A friend of mine serving in the National Guard had mentioned that he was a Bradley driver, and on my return to the hobby I thought I would build him a braille scale Dio of him and his bradley "Free Enterprise" ( I made that up, but he would name a bradley that, being a sarcastic star trek fan ) and bought the original M2 with none of the ODS or OIF modifications. After looking at all my reference pictures and after kicking myself I started the work... only to find out he had moved up and now drove an MRAP and was a full fledged combat engineer. Stupid me, I was trying to surprise my buddy. But anyway this is my current progress.

ImageShack.usI've got it blue tac'd together for now, so I can disassemble it for paint. The applique armor I made from plastruct sheet, as I have 25 4 foot sheets
I still have to build the additional applique armor and the interior, but I'm not worried as I have good reference and two bottles of zap-a-gap and at least 8 good fingers not zap-a-gaped together
