For All You NTC Guys Out There - And Stryker Guys Too

[Burik]

This is my in-progress 3/2 Stryker Bde M1126, circa 2005.

Looks good-whose aftermarket gear is on the back deck? Dan

Real Model. THis is part of a stowage set.

Too bad there's no good way to spell-out a whistle of appreciation 'Wheeeew!"

Excellent! Non-skid walkways done with Gunze Sangyo Mr. Surfacer 500 stippled on?

The non-skid is Cast-A-Coat. It sprinkles on after you put down a liquid. My photos were taken after I glued other stuff on, so some liquid glue soaked into the non-skid, so in some parts it seems to be missing.

It still looks good, Bob. It could easily represent normal wear and tear due to crew movement on the non-skid surface.

If, on the other hand, you're not happy with the effect, you might try Mr. Surfacer. It's best applied by stippling it on with an old brush. Here's a 1/6 scale M5A1 Stuart drive sprocket receiving this treatment.

Oh, I did not mean that the glue took it off. I just meant that in looking at my photos if you felt it looked like I did a half assed job - It's not true! The glue sort of camo'd my non-skid.

Once I paint it then it will all be evident again.
