In my opinion, decals aren't needed. A basic invasion star on the hood would be as far as I would want to go. If you were to put a USA along with a registration number of random numbers on the...

Very well done! The top turned out great!
At one time we didn't have a mock up M2 to sight in the remote weapons system, (RWS) which utilizes a heavy barrel M2 Browning. We would have to check out a M2 from the government armory. Our mode...
The Browning 30 Cal is right on the money. That is the smaller of the two machine guns used for the machine gun mount, with the other being a M2 Browning .50 Cal machine gun. Fun fact, we still use...
The wheels were called combat rims. They were two piece rims that allowed the tires to be broken down and changed without having to wrestle with the tire itself. Unbolt the nuts, rim comes apart...
Blitz buggy boredom fighter?
Killroy, as in the WWII graffiti Kilroy was here.
Just a couple of name thoughts.
Agreed. It has to be a labor of love.
That will work just fine.
I am highly impressed with the detail and the functionality of the manual wipers and the pop out windshield. It would be near impossible to fab up a tiny hinge at the top of the inner frame. Not a...
Looks great! Love the detail.
Might need to print a scale Pelago in uniform, surrounded by the dancing girls. Then don't forget Jake the Retriever.
Multiple printers going on at once.... If you charged admission, we would pay to sit and watch the parts coming to life. Looks great as usual.
I inherited a Tucker Torpedo model that was put out by one of the premier auto modeler companies that you see in the back of magazines or Sunday paper. It isn't in the same zip code to the amount of...
In time, he will be able to print out a running miniature Go Devil engine. Looking great on the work done. I love the front axle details!
But with nobody arguing who has the better design....
Looking good BB. Just think where technology will be in another 10 years.
Looking great! The bearing idea for the wheels is classy. Your attention to detail is first class! The Rover turned out wonderful. Well worth what you have invested, and could easily get a return...
The drawing looks to be a 2A. The windshield is taller on the 2A, by about three inches compared to the MB. You are correct, the fuel cap was under the driver's seat instead of through the body....
BB, please keep the information coming. We tend to be a little old fashioned in our thoughts, but it is good to learn something new everyday. This is definitely outside of our wheel house, but...
The field fix was to add a helper spring to the driver's side front leaf spring pack. The fix was known as a side torque reaction kit This helped to reduce the deflection of the spring during heavy...
You are correct. The stud is fairly close to being centered on the axle, with the pumpkin, or ring and pinion gear housing being on the passenger side. The picture is shown from the front looking...
A little history lesson from the archive of near useless information. The steering bell crank on the MB and Ford GPW were not mounted to the frame cross member like the 2A on up. It was mounted...
This is a very interesting subject. Modern technology at its finest. Good work!
This is an M38 frame with the machine gun mount. The mount didn't change much from the MB to M38 all the way to the M38A1
Yeah, I would have to have a set of jack stands as well, then it would really look like our 2A in its present form.
