The Duke's Secret Santa Build...

Post by Duke Maddog »

Okay, now that things have calmed a bit, here is the start of my Christmas present, the M-1134 Stryker.


First was the hull which went fast since Dragon had already molded the suspension on the bottom:

Then I built the Anti-tank Guided Weapon turret:

This is where it is now, almost all assembled minus a few of the more breakable detail parts. This little thing is ready for paint already:

That's all for now, it's gonna be fast! Thanks all for looking in.

Quick build, and an easy paint scheme… CARC/NATO Green. :hmm:

Looks great!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thank you Carlos! Yes, based on that I expect this to get done fast!

Thank you Lyle!

Thank you Mike! Me too! I now need the other two variants if they would only show up in stock!

Nice! They haven't released those versions in my scale yet, but you can be certain I'll add them to the collection once they do!

This one's going fast Mark!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

That is looking good!

I have a fixation with Strykers, yet have only built one in my life. Go figure.
