I have been want to build this model ever since it was announced... and I did.



Go to http://picasaweb.google.com/lopicma/M1117Guardian# for he rest of the series and to see the photo I used to reference this wacky paint job.

Mark,

Cool build! Who produced the kit?

Inquiring minds want to know,
Tony

Trumpy is doing the kit
Great build and nice paint job Mark
congrats
Seb

As mentioned, this is Trumpeter's new (smell the warm styrene) M1117 Guardian ASV, kit # 1541. Very easy to build because of lack of interior.

Grate paint job, do you have any pix of the rell 1:1 vehicle?

Thanks,

I only have one picture of the vehicle I modeled, and I posted it on the link. It was on a Picasa image search that I found it. As for the others, I have over 180 photos I found online, plus a few in books and magazines around the house. I have a fellow modeler attempting an interior from scratch, so I posted all my interior shots here for him to use:

Most of my photo reference comes from Google image searches, Picasa, Bing... Prime Portal, and Toadman are always fist on the list as well.

Beautiful build Mark and a very interesting color scheme....

Cheers,
Sean
