Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO! It's.. It's...

Dunno, what is it?

Where's the gun?

very nice hooky lifty thing!!! i want to make a larger H.L.T. for the hemtt pls
after seeing your i might

That looks awesome. I didn't even know it existed. I guess you Brits have really bought into the M993 system. I wish the US Army would do so. Great job o it so far. Keep us posted.

Awesome work as usual. Always love to see the master at work.

Brilliant stuff... Great scratchbuilding... Are you gonna include the rolling thingy that ensures the pallet goes onto it's back smoothly?

So you had to build it...
The vehicle was a prototype built for the Norwegian Army. Only one was built and the project was binned due to bad off road performance.

Looks great btw. Looking forward to see it finished.

i noticed in your video that the pallet thingy moved around a little , i was just thinking that some guides might keep it from moving side to side , just a thought

WOOPS Nice looking beast!! Is it 1/35? Just out of interest, what are all the red lines on the print outs for? Thanks, Nick

Yep 1/35th scale............the "red lines "-----------------perspective guide lines .........allows "sectioning" of areas to be worked

Hi Steve
Thanks for the info. Nick

Hay this is an old post but well engineered, grate work here and a cool suject. If any one like me art going to build one of the old M-977 HEMTT Trucks. Will need to look over this guys work...

Yep ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Steves work has been my inspiration for the stuff I try to do. He always amazed me by how quick and simple he made it look.

A few things he did teach me was work on what floats your boat ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, measure twice, cut once ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if it looks about right to yourself and you are happy then go by what you see !!!!!!!!!

More importantly HAVE FUN !!!!!! Such a nice guy with loads of time to pass on his wealth of knowledge.

Good to see his work is not forgotten.
