M2A1 Bradley

Fleshing out the inside:

 

[NSA]

I need a damn printer.. and time to make customs.

Looks sharp! Am I going to buy this one off you too??

 

[pcsguy88]

I'm growing quite fond of it, but you never know.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

too cool!...love the details...whats the sack on the right?

It's a pouch from a 1:6 doll.

 

[pcsguy88]

Suggestions? (other than closing the gap in the rear)

 

[K-Tiger]

Not a lot to do aside from actually detailing said wall.

Toss a case of MREs in there and a gerry can or two and call it good.

 

[pcsguy88]

Maybe I can cut strips of something to glue on the wall to give it the ridges. Not sure how far I want to take it.

 

[pcsguy88]

I still have a few hairs that didn't turn grey, but my eyes are definitely shot. I don't know how you guys paint figures.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I've actually come to hate painting joes due to the eye aches and headaches...

It's looking really good though...you planning on any decals?

I'm leaving it unmarked so it can be used for sci-fi, etc.

One of the baddest Bradley customs I've seen! I also dig the interior. I never knew the linebacker has been around since 1988. I thought it was a newer 90s thing.

 

[pcsguy88]

Thanks Vic!

This one and the real one on the first page just have normal TOW launchers, not the quad Stingers of the linebacker. That would be a nifty addition to add if I had another one.

 

[pcsguy88]

Calling it quits for now.

[Rick]

Awesome range of play on the tracks! Looking good. I love inside details.

Do you plan to weather it up? She's looking too purty right now.

 

[pcsguy88]

Thanks Rick! I'll make her dirty as soon one more thing is added, but that will not be until May.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

High five!

Looks great man...what's this other delayed detail?

An artist is doing something for me next time she is in town.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

That's cool, but I was talking about for the Bradley here

 

[danielgogeta]

the tracks are absolutely incredible! plus the inner compartments look sweet too

 

[Slaymaker]

This is one sweet looking vehicle. Great job all the way around!

 

[pcsguy88]

Thanks guys, it was nice to have the time to work on a custom vehicle again.

 

[NSA]

Lucky bastard.. hopefully in my new manroom I can do dork things again..

 

[pcsguy88]

SEAL green or ACU tanker?

 

[K-Tiger]

Well you know where I'd vote.

 

[pcsguy88]

I might paint the acu guys dark green and keep their vests as is. Kinda digging the solid green that does not label them to a specific time or place. I want my Bradley to have that anime feel/function to it.

 

[K-Tiger]

ACUs are the goddamn devil!

 

[pcsguy88]

ACUs is for fashion, not the field. Worthless in North America.

 

[K-Tiger]

They're testing new patterns out now.

I say go green, either SEAL or repainted G.I.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

im kinda liking the ACUs, nice contrast, but what do i know *shrugs*

 

[pcsguy88]

Quick one coat with JN green. Very happy with the results.

 

[K-Tiger]

Gonna do any paint work on the CVC helmet? I've got a couple (and a real one, too) and they certainly need it.

 

[pcsguy88]

Goggles need repainted, but not in the mood right now. I'm sure they'll get done before I sleep.

 

[pcsguy88]

Much better. Now I just need to drybrush or wash them.

 

[pcsguy88]

Drybrushed the crew (first time I've done a figure). Very subtle, but makes a huge difference when it comes to clothing.

 

[Rick]

First time really??

Anyways, they look like a perfect match/fit.

 

[Falcone]

That is so lovely. The Bradley is one of my favorite modern vehicles. Sadly I had to sell mine a few years ago when I fell on rough times. I also love the solid green uniforms on the figures in post #76. I prefer the solid green as it sets the figures into a sort of timeless timeframe.

 

[Wild weasel]

This is looking excellent! Can't wait to see her done!

OCD kicked in and I had to paint the view ports before I could sleep.

I saw a cool technique for realistic vision ports, by cutting purple(or blue or green) confetti and placing it over the "armored glass", looks great with the chrome effect

'Cept, ya know, they're not supposed to have any colored effect.
