Looks great all around, nice work with the weathering.

Joe

Looks fantastic.

very nice work Keith, have you considered sending in a feature to Armorama or entering the DMoM with it?

Looks very good sir.

Two small comments: You're missing the winch cable, and the step rings on the wheels are normally only on the front left wheel.

One question: Tell us more about how you did the straps. It's my biggest flaw (but not the only one) on any I build.

Cheers,
Sean

NIce job Keith, looking good. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers -

Nice work, like the weathering, great work on all the stowage.

Rounds Complete!!

Sean, this is an early Stryker - predeployment - since the DVE is not in the production position next to the driver. Trumpeter also got other well documented items incorrect for a production vehicle. So, building it out of the box as Keith did here will entail having all 8 wheels w/ the wheel rings on. Also, the winch can be displayed "rolled up" but in that situation the head of the cable would still be laying next to the winch drum, or in the case of the attached photo next to the first pulley, which I do not see on the model. Keith can still fix that easily enough if he chooses to do so. Also note the wheel rings in the same photo.





There still seems to be confusion on the wheel rings. It is okay to depict all 8 up until even the 3/2's second deployment. New Stryker bdes stopped using them only a couple of years ago. So, it would be correct to display all the wheel rings (or some missing from use) in certain time frames w/ certain units.
