Stowage!










Some great PE for detail!




Decals and bits!


MRE Packs!

Pretty straight forward!

Wish me luck!

Watching this closely.

They all look great kits and I have aspirations to get them all over time.

THats a lot of parts , going to look good when its done.

[Filmman586]

Got the lower hull done yesterday! Went together fairly easy, boy are there a lot of tiny parts! Actually thought I lost one part. I was pretty upset, looked for it for like an hour in the carpet. Went upstairs to grab a drink and it was stuck to my head! How the hell did it get there, no clue!

[martin57]

You made me smile lou , i lost a part once looked all over and it was stuck on my jumper , so i had to laugh when i read your missing part was on your
head
any way good progress looks a good kit .

[Filmman586]

Thanks Guys for all the great comments!

I finished up the lower hull yesterday, I'll move on tho the upper hull sometime this week!





The PE was tough!







Below the PE are the lights, I'll add the lenses at the end with the final knick knacks!

[Filmman586]

After 2 days on the upper hull, this is my result! The PE work on this is definitely time consuming! But I'm loving the results!







These are sooo tiny!









Hopefully I'll finish this weekend with the upper hull! Loving this kit!

[Jack]

Looks like a great kit so far, keep up the good work

[Filmman586]

After some quality bench time, she's almost done! Some guns and PE shrouds left! Really enjoying this kit!





PE went on great!. I've snapped off the telescope about 5 times already!


Turret! Alot of little parts, and I managed not to lose any so far!


Windows were a PITA, but I'm happy!




Left the tools off So i could detail them!


















Alot of work went into these canons and tiny parts with my big fingers!










Hopefully I'll get to primer by the end of the week!

[schweinhund227]

Wow ! You are sure flying on this one !!!

KUTGW

[Filmman586]

Thanks Norm! It really goes together well. I get on the bench and if I have the time I'd like to keep at it!

Very impressed with the kit!

[Filmman586]

Build completed! On to primer next!









Loved the way the gun turned out!












Here's my YouTube post too!

Love the stryker mate! One of my favorite looking vehicles.
Your kit looks to have alot of fiddly bits. Much more photoetch than the AFV club that's for sure. I built the M1126 by AFV club and soon want to collect all the variants

Keep it up!

[wookiee76]

Great build fella, another kit to add to my list! Sometimes a little over complicated and fiddly does you good.

[Filmman586]

Primer down! Pre-shading next! Just love badger primer! Goes down so great!

[chief5437]

Great progress buddy! nice work. Looks like a great kit too

[Filmman586]

Pre-shading done on the M1127!

[Filmman586]

Got my base color down last night as well! Very happy with the progress and outcome so far! I went with Medium green!

[schweinhund227]

Awesome work !!!

Man... it makes me want to start a Stryker so bad !!!

[Filmman586]

Thanks Norm! I'm loving it!

[plasmahal]

Top notch work there Lou.

That pre-shading looks fantastic.

[Filmman586]

Thanks Plasmahal!

[MarkVerploeg]

[Filmman586]

Decals on, next seal them, then weathering!

[Filmman586]

Some weather done this weekend!

[alextheblue]

Love the look of these things and you've done a fantastic job with all those detailed parts - looks the biz. Especially liked your pre-shading and it really adds to the base coat colour.

[ahaleman]

Very neat build. That medium green looks dark but I guess is the contrast with the light in the background.

[Filmman586]

Weather done on the M1127. I'll add some pigments to the lower hull and road wheels, but she came out real nice. Love this build!





gonna add more weather to this part, just not enough to match the rest of the vehicle.

[gaz45]

very nice detailed work there mate looks great
