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 model, but I'm pleased with the results:

Interestingly, the DUKW amphibious vehicle was a GMC 6x6 truck of this sort
with a boat hull attached.
Thanks!
Shaun

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 (...)
