Description
The lowly airport tug. We've all seen them. I decided to do a Google search and pretend to want to buy one. I found this fabulous photo of one parked on a city street, in a residential section. Now that surprised me and I wanted to emulate the feeling of one of these bad boys, these horsepwerful carts with no brains, these... airport tugs! I found the Hough 500, the biggest baddest tug you can buy and park in your yard.

NICE TORUS TIRES....fuller machine..
Wow! That's pretty cool. Looks alot like the one I drove at the airport when I was an aircraft mechanic. Those suckers can tow a 747 with plenty of power left over for gunning it across busy runways, lol. Great job modeling this!!!
Oh, yeah! Aliens APC Armored Personnel Carrier! http://www.inetres.com/gp/sf/aliens/apc00.jpg http://www.inetres.com/gp/sf/aliens/apc09.jpg http://www.inetres.com/gp/sf/aliens/apc07.jpg
You are too wild Jim! Lol...this is crazy and such cool modelling! Parked on city streets? Reminds me of the guy that stole a tank and went on a joy ride through town. You'll have to do that next.
Love it this is an outstanding model and your way of displaying it really adds to this piece. Excellent work of art
hey, I'm building something similar for my mech bay, great minds think alike :P
I'm a mechanic at San Francisco Airport. Those babies are locomotives on tires, no horn needed.
Fantastic work....and all done in bryce too!....excellent! And the reflections really add to the image in a great way.
How cool! I work at the airport as well. Flight Attendant....well done
Super cool! I used to drive that bad boy and most of its baby cousins. Really well done.
Looks about right to me. Cool idea Jim!
Really great modeling job!
Cool modeling and render.
Sah-weet!! Love it!! And I love the ground texture too!
I use to work at San Jose Airport. I miss driving on the tarmac with these bad boys. I always thought they were designed for midgets, 'cuz they're so low. You inspire me, so inspire on! Bro'
With todays gas prices, you wouldnt catch me dead buying gas for one of those. Fabulous boolean work, or modeling for that matter, but even more impressive in Bryce.
Nice model!! Great modeling. Well Done.
