Real Nice there Myke !!!

Judging from the Orange N Red Ramp Stickers...  your Vehicles is based in Germany     I saw plenty of those while stationed in Germany !!!  More common on Bundeswehr vehicles...   and US vehicles stationed there...

Very cool weathering effects on the BOLTS !!!   I like it very much !

Keep up the good work !

Germany eh? I had no idea. Good to know. Thanks Norm!

Teaser shot.

 My first ever armor build is almost done. I'll have it finished and posted tomorrow.

[schweinhund227]

Well Myke.....  Let's put it another way.....     Its provenance could have been.... From a US base in Germany.....    Vehicles and Personal are being requisitioned from around the world.....and Ammassed in large motor pools for furtherance to Active theatres....   a truck is a truck is a truck....  LoL!

See yeah!    And I love what you did to it!  Awesome my man!

[TRM]

Exceptionally well Myke!!!   First time armor virgin???   Great work buddy!!!  Looking forward to the finals!!

[fumblethumbs]

Fantastic job here Myke!  Totally realistic finish you have going on.  I'm blown away Myke...Awesome work!!

[Myke]

Well I thank you all very kindly for following along on this build, all the kind words, and for helping me along with my ignorance. It's taken a while to finish it but..., it's finally done!

Before some final shots I thought I would share this little gem of a product.

I bought this for the "Disco Ball" on my BlackHawk on last years Spring Contest, Thankfully I had plenty left to cover the Stryker





Anyways.., here's the final product.












Lots of firsts for me on this build; first armor build, first completed kit of 2012, First use of AKI products, and a ton of firsts that all pertain to weathering armor.
I'm addicted now though (as noted by the haul I pulled in from Blizcon last Sat), and I'll be back on the armor train really soon.
The next one I build will be much much better too!
I'll get some outdoor shots of it as soon as the wind and snow dies down. The florescent lights I use don't really do the colors any favors.

Thanks again for following everybody, and thanks to PA007 for putting on the group build.

Cheers & All the best.
Myke

Awesome job on this, Myke.  Your stowage looks soooo nice!

Dang..., thanks fellas. You guys are all too kind, and have brought a big smile to my face. I didn't think my first armor build would be received this well.
Thank you all for your support and generous words. Love being here on SMA!
