Well here it is!

Had to finish it today before heading down to Texas for pre-deployment training tomorrow. Therefore it sports the Australian barrel instead of the Barrel Depot one which hasn't arrived in the mail yet.

NIce work on the AEF Designs' kit. Too bad you didn't have time to add the C6 to the turret.

Can you give a quick run down on the stowage items you used?

Have fun in Texas.

Thanks for the support troops!

I'm trying to make the C-6 and mount from the MLM Leopard C1 conversion work for the LAV 3 but ran out of time

Hopefully when I get back I will add it to this build, and you never know, MAYBE someone will develop a Canadian LAV 3 figure set (I know, wishfull thinking).

cheers

Looks real purdy!

Keep you head and butt down low. You don't need another hole in either one!

I really like the look you gave the kit. I just drove through a couple of the training area's at Bliss and saw some of your brother in arms putting their vehicles throught their paces. I also saw one being towed back along the road to base camp.

Quoted Text

Can you give a quick run down on the stowage items you used?



The U.S. duffels, cardboard boxes, water jerry cans, water bottles and the blankets and rear rack above the door came from AEF Designs as part of their "Canadian kit" set.

The camp cots, and air matresses are from Tamiyas modern US equipment set.

The IMP box in the winch hole, tires and the signs are from Real Model.

The A-Frame is from Dragons M1A1 Aim kit.

The stretcher is from MLM.

The stowage hanging on the right side is from Academy's Merk 2.

The concertina wire is homemade from bug screen from a window.

Cheers from sunny Camp Dona Ana, New Mexico
