Thanks for posting Henk...The Stryker engine looks huge.

I really like the HMMWV passenger figure. I sure wish I could do figures. I'm horrible at painting them.

That should put to rest the question on quality issue posed a few weeks ago. These do indeed look awesome. Painting guide to be included.

Well that certainly silenced any doubts I had Rob! Looks absolutely awesome, detail looks very fine and intricate and should paint up well. Guess I better get one to go with my D-toys interior.

Figures aint half bad either

The engine looks awesome. I'll have to add it to the "To Buy" list.

I see Luckymodel is really out to ruin me financially, now they should do a conversion for the Assault Breacher. Having just assembled their Tusk 2 I was really impressed by the quality. The timing of the Enigma is ideal for me, again. I almost scratched half of it...

Should be about two weeks, although I'll probably post up some pics in a few days.

I'm trying to see if it's not too late to have them redo, or add an additional arm to the TC, so that he's using a stylus, like this dude:



Note how we moved everything back so the driver has better vision to the right front. I'm doing this on my HMMWV's models as well. Now the guy in the right front becomes a window licker.

These look great, the passenger figure is perfect for the Bronco M1114. Thanks for posting these Henk

@Rob: Do you have anymore photos of the equipment in the back seat. This seems like a nice touch for my M1114.

Not much to see except ammo. We try to keep most of the room for it, and less urgent stuff goes in the trunk. Note how everything gets secured. Don't want ammo boxes becoming missiles if the truck unexpectedly goes airborne.
Also note seat backs removed.

Cool pictures 18Bravo. Just curious on that last one - why did they pull the rear seat cushions? More room for guys w/ body armor? Also, what is that CPU type box (the one with the two cooling fans) that is behind the ammo cans?

Question 1.
Yes, for the most part, my team was made up of corn fed boys.

Question 2. Top Secret! Actually, it's our jammer. We used a different system than most that required no big Duke style antennae. We did not run the Rhino either.

It's unfortunate because it makes our trucks less appealing to model.
