Congrats on finishing your project Sebastien. It turned out great. Good job. If I should comment on anything it must be the way your stowage is secured. I think most of it will fall off at the same moment your truck goes off road...
Only thing left now is to fill it with a mean looking bunch of SF guys.

A really nice job on that one. It really has that special forces "been living in the vehicle for weeks" feeling around it
Is the gatling gun artistic license or do you have that from a reference?

I really like the "lived in" look that the truck has.

Dear All
I am happy you like it
the machine gun is pure artistic licence, it looks better than a M2 or Mk19

Dear Seb
As I said before - a brilliant build, something to be really proud of; especially so given the difficult medium (vac-form) that you used. Excellent, work - congrats.
Keep it coming.
Cheers

All you need now are some 1/35 scale quad bike outriders and you'll have the makings of a great dio

Looks superb Seb! Looks like a mean looking machine and I love the weathering, its just a shame nobody produces a decent kit version of this vehicle, some of the ones seen in Northern Iraq covered in all the jerry cans looked way cool.You have done a superb job though.
That resin stuff that Dirk made-is that going to produced for the market? Too my knowledge none of those items are included in any pro art sets but they are pretty usefull for modern vehicles, especially the laptop!

Well Rob
i have a 2 good news for you, it seems that Das Werk will maybe produce a M1078 in resin for Late 2007 and for the laptop the digital camera and the new radio and the GPS receiver this will be also avaible for late 2007, but you can ask Dirk
