Wow, this is very nice build. I just purchased this kit from a friend, so I'm definitively following your thread. Keep up the good work.

Thanks all

For my Buffalo I use my own OIF/OEF colour (mix from Tamiya paints, desert sand, white, yellow and brown)
Sorry no proportions.

I apply the wash with a fine brush all around every reliefs and wash the excedent. That take many hours !!!




My Buffalo is equiped with red & green CREWS Warlock system.

Looks good Pascal! I like the way the tires look. Your Buffalo has been a big help for me to complete mine.

Hi Pascal,

your buffalo looks great.

The AK interactive color looks the same than your mixes on your precedent models !

How did you make the antiskid surfaces ?

I wonder where you got that idea from...

Your Buffalo looks great. I am looking forward to see the completed arm. Do not forget the exhaust staining on the arm and upper portion of the cab. Are you marking yours as an A Company Vehicle??

For thhe anti slip surface I use the same technic as used for the MaxxPro :



For the M-ATV and Maxx Pro I have used the Brown wash from Mig prod. The 2 washes colours are very similar; The AK is a little easy to use.

The WARLOCK-Green is a programmable, passive IED jammer
The WARLOCK-Red is a programmable, active IED jammer

This system is a predecessor from the CREWS Duke system.

There are 2 Smith antennas on the roof, and electronic compoments inside the cab, but no more detail are available.

Very nice work. I too would love to see how you use this weathering products. I mostly build jets and my weathering technique is very simple for doing a jet, but you armor modelers put a whole new meaning to weathering technique. So, please if it's not too much to ask then do share

@ Alex
Just apply the product in 1 or 2 layers with a brush. Paint is diluated with tamiya Thinner, and non slip zones are delimited with masking tape. very easy !!

@Mike
Its is difficult to explain this technic without pics, but, sorry i can't take pics when I work.
With a very fine brush you need to put a drop of wash product on to the surface. The product flow in every hole by capillarity. Then retire wash that is too much for a good look with thinner. That's long time consummer.
