Coming soon, a reissue of the M37 fuel and water trucks. Although there were M37 variants, notably a dump truck and a wrecker, there is no evidence that any were ever converted into liquid carriers of any kind in the real world. I thought it would be a fun experiment to see what they might look like, and came up with this duo. And who is to say some enterprising engineer or Seabee unit somewhere didn't cobble together something when the needs of the service called for it? The first round proved popular enough to sell out, so I tinkered around and improved version two here and there, and they will be on sale in the near future!

I finally got around to printing the M1123 HMMWV Heavy, and WOW!!! I've been printing for a number of years now and I have to say I am blown away by the detail on these 1/87 scale prints. If you look, and ignore that little bit of flash I missed on the spare tire (oops!), you can see the caps on the jerry cans. If you're insane enough, you can probably count the number of lug nuts (no, I didn't!). This isn't the right color paint, but it's what I had on hand, and I wanted to paint a couple just to see what they'd look like and boy, howdy, am I ever impressed with myself! For now, I'm waiting for the right color paint to show up so i can paint the rest and get them listed, which should happen shortly.

Back in stock in the Nelson Modelworks eBay store in 1/87 scale, the Deep Sea Divers figure set! I had needed some deep sea divers for a diorama I was working on awhile back, and try as I might, I couldn't find any suitable ones anywhere. So I came up with these guys. They're available unpainted, and once finished will look great in any harbor scene or on the deck of any industrial or salvage vessel.

Now available in the Nelson Modelworks eBay store in 1/87 scale, the Cletrac mini-tractor! To give you an idea of how mini this min-tractor is, the diver figures next to it (sold separately) are approximately 6 scale feet tall. Cleveland Tractor Works (hence, the name Cletrac) produced the Clark Airborne Bulldozer during WW2. There are currently no versions of the Clark available that I could find, so this and an upcoming dozer version, may make a suitable substitute until one becomes available.
