Looks pretty darn good. Interior looks great and base green too. That's a lot of detail in that kit, and the PE is a plus. I have the AFV Club stryker kit somewhere. Will have to break it out someday.

Thanks gents
Rob I've heard the AFV club Strykers are superior to the Trumpys, but never having built one I can't say
Glosscoat has been applied and should be cured enough to pinwash by now. Am departing to the bench to find out.
Regards,
Mark

Crap! Now I really want to get a kit like this but I have too many kits and I haven't finished something for a year! Looking great by the way!

Thanks gents
Gary I chose the 43 because it's a single stack, therefore less chunky and noticeably lighter than the double stack subcompact Glocks. I have a 20 and a 40, both in 10mm but I've never fooled around much with a 40S&W for some reason.
Regards,
Mark

Good work so far Mark. I’ve had the same problem when I get near the completion of a model. I sometimes just sit there wondering what to do next. I remedied that frustrating “zero time” by writing out a “to do” list. That way I’ve got something visual to look at to establish an order in which to get the last bits done. To help out with the order I’ll create a word document and PUT everything in the order I think it should be in. Sometimes I’m surprised at how long the list is. Lol

I've got a spiral notebook that I use to organize projects, plus a sheet that goes into the kit box that lists paint scheme, markings, aftermarket, etc.

All good ideas. The major stumbling block I have right now is how to incorporate all three vehicles (and the donkey) on one base without it getting too large and cumbersome. Every other day or so I'll put them on a table and push them around to various positions but nothing has grabbed me yet. In time no doubt
Regards,
Mark
