Thanks Sisko. Here is one thread that shows the scratch building of a Patriot WIP : http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,27063.msg402656.html#msg402656

The other one you can see here: http://armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=1953

You are amazing, ti. I remember the first time I saw pics of the actual loader...never figured I'd ever see it in model form, though.

wow.

Thanks John. Trying to get it close took some time but the end results were worth it. It did not come out exactly how I'd expected it to but it looks ok.

Were there any other such kits that one could convert? There are so few non-armored vehicles to build. My nephew was in the SeeBees, and I might build him a dozer in olive drab.

I'm sure there are many such toys one can convert. It's just a matter of your creative mind

I will be looking forward to the one you will build for you nephew

Thanks. I was petty 'OK' with it after seeing the end results.
