Roughing it together to see how it all fits. That’s a big truck.

Krylon is far, far superior to RustOleum for plastics. It was a rash decision when I bought the paint a few weeks ago, not planned, so I just grabbed the ultra flat camo can not noticing it wasn’t Krylon Fusion until the morning I was painting. I can easily scratch this paint off the sprue...

Tires are soft plastic, but feel exactly like rubber. Better than any of our previous toys.

Probably because it’s the Oshkosh L-ATV that won the Humvee replacement JLTV competition. Not sure how it can be that much smaller that the M-ATV and still cost the same $433,000.

Might be a quick stand-in for the JLTV.

The roof is level with the top of the 1/16 Abrams turret, so it’ll be a machine gun nest taller.

I got 2 of 15 steps done under infant duress. Instructions leaves critical things out like how to make the wheels roll and the suspension is super complex with metal pins and metal springs, yet it doesn’t function once assembled. The steering works so far. It’s a challenging kit.

Since the model was molded in grey, I needed a mass assembly way of making it khaki. My solution drew a lot of looks from the wife and was about 90% effective. Unfortunately it was windy making it where I could only spray in two directions and causing me to miss some angles on a few sprues...

I guess this is the battle of the oversized model threads with NSA’s MaxxPro. After 2 weeks of traveling around the northeast in the opposite direction of Kansas, I finally received my kit and am ready to get started.

It seems legit and yeah, I immediately thought about T-72’s salivating at that target profile.

This is impossible for my mind to accept:

I do not need MP-10 now. This guy can be tossed in a tub with 20 of his friends without breaking and he’s way more fun to transform.

I’m actually going to dump the bulk of my MP collection since it got kicked to the garage and honestly, the Earthrise figures are way more fun.

nacho, look what these assholes did. There’s your head. https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-takara-tomy-masterpiece-mp-39-autobot-spin-out

I’ve only seen the fancy futuristic ones be removable like the black US spec ops.

They swap, but the JT heads are too small on Joe bodies. Weird it’s attaching sideways.

The Retaliation figure variations seem to be the only Joes that will work with JT, but that’s better than nothing.

So I dug out the best modern warfare Joes from 6+ years of storage and tossed them in with the JT Crew thinking I was going to ROFL. The results are surprising. Dare I say the Joes could be background fodder?

They really need to sell heads separately or something to make army building viable. Sell kits of gear for customizing. My biggest bitch would be that every squad member’s torso has the same kit. The joints can be super floppy, but somehow they hold the poses.

Pz III for me unless I’m in a fight, then it’s Panther all the way.
