So, found a guy on shapeways that already had M1101 in bigger scale and setup an 8 pack for me in 285. Sadly these are important to the project and I needed them.
Found everything else between solo pieces and doing a little kit bash, so, I'm excited.
Next step will be display.

Nice! Now you need to post some pics of your unit on here as you build it!

Chris,
The M105 Trailers (what your first image is) would have worked.
The second are HEMAT trailers, way too big. Those are primarily for MLRS reloads.
Your 3rd pic didn't work out for me.
Nash, I have some on order from Shapeways. If they don't work, I'll hit you up.
About the only things I have to put together are the rare shelters that these units would run. Maintenance shops, and similar.
I've got a plan to create the MTV Wrecker. I'm going to go to the local miniatures shop and see if they have some of the material I may want. Hopefully some sort of precise saw too. I just did a mass paint, and the display case I found on amazon arrive today. Next up will be tan paint for a different set of vehicles and then tires, windows. They maybe some weathering.
After that, I plan on painting the base of the display case, and then I need to figure out the labeling for the platoons/shops/sections.
Hopefully the shapeways order will be in by next weekend and I'll be able to fill in the rest.
I did buy an extra set of JLTVs to see if I can experiment around with converting them to the "2 seat version, but I'm thinking that's not going to work due to the interior/underside gap. We will see.

Bike,
I showed the first group of unpainted so you would know product out there.
The HEMAT trailers are my work. Got idea from a friend, mine are a bit different than his.
For the JLTV, an idea, put styrene or index card cut to size. Put/smear glue over the index card after glued in for stuffiness
