This is commission work for a customer ,with no intention to be semi mas produced i tough that it is interesting that flat sheets of styrene can be transform this way , as far as features all hatches open and wheels are turning which need to be modified and molds will be made for 8 wheels so I was wondering if there will be any interest from board members then I will produce few ,but it seem that that you all focus on F14 this days ,well I'll post pictures of finish model when done

Armor is little easier to make than aircraft, look just from a size point of view there is a big difference and there is less molds making and far less silicone,that said all pivots on volume of the orders Pickel said once that "if I find 10 buyers Ill produce it ",and that holds truth here too,well kit around $180 and finish one I guess $250. now how much you think customer pays for this one only one in a world as far as I know, there is over 200 hours invested so far and I suspect 100 more.

or not ,I don't really care what big company's say or announce all of them lays to you over and over again and you guys take bite every time,where one of them is Himalayas of misleading, I on the other hand always made what I announced,also from a another point of view did you ever see Antics Road Show,historically hand made not mass produced items bring lots of money.just keeping that in mind ,I read Chunks post about piece of s... P 51 by SkyWorks see this is very first model ever sold by us ,how much you think it will be worth in a future and agree it is piece of s... compare to what we make now

That's a great Pricepoint, for a unique piece of armor that size. If it were WWII German, I'd be in-line for one for sure.

This looks gooood!
Price mentioned is somewhat prohibitive for me, I may have to go on instant noodle diet

With all the orders that have pushed this into a "production model" status, is the price the same?
Has there been any interest in a turret version of the Stryker? Have you thought about making different variants?

We are hoping to keep that price ,having said that it is only a estimate of work in progress ,and I myself would like to have working suspension with turning front wheels ,interior and bunch of little things here in there

Nice work !! Would you be interested in doing a Fox CBRN recon vehicle? Reason Im asking is I drive one and it would be cool to have one in 1/18th

This is looking great, any chance of having a side-by-side photo with the Stryker and the BBi LAV? Before buying it I'd like to see an approximate size of the vehicle.

"nice work" coming from guy who actually drives similar thing means a lot to me ,as far as CBRN I could make it in future I try to make one piece of armor(new casting) a year when I need break from airplanes I figured this way I'll have fleet in ten years so who knows but for now Im very busy with other project I will keep CBRN in my mind since it is build on LAV platform very unusual vehicle

Sure,this photo is with BBI LAV which is not straight out of the box, it was painted and weathered a little
