Nice, while looking over the vehicle again I was wondering what did you use to make those straps on the back to hold the tire and such? Did you take any photos while making them? Sure would love to see as they look very realistic and natural.

Very nice work. I guess the Blast Models SPARK Mine Roller is easier to built than the Legend Productions one you used.

Nice paint work on all items.

Did you modify the suspensions heigh ?

I'm working too on a M1151 Academy and I think it is not necessary.
