This is where I am now, only remaining things are the barracuda and the weathering.
Very nice and clean build Cagkan! Congatulations! One question: how do you plan to simulate the barracuda camo??

@Matt,
Thank you, this method is promising, but I think it needs more development, maybe one of the big companies will do something like that. In the meantime, I will try this again with different tracks.
@Aristeidis,
Thanks a lot , I will use this for simulate the barracuda..

Yes, lovely Guardian!
Posted: Saturday, February 02, 2013 - 04:16 PM UTC
Yes very nice yufkey!
Well I keep making more work for myself I managed to lose all 8 of the grenade launchers so I had to scavenge some from my HobbyBoss Leopard 2A6Can kit. I cut them off the bracket then drilled two holes in each one and added a small piece of wire in each hole. After that I added the PE chains and glued them to the center block. Now I just have to go do it all again for the other side.
Cheers Rob.

Looking good Rob.
I'm tempted to do one of them and use US Stryker decals...can't understand why there isn't one in the range. Or an AAA version....

Well I presume that's a Canadian or Aussie LAV. I'm thinking of doing one of them but putting decals from a US Stryker on and make it look like part of an American Stryker unit. They're basically the same vehicle.... just as a sort of what-if build.

Let's get on the ball people.
