You just need to stay away from those evil trees...

I know you'll pull out of it, you love building these vehicles way too much to give up.

guess I'll build ! waiting ondecals for this one,have one more in the works which will be a custom bash,and three others in the works gotta do something !!!

In case anyone is wondering the color is BC Rail light green by TRU-COLOR Hardest part was bending the mirriors as it is to spell it !!! here is a tip I find that it's eaiser to bend and install them then prime and paint,nothing worse then to ruin a great paint job with glue,if you install after painting I would use Micro-Krystal clear, besides making great windows it cna be used as a glue and it will gicve you a bit of "Bounce" if some lamebrain "MUST" pick it up at a show to "LOOK" at it

Don't strain yourself - that'll slow down the recovery process.

(I know, you find building relaxing, but...)

will post more pictures I hope,enjoy

Good old GHQ bobcat with trailer,always fun to build and fun to bash as I did in the second picture,I need to order more platting I like it I hope it goes over at the swap meets

The trick to cutting GMM deck platting is use a 9mm blade and have the wife do it !!

unable to mask the wife cut some out for me using plastic!!

yeah the chain is a wee bit to big,but it adds something to it I think?

Much older GHQ kit think its #58-001 funny thing is if yiu build the fire pupmer you'll have the pipe holders to do this,Tricked it out with a Chep pallet and a Sunrise 55 gallon drum also will be adding a shovle,pick ax and a bucket,Added the grill and winch from the "Parts Box"

GHQ cherry picker truck with a bash,painted in MRL blue I messed up on the front windshield and the right light,I just need to add the cones and some more detail parts.
Only draw back to the double baskets is that I had to omit the longer ladder.
