[semijoe]

hope everybody had a safe and a wonderful holiday

today I made the fender light buckets and installed the lights, they work great

[semijoe]

today I started on the roof mounted search lights, basically all scratch . im using .040, .060 styrene and clear .010 styrene , the light bucket is from the rear bumper of a king hauler . the driver will be able to rotate the search light from the inside. I will add lights later

[semijoe]

today ive added some aerial antennas

[semijoe]

cant wait for paint and the round styrene to come in so I can finish the roof, should be here Thursday

so in the mean time, I will get started on the bumper,i was able to mod the king hauler front bumper mount for this part

next I using a solid 1/4 x 3/4 inch alum bar for the main support

next I made the hydraulic arm support

here I start wrapping the alum with styrene

I didn't read through this whole thread, so maybe this was already answered...

but what exactly is this thing supposed to be? I'm not trying to be a wise guy, I literally don't understand what sort of vehicle this is.

the truck is a military MRAP (buffalo) . there used in the iran, irag etc, by our military for detecting anf destroying land mines , also a troop transport

basic bumper is built

[Harry P.]

Oh, ok. Thanks.

[semijoe]

1st I notice the bumper was sitting 8mm to low , so I had fix that will quick. ive added some side orange refecters , a ladder and started on some kind of unit that mounted on the top bumper, im thinking its some kind of hydraulic block

[semijoe]

today I started on box that's mount on top / center bumper, not sure what the function is, so I was thing maybe hydraulics or electrical . any way here it is. also made the right head light with working door
