Hey so I have started plans and designs for the International Force Protection Cougar MRAP 4X4, They are in 1/35th scale and I'm looking for a few people who know this amazing truck better than I do (i.e. if you build them or drive them everyday) to look over the plans and drawings before I get the final plans worked out and build the prototype, If you can help drop me a email or post below, anyone that helps and wants them can have a copy of the final designs and plans, the only payment will be posting your finished models so we can all see the truck all finished.

Thanks to "Mother" for the pictures so far and I'm hoping for more to come from others, Google Images can only get you so far.

You're off to a great start. The depth of the side window may be a tad too deep, I'll have to check and let you know. I definitely like it so far.

Gotta like old school modelling! I find the angular shapes of this generation of MRAP lend themselves well to scratchbuilding. Thanks for building it - we'll be sure to see one in resin or styrene now!

Great Great start Luke
Impressive quality flawless and good luck with the suspension

wow thanks guys, this is just the card mock up sorry about the images, i'm new to posting images, if anyone can send me more images of the underside of the truck that would be so helpful, im planning to make a styrene one then maybe make a few resin copies for a few mates who have seen the drawings and want to build one.

Aww and all of the work has been done in my college dorm room, we can model anywhere..............

What else do you need ??
MRAP under belly pics are hard to find due to OSPEC Luke, I had the same issue with the Bushmaster until I saw it in RL and took pic of the beast.
Maybe if you are luck,y Frenchy will provide with them.
Cheers

Great start to an interesting project

i will get you some pics today or tomorrow

Underneath shots aren't hard to get. Before doing walkarounds for my CDs, as a courtesy I always check with the the shop HMFIC, and then that unit's S-2 rep. Nothing under there is classified, it's some of the stuff inside they don't want you to see...

Hey thanks for the under shots where can I get one of your walk-around CD's??

Not alot happening with the Cougar this week as I am filming all week, but a guy on the site is hopefully looking at my drawings to check the sizes as he builds the real thing everyday, so I will post more pictures and maybe a few finished drawings later in the week.
