Fantastic build, PE looks amazing, as does the stowage. Out of curiosity: what did you use for the PE? Super glue or Gator Grip?

Cheers,

And the prize for biggest jewels of the day goes to Vriez for for choosing THAT as his 2nd attempt at PE. I am using the stuff for years and wouldn't go near that one. Of course I will use the, "I don't build modern."excuse. Whistling

Beautifully done and a well deserved award.

Outstanding, a very realistic looking build and I agree, mind numbing PE project from those photos!

Congratulations on a job well done.

Very nice. The stowage looks great, love the "Keep Back" sign in arabic on the back. As for the slat work....outstanding.... as for the fun of the build....sometimes the patience can out weigh the fun but the end result makes it worth while.

Rounds Complete!!

The finished build sure deserves the award Toast Your GF sounds like a keeper... saving the dog and a wise suggestion to cover Fido's deeds. That tarp looks right at home there. If you had said nothing, we would be none the wiser. But that PE looks mind numbing to say the least. Indifferent Bang Head Nice idea to use the ammo can as a display base Yes

Trumpeter stryker w/slat finished!

Posted by Vriez on Friday, November 11, 2011 5:28 PM

This is my first stryker completed with eduard slat (only second time EVER working with pe... It was not fun to say the least), blast model stowage sets, legend rhino, mig traffic cones, verlindon razor wire, and several scratch items. Also, a funny side note... the RWS is covered up because it dropped to the floor during painting, and my dog got ahold of it. Needless to say, there was not much left, I was LIVID with my dog, but my g/f came up with the idea to put a tarp over it. Feedback welcome! I entered it into my first model contest a couple of months ago and was pleasantly suprised by a 1st place in wheeled. It was up against a lot of amazing works, I didn't even expect to place to be honest. Also, sorry for the bad pictures, they were taken with my cell phone the night before the contest (and one after) it's currently on display at my LHS, so I'm not able to take better ones yet.
