Wow! I really like your build. The plow is impressive, and the weathering is very well done.

Great build Boudehen. Some very nice details ... on the stowage especially.
I think the weathering is a little over done ... too much of the base colour is hidden. It also feels weird that all the thrown up dust is white/grey, yet the wheels are weathered with an orange-brown.

Wow that’s a great looking Stryker, nicely built, painted and weathered. How was building the plow set-up, any problems or was it easy. Will you be putting onto a base?

Frank, his weathering is pretty close on…Stryker’s in Detail, part 2, page 85 shows a Stryker weathered up like his.

I agree with Joe on this one. Old mud and dust dry to a lighter shade than new mud, thus the two-tone weathering.

Outstanding work! Very nice and the plow is great for setting it off from all the other strykers out there.

Great job!

Very nice. I have the Blast kit too. Can you comment on how easy or difficult it was to put together? Love the weathering.

Wow what a great job all around. I wanted to know where did you get the coolers or if you made them how.

Great job, Can you help me find the model kits. My nephew is driving the m1132 in Alaska with the 25th Infantry, I serve with them in Viet Nam in 67. [email protected]. Let me know if you can help me. Thanks

Tony you can find the AFV M1126 Stryker just about anywhere these days, check your local hobby shop. For the plow system well you'll have to order it on-line. I don't know of a US based distributor that carries them. The plow set up is by Blast...

That plow attachment sure is impressive! Someone may have asked already but where are the Alpine figures? Will you be adding separate photos of these?

Great M1132. I really like the weathering, looks right off the sand if you ask me!

Does anybody know who else sells the Blast plow set? Seems Blast Models.com is out of them, maybe for good??

Thanks
