Kelly Quirk Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 About once a year I'll do a piece of armor to shake things up, this is this years result. AFV Club kit, with aftermarket stowage and PE. Enjoyable build for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vfa127 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Nice work - Thanks for sharing! I've got one of these on the pile that I may have to dust off and get working on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre Freak Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Looks great to me! I was just looking at the one I have in the stash last night. If mine turns out half as good, I'll be happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Are you sure that the first pic is a model and not a real vehicle ? Regards, Gerard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyH Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 WOW!!!! Excellent build. I'll be doing that kit with the Canadian Conversion for it. If mine comes out half that good I'll be extremely happy. Right click save for inspiration Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
petebuilt Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Fantastic work Kelly. I like all of the "stuff" you've got scattered about. Great pics as well. Pete Brown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lgl007 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Holy SH*T.... I'm with Moritz on this one... cripes I thought you were first posting pics of the real thing to be followed by your build... MAN THAT"S SOME EXQUISITE MODELLING!!! Very nice. -Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Same here, I really thought the first two pics were of the real thing. Nice job. How come you didn't want to spend another $150 and invest about 200 hours to add the photo-etch slat armor? I'm the opposite, most of my stuff is armor, I just finally broke down and did a 1/35th Huey. Helo's are nice, you can grub them up like tanks. I just can't seem to get aircraft looking nice and pristine. Regards, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

venom1 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 It's been said before already, but I'll say it again! WOW! Thought they were photos of the real thing to start with!! :lol: If it wasn't for the lack of weighted tyres, I would have been totally fooled!!! Gorgeous work!

Kelly Quirk Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Many thanks guys! It was a fun project. I'm going to re-do the antennas though, I'm not happy with the stretched sprue I used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Wow! When I saw that first pic, I thought it was real! Big :wacko: to a great looking Stryker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
