Anton,
As I said before, great job. I did notice that the larger water bottles need to be tied down, as well as clipping the weapon in place. Those images of the Cougat interior show the ammo cans, EOD robots, and other items tied down with ratchet straps. Even the rucksack is secured with the five point harness. This keeps the items from becoming missiles in case of a violent explosion. Same would (or should hold true) in the Buffalo.
Awaiting more pics.

Small weekend update on my build

Hi there,

It seems to be coming together quite nicely.

Cheers,

Duncan

Very excellent work! Looking forward to see more exciting photos!
Cheers!

hello! Thank you!

I looked at pics and understood, that I don't like rubber skirts. So I rebuild them a bit yesterday

Small update. Hope my buil is not boring for you.

The interior is fantastic. Truly a work of art. The extrior is a perfect job.

Nice work Mate! It looks cool, also it looks like a modern version of the Landwesser thing that the German's had.

Hi!

After a long honey moon I primed Buffalo with Tamiya primer.

Hope you like it.

Look really good TaLib
I hope to see it painted soon
Good honey moon Congrats also for that
Cheers
Seb

Great looking build. Those SA armored vehicles are very unique their origins are sketchy but were making more positive use of them now.

The Buffalo is only somewhat based on the hull of the South African Casspir....but it was actually designed and built in the U.S. It is not in service with South Africa.

The concept of the V shaped hull is not unique to South African vehicles....V shaped hulls have been in use since WWII and lot of different nations have used the concept.

There is actually lots of info available on South African wheeled vehicles on the internet.....Casspir, Buffel, Mfesi, Ratel....just gotta dig it up.

If everyone is bored with tan here's a French Buffalo.

Thanks Bill
The brown patches are not identical and tend to decrease since the guys at the workshop were running out of brown paint.
The ladders on the side is to avoid obstacles to get underneath the vehicle.





And with the slat

Hope I'll find time to make base paint this week

The cabling and articulating arm is very impressive. Thanks for sharing your work.

Jason, than you for kind words.
I was impressed by Milo's Leo, so I decided to finish Buffalo as fast as I can to start CND Leo2A6.

P.S.
