Buffalo MRAP..

[gotnitro?]

The Bronco Buffalo 6X6 MPCV ..an engineering marvel. I added the Lion Roar bar armor update set to model a truck from Afghanistan. The Buff was painted w/ Tamiya paints, weathered w pastels. The arm is fully plumbed w rubber hoses, wire, and metal fittings.

The ballistic glass was painted using Future floor polish and food coloring..2 drops of blue, and touch of green, mixed in a film canister of Future. The model won "Best Armor and Best Master Builder at a local contest

Super realistic. Very delicate handling of the details, right? Esp. the PE bar armor… that's insane

Beautiful model Jeff.

How was the bar armour etch to work with ?

Turned out really well

Thanks! Yeah...the model requires a steady hand to move. The cage is really solid though...not as fragile as it appears.

The cage set was well made. They include a jig to assemble the panels...and each one has a very small bracket that ties each one together. I hung them in groups of 4 panels.

WOW!!!!! That is REALLY unique! I've never seen one of those in scale!

Thanks for the comments! I should have mentioned the kit is 1/35 scale. For some reason photobucket is giving me fits transferring pics here, I'd show the arm and detail shots..

Outstanding job, looks so real, can not say I have ever seen one with slat armor before, I bet it takes just as long in real life to hang as it took to hang yours.
