Found these pics today as well. When this model was built it was the first armor model I had assembled in over 25 years. Of course, it couldn't be made OOTB. Oh no, that would never do, it had to receive about 300 machined brass, aluminum and styrene goo-gahs and fiddly bits.

I'll say one thing ,If you didn't say this was a model and just showed the pictures some may think this was a real vehicle,myself included.Beauty full model and great workmanship.

Wow the details on these is amazing! Very nice.

Great and realistic weathering - beautiful craftsmanship - especially to the wheels.

Man that looks killer.

I think you are a genius to make something like that from scratch. Extremely talented and it shows.

Got more stuff to show?

The model is only about 1/3 scratchbuilt while retaining the basic hull, suspension, gun/shield, the big shapes. With kits I like to remove the molded-in details and replace same with machined bits.

Thanks, but, I shoor aren't no genius.

Gold hands ! Congratulation and again

Your work leaves me speechless. I love what you did with the tires... the weathering. My sincere compliments!

Your took the words right out of my mouth I love the details in that model and the helmet in the background that is an awesome way to display it.
