M8E2 Cargo Tractor

[wibblywobbly]

Aaahh, well that was the reason for the build, I bought a big box of bits of Ebay for £50. I was amazed at what was in there, it was a scratchbuilders dream. lol.

As there was a Pershing lower hull I just thought hmmmm...

Well now that I have finally finished the build, I thought I would take some pics outside so that I have got natural light on it. It makes all the difference to the way the paint appears. It now has an RX18 in it, and plastic gearboxes, but I need to get some batteries for the HL tx before I can get it running.

Great job on the weathering. Waiting to see it move like the other folks. ;o) Dozer blade too!

Your wish is my command, ...except that as it front wheel drive, fitting a working dozer would be a bit awkward.

Great video, so much fun to watch. Next challenge, make a bunch of cargo for it and then drive it in the dirt on video!

If I knew how to cast my own resin moulds it would be a start, it's all a mystery to me...

Thank you! Heyo, how about crates out of ice cream sticks, etc.?

Ice cream sticks! lol, on my models!

I was more thinking of jerry cans and ammo crates with the tops of shells sticking out etc. There used to be loads of that sort of stuff on Ebay but there is nothing at the moment, I need stuff like that for the Bulldog as well, so I will just have to be patient and see what comes along.

Don't be an Ice Cream snob. *chuckles* I built the front stowage board for 'Maxene' out of a couple of popsicle sticks and completed the HL crates with them as well. I hear you on the patient part.
