Started a new armored vehicle to join the MaxxPro in a future diorama.
A lot simpler than the MaxxPro from Bronco and easier to assemble.
Will try to make it better with a proper weathering and therefore watching videos on how to achieve good results.
Recommended readings or videos and ideas are welcome.

Nice!
... so jealous of the interior details... I usually have to research for days, just to find a knob, dial or latch for my ww2 truck dashes!

 

[GCB]

Hahaha! This is modern vehicles, so easier...

Looks great and the interior work is stellar. I really enjoy the modern armor.

 

[GCB]

Thanks Calico.. Will post new pics soon.

Some progress and ready for painting (primer done).
The boards (or whatever you call them) are not really nice and a pain to fit, but done.

Paint, decals and varnish done.
Doors are temporarily fitted. I will remove them and glue them in an open position.
Remaining: weathering!

[GCB]

Yup, looking great. Can't wait to see what you have in store!

Looking good

 

[GCB]

Cheers!
Starting to think more about the diorama with this one and the MaxxPro. As my past dioramas are in desert terrains (Pave Hawk, little bird), maybe will do this one more green, with the barn, grass and tree.... New challenge!

Question for you guys: on the front winch, are this red shackle and thread look real?
Should I keep or leave the winch without anything..?
