Hello fellow fighters, I need to change it up this time and to work on thick metal rigs so here are the new MRAP models...or soon to be I should say.
I know Pickelhaube was making one of these and I will not compare here as I'm absolutley not as talented as he is, so no comparison.
There are many MRAPS with different designs and companies making them, I like the Oshkosh designs myself...what would you like to see done?
As in the Chinook thread, things might change so I'm open minded again to all opinions.
Here are the models that I will transform....




Here are just some references....






All the wip pics will be here as usual, I will post on other sites some pics but the bulk will be here. :wave:

Should be able to use the one in the center, at least. They built MRAP trainers out of deuce-and-a-halves.

Yep I love legos, no one can make square square's or rectangles or circles like lego can and I use em.
There will be no back doors or back for that matter, I won't be able to emulate perfectly but I'm trying to emulate the Oshkosh MRAPATV. What ever comes out is my creation as it won't be Oshkosh's MRAPATV it will be my design.

"G.I.*EDDIE You planning to use the other trucks wheels/tires?...the hummer ones are uh, not so hot... "

I don't want to use them, and I would like to use the tires and wheels from the PTE IFV. I need to either get more cast or learn how to cast. Do you guys have any suggestions?

As far as wheels and tire go, look at the John Deer Monster Tread vehicles. The smaller ones work very well on those Adventure Vehicles. The also will fit on the original axle shafts will little modification.
