I am late to the party. Count me in too! I am trying to understand what is the ‘soft' fabric wrapped around the truck bed and for what purpose? It is Kevlar to resist RPGs.
"The walls of the box are protected on the side by several layers of Kevlar. There are a few inches between the Kevlar and the sides of the truck to absorb most of the impact and shrapnel if it is hit by a rocket-propelled grenade"grambo.us/atav/iraqarmor.htmThanks man! I learned something and it makes sense now. |

This is looking really good. It makes sense to me to go with this scale vs 1/35th. It's smaller and leaves room for more, lol.
Awesome!

It really has great details for that scale! I would have guessed 1/35 if you didn't tell us.

Beautiful work! I won't be installing the rear view mirror until the very last, otherwise I'd end up breaking it off five or seven times before calling mine done.

No way that is 1/72! Where did you get the really large bottles of paint and glue?  |

I use a lot of paint.
Thanks!

Echoing what has been said, but with the small refinements you are making this look huge in comparison to it's actual size.

Dude, that rocks! Just what I'm hoping to achieve on mine. I doubt I'll come close, but wow! Thanks for the motivation!

Man, you’re doing some awesome work here. As the others have mentioned I’m in awe at the way this looks and have difficulty reconciling it with the scale. Fantastic stuff

That is some right excellent painting Terry. It came out perfect and really looks the part. Very impressive indeed.

This is looking really good. Do you lighten your NATO camo colors in this scale to keep them from getting too dark with weathering? I feel like I need to start doing that.

OK between this and Duke's build of it I have decided I need one of these in my life. Are 1/72 armour kits still 50 cents like the last time I bought one?

I simply cannot believe what I'm seeing in this small of a scale Terry. It looked like you're working with a 1/35 scale subject until I scaled it against the paint and glue bottles behind it. Details are second to none and paint work is bringing this little sucker to life. Beautifully done so far good sir.  |
