Stryker M1131 Trumpy kit

[TRM]

I am still waiting to hear from Richard about the K4 line. I did talk with him last week and he was close to getting catalog listing of what he has now and when and where he will offer. I will try and e-mail him tomorrow morning.

I think this is why that Rust-n-Dust comp is a good thing. You can see a lot of different applications. Draw from this and TRY!!! There is always room to learn more....always!!

Test beds!!! Find and old car or tank and just keep priming, painting, weathering and then strip it and start over!!!

The rust competition would do great for him... have you inform him about it?

one of the problem that he may encounter is the shipping overseas... especially some of the postal service is kinda slow especially here in our shore I had to wait more than a month to claim the kit.

Ild go bonkers waiting that long, you can always try it out on sracp styrene, just glue bits til ya have a shape then paint an weather it away

We have Pics!!!!

Was in the art store yesterday just looking as i was in town, So i picked up a new sheet of paper card stuff, And boy is it way better than the black.

This box was a B* to bend because on the side u cant see it dint have a crease for one bend and it ended up snaping off so i had to glue it back together, also in the pic is the wire cutting thing, there is 2 more of them on the etch to be made.



Next up is the drivers hatch and bits around it,


This is the winch i beleve so ill need to add a rope or some cable that runs to the front



Smoke launchers should be spread apart i beleve, But num nuts that i am never checked it before hand. also is the storage bins


Lights and were the tow cable gows.


Some kind of winch thing, i replaced the coper wire with some fine tow cable i got from Rbmodels a while back, and i was sorry i did, The copper would been easier to work with


And the towing bars


hope you like the new bg.

Looking nice and clean spud - I didn't get that piece of PE (the box) in my kit :-(

It was one of the missing pieces that made it so cheap. That and the jerry can holder mounts were missing.

Spud, nice details!!! Great job!!! The construction very clean and the photo etch looks awesome. The blue card makes a difference for sure showing the kit parts clearly. 8) 8) 8)

Myke the Box thing is an option so if i messed it up it wouldnt be a total loss

Tanker thanks man

RbModels have cool stuff

I'm just havin doubt shipping it here to my place. it takes a month or so to arrive... sometimes it doesn't as per a friend told me...

 

[spud]

you can get rob models stuff from lucky model, i linked the rb models stuff there, as for it not ariving then i can only assume it got lost, ive never had a prob with ordering from rb models its cheap and bloody Awsome
