    GMC 6x6 2.5 Ton Truck —Shaun Sullivan
    Hi All, As promised, I finished up my GMC truck and took pictures of it this weekend. Known as the "Jimmy" and the "Deuce-and-a-half" (for its 2.5 ton rating), this workhorse was instrumental in all theaters of WWII. It's not an overly intricate (...)

     Shaun! Good to see a new model from you. As alwas you succeed in making a very inspiring creation. The last weeks everyone seem to concentrate on the ISCC contest. Have you submitted anything yourself? Regards Mattias (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.military)

     (...) Hi Mattias, Thanks for the compliments. Unfortunately, I didn't submit anything for the contest, though I wanted to ... the timing just worked against me! I finished up several larger projects just before the contest began - and the entries (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.military)

     (...) Very nice Shaun. Excellent rendition of the front end, would also go well on Jeep. Take care, Gary (23 years ago, 6-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.military)

     (...) Hey Shaun- Nice work. One "trick" that I've found that works well is sticking regular housewire *into* the technic flex tubing-- that way, one can shape it to virtually any shape one wants and it holds. That way you could get a more (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.military)

     (...) <snip> Neat truck! (...) If you have to ask, it's impure. LOL. Put it another way... does it have a LEGO part number??? Didn't think so. However my standards have slacked a lot lately, I printed up signs on sticker paper for my ISCC entry. :-) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.military)

     Nice work, shuan! A device is everywhere seen for tubes of the loading platform, front mask, fender, etc. Since "GMC 6x6 2.5 Ton Truck" was indispensable to WW2, I also want to make. However, since your work is wonderful, I'm satisfied. Tosiaki (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.military)

I think you've captured the military feel of this vehicle very well indeed - if Lego made models like this I bet they would sell like the proverbial hot cakes. I really (...)
