I finaly got something finished and entered it in this months DAMOM!
Well here is Trumpeters 1/35 LAV-25 with Warrior's LAV crew up in the hatches. I used Eduards photo etch set along with Legend Productions, Hobby Fan, and Tamiya assorted gear. The water bottle boxes and soda boxes came from Gino and Urutu. The map on the map board and a pack of Camels came from me. The LAV, crew and gear was painted with Tamiya and Vallejo paints and MIG powders was used to weather it.














He a close up of the map board:



Some of that GI humor I like to add to my models to make them stand out just a little bit:

Was beginning to wonder where you've been mate. Love the busy look of the kit with so many stowage equipment.

Good luck in this months contest!

Pete, great finish! You must have extensively reworked that stowage if it's Tamiya! Great!

Waiting until the last minute, eh? I was seriously worried that you should not make it...
That is one amazing LAV Pete. I have saved your pics for references for when I start mine. Good luck in the DMoM.

I love the "For Sale" sign. Your digi pattern is great. Where did you get the M240?

Teach,
About 90% of the gear is Legend Productions. If I remember correctly, the sleeping bag was the only Tamiya gear.

Jeff,
The 240 came from Hobby Fans Modern Accessory set.
