Watching this closely.

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

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!

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!

Image

Image

The PE was tough!

Image

Image

Image

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

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!

Image

Image

Image

These are sooo tiny!

Image

Image

Image

Image

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

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

Image

Image

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

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

Windows were a PITA, but I'm happy!
Image

Image

Left the tools off So i could detail them!
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

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

Image

Image

Image

Image

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

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!

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

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.

:cheers2:

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

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!

Image

Image

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