[MOC] - M1126 Stryker ICV

[KRocans]

Hi!

This is my first proper LEGO military scale model MOC of a real vehicle - the famous M1126 Stryker ICV!

The MOC is a true display model, very close to the true mini figure scale. I tried to stay true to the scale and detailing of the real vehicle as much as possible using many reference pictures, and I am especially proud on the Protector RWS turret :).

As a display model, the Stryker has limited play-ability - the two roof hatches can open for posing the crew inside, the Protector turret can be "turned" and moved, front wheels also can be turned. No interior detailing though.

I am very much looking forward to build a nice small diorama around this beast in the future! 

Here you can see the pictures of the M1126 from my Flickr account:

Amazing build!

Looks great!  You've worked the angles together very well, nice details & greebling, and those tan gears look great on the wheels.

This is excellent! Very nice job. As stated above, the angles are just perfect. 

[KRocans]

Thank you all!

Well getting the front section angles right was a major hustle.. still did not manage to completely close all the gaps, but I am satisfied with the result.  :)

The original plan was to build this ICV in olive green, but I quickly understood that not only do I lack the necessary parts in that color, but there simply are not enough of needed parts made in that color to get the vehicle and all the angles right, so I went with the desert camo :)

Amazing build! I really wanted one like this, but I couldn't find the manual for sale. That's why I made it according to the photos. Make an instruction and sell!) I think the instructions for this MOC would be very popular on rebrickable.
