M1008 CUCV Complete

[cjanderson]

Finished the M1008. Probably things I could have done better, but will consider this a pilot build for

fiture ones. Hopefully can get diorama it's going to be on all done before the show in Detroit this weekend. There were some challenges, but for most part, not too bad. I think it turned out alright and hopefully the recipient will enjoy it. Thanks for all the support. I almost forgot the push bar. That was all scratch built and took up a good chunk of my time

Extremely well done! Having worked on MANY of these trucks and their relatives, I can say you got the details perfect! The color, weathering, and all of the little details that make it fit the military's requirements are nailed, perfectly! NICE JOB!

Thanks Tom. Was flying blind on a few things. Had to dig into memory banks

Love it! Looks just like every retired real one I see occasionally roaming around. There's a guy in the town I went to High School at who had one of these along with its Blazer counterpart. Very convincing in every aspect!

Nice job!!!! Looks great! I noticed it only has one back up light, is that something the military did?

no. It was a piece of white decal paper that popped off. I replaced it.

Ok, I see.

Thanks for the idea for the white decal for the backup lights.......................I was going to try to paint them on my K3500 build, but the decal works SO nice!

[cjanderson]

Any time.

Nice job on that. Have photographed a few real ones at military vehicles shows with the thought of doing one someday. Glad to see someone else had the same idea.
