveman,
Quick question:
Would you rather I merge the two topics you have going on this?
Save confusion for those watching the build, I think

 

[Captain Caveman III]

Well seeing that I'm building this thing in the Armor GB. I'll end it here and let you guys know that I have some progress photos and that I will post them in the War wheels GB forum. Here's some photos to look at. So go on over to the WAR Wheels GB to see all my new progress from it's start.

Nice start so far...gonna be one hell of a model when done.

 

[Captain Caveman III]

thanks I feel that seeing that I will have all that scratchbuilt detail, I should have the best and most detailed chassis possible. Now I'm not going to post any more photo's here, seeing that I have this same type of post ongoing in the WAR Wheels GB- that's Group Build.

 

[Captain Caveman III]

I'm sorry that I have not been working on this project as I have had some serious health issues. Any way here's some work. The detail work of the 3rd axel.

 

[Captain Caveman III]
