Finally had the chance to finish off two long-term projects, a Bronco V-100 Commando armored car and the Trumpeter M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle.

The M1117 is box-stock, while the V-100 has a heavily modified interior, including scratchbuilt turret interior, turret basket, comms, etc.

While I was working on these for the recently-concluded MP Campaign, I was not able to finish them in time for the end of that campaign. Preparing to deploy, and not a lot of extra time laying around at the moment! My other MP vehicles can also be seen on the link.

Thanks to Havoc for the encouragement to keep hitting on the kits as time permits!

Nice job on both! I especially like the Guardian - I don't have that kit yet. I like how yours came out.

Thanks fer the nod, M75, but you did all the work, my friend. Great to see the finished product(s), especially all that detail you packed into the V-100! In fact, your progress on your duo of armored cars is actually inspiring me to get my V-100 finished.

Keep up the great work, Jim. So, what's the next project...?

Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

Johnny, I think the next MP project will be my first MP ride, the Mk IV Brontosaurus, at least according to my First Sergeant!
