Turret arrived yesterday, detail and cast is damn near perfect except for one air bubble on the turret ring. Not much work yet, still have a M1117 guardian in the way and the kit is missing PE and instructions . Lower and side skirts on way from HK, hopefully no problems there. Slingshot conversion release date pushed back again. Next post will most likely be in full build mode.

Most of my progress right now, cant do much without miniarm's instructions, I can guess but some things aren't do-able. Going to build an Arena "v2" more faces and more angles of coverage, its also smaller, sorry for the poor photo quality.

Current progress. Going to pick up when that M1117 is finished, got some more parts one their way and Miniarm's Slingshot conversion is on its way! With the second picture I want to add the base turret ring to the resin, how would I go about doing this? I was thinking plaster of paris to fill the "void" and then put some rods in there so the turret ring had something to stick to.

More work today, this is going to be the SOB (straight object blade) between the rollers of the KMT-7 and the whole assembally I am going to dub the "KMT-11 S" the Guardian is complete and the only work left on that is the base, a guy, stowage, and weathering, then it is full speed ahead on this untill I'm waiting on parts....but then it will be work on the guys!

Part one of the anti-IED/ Jammer/ A.P.S. suite, the Ivan I.E.D. jammer, its a Humvee long range antennae (I think) mounted on a DUKE base

Glad that you're able to start working on it Nick. Nice work distressing the plow blade.

If I wasn't already, the pe would drive me insane! The dozer blade is very good! I may try that on my Stryker's dozer.

Thanks Guys!
Ive stalled....a lot, a combination of the PE and Resin has driven me insane. Having some trouble with radial bends and the superglue doing what I want it to. Any tips?

Any updates on the slingshot? I'm interested in seeing where you are at.
