Tony: it's the Trumpy kit. only AM i'm going to use is Armoured corps continuous loops to replace the molded on loops.

Sean: it's pretty good out of the box and for the couple of little questions i had on parts placement Prime Portal helped with that.

RJ, That is flipping amazing!

Huypham and Sal, Good starting points.

Sal, Did you prime the figures or are they from a conversion?

I guess I should probably get some picture of my progress posted soon.

Tony,
The driver was primed. the 1 standing was sort of primed and then handled a bit while the primer was still damp. He was suppose to be in the front passenger side but I want to make him manning the .50 cal. Found a extra from my Sherman build to go in the passenger side. Sprayed it up yesterday so no photo yet, but I can say its verry green

Progress on the A2



A few Verlinden bags, Blast update, was waiting on Legends tire set, which cae the other day. For those who might not know, Legends tire set includes a spare and a blank tire / no wheel, it doesn't show it on the picture as listed in the contents. They also seem like the treads a little exaggerated, but no biggie.

Mark, Interesting kit. I guess that will work since it has wheels and it has tires as well.

Hey guys !!

I've made a lot of progress on my M8 Greyhound in the last few days, the hull is done and I've built up all of the sub assemblies for the Turret and gun etc.

I need to clean up the resin wheels (with chains) I have.

Pics soon :-)

Cheers

Huypham,

Nice work! You and Lucas are running laps around I still have not finished the bottom of my stryker.

Make sure you load a picture of your completed LAV in the gallery. If you have any problems let me know.

Slow but steady progress, ITS VERY GREEN, used the paint I had left over from my Sherman build this past summer and tried to dull it a bit with brown and yellow. Guess I didnt add enough
Photobucket
hopefully with some washes and filters it will dull some more
Photobucket
I used Badger AB green with some black, brown, and yellow added, I guess it wasnt the best choice
Photobucket
I plan on adding some extra cargo to it so most of it will be covered.
What do I use for the antenna's ?????

Overal the Bronco kit is great. The PE-Stuff comes from a Voyager-Set. I hope you like it.

Sven,

Looks cool. Did the wheels come with the Bronco kit or from Voyager?

Thanks Toni.

The wheels are from a Quick Wheel Set, containing the sagged wheels, the hubs and a Stencil to paint the wheels. Overall they are great.

Been working on my Stryker kit and finishing up the bottom. Somehow, I managed to break an axle. Seems like every kit I need to repair something! I should be able to fix it though.

Ok here is an update. Added a black wash to tone down the bright green, figures need a little more work
Photobucket
I took the photos on a MiniArt Church base to see what it would look like
Photobucket
Just need to add the cargo, those antennas and a dusty wash/weathering.
