Trumpeter 1/35 M1133 MEV

[Medicman71]

This is the Trumpeter 1/35 M1133 MEV Stryker. I love the Stryker line of armored vehicles and with this one be medical, I had to do it first. It's my first ever armor build and it actually won 1st Place in the "Armored Car and Half-Track" category at my local show. It'll be at the Nationals this year.

Thanks and no there wouldn't be organs in the cooler.

Such a great build in every aspect Mike and I can see why you won with it. I’m looking forward to seeing you Medicman71 at the Nats and that goes for you too John keavdog. It’s going to be pretty neat to see you guys in person finally.

Oh very nicely done. Your award for this was very well deserved! I'm sure that this project has a strong chance at Nationals.

John, I'll bet that the cooler is full of Red Bulls, Monsters, or some unauthorized refreshing beverage   I've spent enough time with Medics helping to run Drop Zones to know how they think...

Really nice build Mike! Congrats on the award and hope you do good at the Nats.

Too cool especially that it fits you perfectly as medic man! I wish I can attend IPMS Nats so I can see it and everybody! I happen to have one Stryker kit in my stash but it is by AFV Club and I had no idea that Trumpeter also makes those. I hope AFV Club kits are that good?

[Medicman71]

Thanks guys! I was shocked about the win actually. I beat out two others that usually win everything! This was my first ever armor build so I had no clue on how to weather it. I did pretty subtle weathering since it was a medic unit.

Oh and Stik you're right, there's Monsters in the cooler.

I can't say how the AFV kits are Andy. I've never gotten one and I haven't seen many reviews on it. I wish one of these new armor manufactures would do some new tool Strykers. Most Strykers have a different hulls now that have more of a V shape that the flat ones depicted in the kits.
