I'm amazed by the amount of detail on that hull. Looks great Chris :)

I was a bit wary of adding the weathering to this, I knew the look I wanted but wasn't sure how to go about it. Finally just went for it and I'm pleased with the result.

Still a way to go, wheels, when I can find them, stowage and possibly a figure.

Excellent subtle weathering - well done!

I sort of had the same issues with my BA-10 a while back. Seems like armoured cars are just a little more difficult to "get right" than tanks.

Closing in on the finishing line, for the Stryker itself at least :D Resin wheels from Real Models.

A last minute rush to try and finish this off by the end of the year :oops: Made a small road section base and added a figure.

Image

The base needs some sides cutting, painting and fixing.

Image

Image

The figure is from Legend and the digicam is decals from Cross delta.
