Hi,

Here is my first trial to paint a stryker from Imprint model. Superbe model but fragile!!!!

just finished the "Weathering" and now thinking about fixing a home-made slat armor.
I use a 50/50 mix of valejo intermediate green 70891 and usa olive drab 70889





cheers,
Nobunaga

Sweet looking ride man .....Mikey

Are yo going to add the castle armor and/or sniper netting?

Hi!

As i am far from a specialist, i was just aiming to do a something looking like that (more or less ):


Not really sure how it is called.


Do you have picture of teh "castle armor" and "sniper nest"? i couldn't find anything on Google

That is a slat armour kit one of the first ment to lessen the abillity of RPG rounds to take out the vehicle.
The" Castle " is just a modified Gunners protection kit with 3 ballistic shields added to the left and right edges of the top deck for additional protection to those using the back deck hatches .
The anti sniper element is a steel frame that you can hang a tarp or cammo netting over it makes it harder for snipers to target crew members but also provides shade from the sun.

Great! Most helpful!

Is this the castel thing?




and this the sniper nest?




Not sure i'll be able to do that for this model but i will see for the two next.

This is the "castle " or GPK

This is the GPk with one of many versions of anti sniper kits Note the weapon mounted is non standard and looks like a 240b/c 7.62mm Normaly a M2HB is mounted.

It's interesting how we wargamers "have to" a lot of things!

I think that you could do something nice from thin evergreen plasticard strips and army painters poison ivy drybrushed with some sand color.

Well the plastic card would never be able to mimic the look , fortunately GHQ has a slat armour kit but the GPK and aniti sniper netting (canvas is also used ) can be done wire and tissue paper.
The gunners protective kit if i bother would have to be done in paper card and would take along time tho if you used the kit from the tusk and just added a shield it might work with some surgery...

Nobunaga - yes to your first picture. And yes to whoa mohammad as well. Though the sniper netting for ours used fiberglass poles. The metal stuff kept cause the netting to catch fire when we drove under power lines. And someone on here found a way of doing slat armor that might work for you.

Dougie made his own slat arm in 20mm and then had it manufactured I think.....Mikey

Imprint models look great! Was there an option for the top-mounted machinegun included?
