Thanks gents.  I do like how it turned out.

Great looking finish Gino! Inside and out looks top notch. Bravo! 

Great job Gino! She turned out fantastic!!! 

Thanks PFJN2.  It was a fun and rewarding build.

Hi,

That turned out great.

Thanks Gamera.  I hope to have an update soon.

She's coming along beautifully Gino! Kudos sir! 

Thanks TigerII.  I like how it is coming along.

This is a very nice, clean M6A2 Bradley. Glad you made the newsletter.

Thanks Steve.  Without your 3D designed and printed parts, it wouldn't look this good.  Kudos to you as well.

Brilliant!

I got some paint and the decals on it this weekend. All the decals are custom made by me on computer decal paper and my home printer. I marked it as A23, 1-3 ADA, 3ID as I showed above.

Here it is so far.

Here is a close up of the “Psycho Ward” name and logo.

And the actual one.

I was able to take the above pic and strip out the actual logo using PowerPoint and its embedded picture manipulation software. I was able to strip away all the sand color and other items and was left with a black and white image that could then be sized appropriately.

Thanks Capn.  The new 3D printing is awesome.  Steve and a few others are really doing great work on products that are very much wanted/needed.  

That build is getting better and better. 

Steve is such a great asset to the modeling community, too.

Thanks Gamera and Pawel.  I haven't seen the newsletter, but I guess it is a good thing.

Aaaand... You made it to the newsletter, Gino! And rightly so! Congratulations and good luck with the painting!

The Stinger box looks cool! Nice work on the added details! 

Thanks gents.  I am liking how it is coming along.

I have decided to mark it as “Psyco Ward” from A BTRY, 1-3 ADA, 3ID, and now at the ADA Museum.

It was destroyed in OIF and rebuilt by the museum as a tribute. Luckily, the crew walked away from it.

Thanks Pawel.  I hope to get some paint on it soon.

Lookin' good! Ain't 3D printing cool?

Good luck with it and have a nice day

I received the Model Monkey parts and they look great. I cut them off the trees and only had to give them a light sanding to smooth them out. I added them to the turret without issue.

Here they are.

I did add a bit of sheet styrene and a few boltheads to the IFF Antenna Mount.

Next up will be paint.

Thanks Pawel.  Yup, its getting close.  The Model Monkey parts look great and should be here by Mon.  

Hello Gino!

Nice progress on this one! Good luck finishing it, looks like it's close to being finished now - and have a nice day

Thanks Gamera.  I like how it is turning out. 

The Model Monkey 3D printed parts are in the mail. 

1/35 M6 Linebacker Stinger Missile Launcher Box, Mount and IFF Box | Model Monkey (model-monkey.com)

I will probably have another update next week as I will be out of town over the weekend.

She's looking sharp Gino! Love all the exterior detailing and the added stuff on the interior gives her the 'lived-in look' that really elevates the model beyond the ordinary! 

I have had quite a bit of bench time this weekend. I continued work on the M6A2 Linebacker.

I filled it up with gear in the back. I added personal items such as a canteen, magazines (Maxim and Hot Rod in the back; Sports Illustrated in the turret), bags, water bottle, etc. I also added water boxes and MRE boxes down the side of the turret. Various other items such as ammo cans and water jugs fill up the back.

I personalized it with a Kevlar helmet w/a 3ID patch on each side as well.

I also added a few bags, a map, and a magazine to the turret. I forgot to take pics before closing it up though.

Once the interior was done, I closed it all up and added some more details on the exterior. For the turret, I used some PE from a Voyager set to correctly close off the top of the gun mount. Only the center section actually moves. The rest stays in place and is closed off w/PE plates. The center one is wrinkled to represent a fabric cover that moves w/the main gun. The coax gun moves within the shields and has a slot to allow this.

I also swapped out the kit ammo can holders on the back of the bustle rack with the newer, fiberglass/plastic molded ones from a Kinetic sprue.

Lastly, I added the tie-down blocks to the armored side shields from an Eduard PE set, 36 in total.

Here it is overall at this point. I am ready to add the Stinger box and IFF antenna to the turret. Steve at Model Monkey should have them ready soon.

Now I wait to get the final parts to move on to painting.
