For All You NTC Guys Out There - And Stryker Guys Too
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

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

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? _________________ --Bob Steinbrunn BSteinIPMS at aol.com

Bob 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.

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.

Here's a URL which is a Mr. Surfacer tutorial:

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. Bob
