Would LOVE to see a 6x6. Or maybe a M1117 Armored Knight?
Does anyone cast/make those IFV wheels?

Hello fellow fighters....ok so here is the final color cause the other was to light. The first to green. I don't want to paint it desert tan. So...
Sooo thats the color....stay tuned for more....
PS Thank you guys here at the 118th for supporting me and encouraging me. Also for another front page piece. The next rig will be complete scratch build.
pps just some other one mulling around in my head....
This one is my fave if I was to do another 4wheel version....the coolest electric one so far IMHO...
Ok ok ok....I was studying Rick's proposal of the stealth blackhawk....I think I could do it mabey leaning towards scratch....
How bout an Osprey....
Oh, yes...there's a 1:18th RC version that could make the process easier...

That's the final outside paint, wash, and gloss coat. Going to flat coat it and add mudd. After I repaint the radios and monitors inside.
Hellow fellow fighters...here's the last set of pics until I make a little dio....I thought that a nice clean look was mandatory for a nice build, and on the other hand I LOVE the dirty used look....
Ok guys If you want one pm and we can talk...
Very, very nice. This was the one MRAP I never got my hands on while I was in Iraq, so it is the one I'm the least familiar with, but I am a fan of Oshkosh, and I watched them get this developed in an unprecedented amount of time in order to get them shipped out to Afghanistan. I must admit, I was hoping the conversion would have been a little more straightforward (i.e., within my abilities), but it is all the more amazing to see how much work went into creating this. Simply amazing work.
Hellow fellow fighters....due to many requests on other sites that I posted this link to, here are some shots with soldiers in them. I wanted to use Joes but I didn't have any approprate ones for the shots.Honored sir to have a vet here, espescialy on my thread, yes the conversion wasn't even straight forward for me as I stared at it for many lengths of time before I made a move. Even then I fucked it up bad 4xs. Dilligence my friend.
Anyway folks, I want to go on to the next project. It will be very simple small and cool. I'll post here in the customs thread like always. Stay tuned for more...........
