For a sec I thought you had built a couple of St. Chamond tanks. The camo looks good!

Needs more weapons! Some sort of AAA remote pod on the second wagon. Like stingers or something.... Just a suggestion. But it does look good!

Well, decals are on. :icon_music:

They fought me all the way & don't look as good as I'd like but I'll live with it. I just have to hide them behind a bit of dirt, weathering & back story. :icon_beer:

I'm now in the process of putting some wear-&-tear & paint onto 24 wheels. :icon_crap:

Always a jaw-dropper  :smiley:  I guess it would be over-kill to tow your 4x4 ASLAV behind the HMBLT ... like one of those monster RVs towing a trailer and a jeep ;D

I'm taking it, even though it's not quite finished & entering it in AV4 - AFV Wheel Driven Large Scale, as “What If …” M1137A3 High Mobility Battlefield Logistics Transport: Royal Australian Marines (1/35) – Work in Progress, Kitbash: Parts of 4 x Trumpeter 1/35 Stryker AFV’s of various models, scratch-built trailer superstructures, References: Nil

Taking & entering 6 items all up, none of which am I supplying "refernces" for - largely because I don't care about them, as all my builds are really for me, but also to get the idea of whifs out there into the broader modelling community.
