I need to get me one of these while I can…Anyone know the kit number for the giant robot? 
Excellent Job on the Carrier nonetheless.

Excellent job, Jan! 
Thanks, still have to finish it.
participate will help
It’s a weird box art for a normal AFV…
I have made some progress, added rear tailgate, winch and base color.
I have also removed the two extinguishers of the Fire Suppression System: they need reworking because they are too tall, I’ll add them again at a later stage
more in the next post

in the meantime, I have also completed the design of the AC external unit used in MGS Stryker;
it was sitting in my pipeline since long and it was time to finish it.
(it’s available at Shapeways in case someone is interested)

Liking what I am seeing.
Woohoo! When I’m fully solvent again, Imma get me a few of those AC units.
I have received the DVH update set that Galactica has on Shapeways. The design and print quality is first rate. Although I am building the Trumpeter MEV, most of the parts are still usable even though they were designed for a different kit. Great Work!!
Cheers

To boost the campaign a little, I like to show some images of some of my Stryker build- the M1130 CV with WIN-T advanced communications system.

As anticipated in the previous post, here is a quick list of what I have used for my model so far:
- the base kit is the M1130 by AFC Club (with hindsight I’d better have used the M1126 kit, always by AFV)
- then I have designed and 3D printed at Shapeways some parts to convert a 1st generation Stryker into the new Double V-Hull model (also known as DVH).
I have designed only the most visible changes (see picture below as a reference) and the new exhaust deflector.
By the way, thanks to HermannB and GBRAME for their posts about this conversion set.

I have also designed and 3D printed the anti-blast amour (available at shapeways.com)
-
driver armored protection and BFT antenna+mount are by Blast Models (essential add-on’s if you want to make such a model).
- AFV Club “sticker for simulating anti-reflectionm coating lens” (p/n AC35011): they replicate very well the changing color effect of the lens and can be used also in other models
In all the pictures of the vehicles that I want to replicate, I have seen that the slat armour has been completely removed except for a part attached to the tailgate; again, I turned back to the computer
to 3D design it.

Lookin’ mighty fine! 
@HermannB its all fun in games to have that on your truck until it’s the Battalion Commanders truck and non of the upper TI works at all.
I don´t care if it works as long as I have access to it. 
Another one on bench. M1128 MGS with all the mods done for a 2019 truck. I still have to decide if i replace the A/C unit with Shapeways.
The more “serious” problem is where I get the proper decals for 2CAV trucks.
