The Bradley M¤ Command Post

[charles]

Hi again. This is my version of the M4. The chassis is the 270M chassis used from the MLRS and the rest is scratchbuilt out of cardboard, from the box, that the model came in. I didn't use styrene as I did not have enough money to buy some. So I decided to test out using the empty box of another model to build the command shelter. The result is what you see, I don't think I did a bad job of it, especially working only from two pics that I found on the net.

WOW Such realistic weathering, great job

Thanks Dan. Much appreciated

That is a great weathering job! What materials did you use for the ground?

[charles]

Thanks Dude. The groundwork was achieve using the real thing - Dirt. Actually it's dried mud I scraped up from work brought in by the flatbed container loaders. I just brought a big plastic bag and scraped it up from the ground.

BTW, all my weathering is done with powder pigments. My primery colors are black, Burnt amber and grey. That's it. You can see my other works here: www.homebuiltstabilizers.com/modelindexpage/index.html

Fantastic build Charles. This is thinking way outside the box. The use of card stock is a great way to build. The only thing is to have the correct thickness for what you want to build. I like this one very much.

Thanks Dave. Yes you are right. The right thickness would have been better. Always learning...
