It's been a slow modelling summer what with school holidays, work and going over to the UK for a couple of weeks but normal routine is starting to kick in now :roll:

The Stryker itself is finished now, the blade is progressing although slowly.

Only another 12 individual blades of 8 parts each left to go ;)

So the paint and decals are on :D Just needs a coat of floor polish to seal everything in and I can start the weathering.

Looking good Chris. This vehicle with its raised headlights makes me think about JarJar of Star Wars :lol:

I hadn't noticed that before, I'm thinking WALL-E from the Pixar move of the same name!

It's been a while since I updated this but I have been working on it. The dust and dirt are a mixture of buff oil paint and Tamiya buff. I have added lenses from SKP and anti-laser coatings to the periscopes from AFV Club.

Image

It was looking a bit bare so I searched out some stowage to add to it.

Image

It still needs a figure and a base cutting as well.
