Hi all sign me up i have the AFV CLUB M1130 TACP version to do oob sounds like fun

Pete, that is a really cool Stryker! Pimped up to make a unique and highly detailed Stryker.

Looking forward to see the final result

Anyone know when the MGS from AFV is coming out? I want to do that one, except as I am sure you all know, it isn't out yet.

nothing so far and i am dying to get my hands on that one. i even reread the reviews last night to see when it may be out but not one word on it yet.

Geez i totally forgot about this campaign... 31 days late lol... Gotta get started soon...

I started like a ball of fire and then real world committments popped up. I'm on a weeks vacation so I hope to get some serious stuff done..

Here is my Academy 1/72 Stryker. Not quite yet finished, will add some antennas. I just saw today that Legend Productions put out a stowage set for it... a bit too late .

Brett,
Looking good, I really like the weathering.

Just started up a blog on my progress so far. Won't have all that fancy-schmancy slat and extras though , just going to fix up the Trumpeter kit a little - well, maybe some stowage. When's the deadline supposed to be again?

Hi Folks:

I know I am not in the campaign, but I am building a Stryker RV using the Real Model conversion set and when I saw the above photos I was concerned about the fit I would have when it came time for me to fit the RV upper hull to the donor kit lower hull. In studying the AFV Club upper hull I noticed a lip is present and so one needs to create a lip on the Real Model hull too. I cut the real model pour plug along the obvious line, and then turned my saw bit 90 degrees to create the lip along the inside face of the hull. Real Model has a step on the inside to help create this lip.

Could the lack of making the lip in the above photos be the reason for the hull being too short as above? See my attached photos. My hull is fine. Also, these are just test fits and the upper hull and rear plate (E1) fit fine and here are held on with no glue. I just need to do some detail sanding and a little filling after I glue this on since my slicing was not perfect.

I know my kit is an RV and the above example is a LAVIII but I have the LAVIII too and the pour plug area is the same.











I will start a separate build blog since I am not in the campaign.

The problem is that I am living in temporary housing w/ limited resources, and this will be an all out project including slat armor and all the other in-country details that go with deployed Strykers - so this will probably go deep into 2009 for me. It would be fun to be part of the campaign but I think I will have to stay on the outside looking in.

Bob

Understood, I'm personally enjoying this build, lots of practice for my next campaign...

hi everyone,
I just getting started on my 1/35 stryker M1126 (ifc) by trumpter I'll hopefully start a Thread and post progress pics as soon a figure out how to post pic and I get into it a little right now everythings still in the box.

those builds sre looking really great. i am about to send 3 other builds to the paint booth 2 for the fsm site and 1 for this site. but i have a question about the stryker. is thier any other type of paint scheme being used on this? i wnat something a little bit diffrent that the green that we are seing.

I´m currently building a Stryker in the vehicle forums. When it´s finished can I show it here? Because I'm no member of this campaign.

Lars

got a quick question for everyone. what brand of paints are you using? i am a die hard model master user and most of the kit calls for mr. color paints. i have most of the shades in the mm line except for a few of them in the mr color line and i was wonderning is all the colors that they list used on thie model? i have the afv 1126 stryker.

i use italeri paint euro dark green

how much hair you got left. looks good my friend

well i have 32 days to get my m1126 8x8 icv all done. i have only a few more things to do on a 1 1/2 ton dodge truck for a gb on fsm and thats just spraying the future,add the decals, weather it and put a flat coat on it and its done. sol it should only take one more day but can i get the stryker done in 31 days?.

I posted a couple pics of my stryker in the photos gallery it's in the album stryker project haven' got the hang of it to put the pic links into forum yet
