:wave:Hello fellow fighters...so....as you guy's know I like to dive into all aspects of this hobby and as I wait for my next supply haul from my new scenery supplier to continue my 'Underground Base Project', I need something cool and fast to do. I'm not sure but I think the Couger 6x6 might be in order.
I also have a commission to do a HEMTT Gun truck and I will start that in a few weeks or so. That will be epic.




So it begins:salute:

Damn. This reminds me of when we talked commission last year Dig! Nothing came out of it, but it's still in the back of my head.

Yep I remember most of the conversation, I'm really waiting on Jesse to enlarge the tire and wheel combo from my MULE project. That tire and wheel combo is very hard to find for our scale. It's used in most MRAPs and the HEMTT truck needs them also and so doe's most of my MRAPs. The tire and wheel combo is a thing we (Jesse and I) are working out together to figure how we can get them on MRAPs for others too. This combo will make any MRAP or off road vehicle custom pop out and be seen for anyone. It has to be a tire,wheel and axle combo. He needs to figure a reasonable price so we all can get them. Give him some time. I wanted to put them on the Cougar also.
I want them on all the new MRAPs I do. I know you still want an Oshkosh MRAP ATV, but mabey you might change you're mind when I do a couple of more types. There are still others that want customs from me and I don't take on too much at once. The gist of it is that I'm waiting for Jesse to get ahold of me and tell me the results of the enlarging and pricing on them.

:wave:Hello fellow fighters...another update....

I'm going to use part of the cabover so the next hood will open like its supposed to according to the original toy. I also scraped off all the protruding objects for a flat surface in prep for the styrene.







That's the beginning....I have the flu gentlemen and I won't post for a couple of days....need to rest....got kids....ooooo....I hate being sick:mad:

:wave: Hello fellow fighters....I did a little work this weekend...

Its not long enough and I'm going to replace the tires as soon as Jesse has got em.





I'm realizing more and more that the wheels and tires make these customs come to life much like their real life counterparts.

:wave: Hello Fellow fighters...here's another update....

I was going to have the hood open up but I chopped so much that the swivel hook on each side of the real hood doesn't work anymore. I don't enter the engine compartment in any other of my customs so I didn't see the point on this one, but everything else that's supposed to open will and a little more.....








Stay tuned for more...:wave::salute::salute:
