some of those are really fabulous. How long did it take you to build that HEMTT ?
If I ever scratchbuild another 1/16 scale vehicle, it will probably a HEMTT as well. Maybe after the summer...

Magnificent models(as always ). When do you find the time to be so productive? That is a serious mountain of work.

Thanks for sharing,

The unpainted models were made between 1992 and 1999 where I was making them as freelance modeler. I made 25 models in 1/16th scale during that period as a contract with a Gov. customer before I was hired by them as a full time employee in 1999. It took an average of 3 to 4 months per model, I had to be productive because it was my only source of income with 2 kids, a wife and a mortgage. During that time too, I was also running a small resin company (TAC Scale Dynamics) making aircaft accessories. As you can see I barley had time to build my own models.

Hey Kevin.

I did make the M-113 (ACAV) I just don't have pics of it unpainted, it's all coated with evaporated aluminum. I actually used the suspension and running gear from the Verlinden kit.

Thanks again guys.

Best and happy scratchbuilding.
