It is taking me a little bit to get rolling again but been trying to get back in the swing. Hopefully have this one done shortly. Thinking of adding a spare on the armor on both sides. Any thoughts?

Adding a spare to the armor is definitely a good idea and if you can, putting some type of armor or plating over the front windshield might look pretty cool. |

I thought about adding armor to the front window, and was going to do it but then yesterday I forgot and painted it and it is not likely that I am going to take the paint back off to add the armor so guess we are going with bullet proof glass. LOL |

Hopefully get finished photos up tomorrow. Added camo and sometimes I look at it and think, not bad and then others I think maybe I went overboard. Hopefully have a couple other WIP pics at the same time. One is a Dreadnok fan boat, started out an idea to make a fanboat like the one in the movie but the parts came together a little differently. It always bothered me that the Water Moccasin (and now the fan boat in the movie) had the driver sitting so low in the boat which just does not seem natural for a fan boat, so when a part came along that allowed the driver to have elevated seating like he should have I had to go with it. |

Whats the base vehicle on the Dreadnok armored 4x4 and will a Joe sit in there appropriately? |

the 4x4 is out of the Bass Pro action figure line (not sure if it has a real name). It was sold as an 3.75 inch line and the figures fit pretty good but it does seem slightly roomy. The doors were missing when I got it so I made the doors solid (they do not open) but cut the top of the cab so the entire top of the cab comes off and pops back on to put figures in and out of it. The gun and chair in the turret in back is a rolling thunder gun seat. |

So you do not think that the camo went overboard. |

My only critique is the NAME..dictionary definition.. gun·ship a helicopter or fixed-wing airplane armed with rapid-fire guns or cannons and used to provide close air support for troops in combat. So a tank or vehicle is not a GUNSHIP...other than that the vehicles do look cool. |
