Looks great, any chance of a video?

Not going to torture yourself making the bar armour then?

Hi chaps,
Thx for the replies.
I dont know how to post a video,
I think the bar armour is more of a british thing, as i have not seen any US cougars with bar armour, i think the british version is called something else with the bar armour, Mastiff i think, but could be wrong.
Regards.

You may be right there
Its a pig to do either way

Hi Tiger6.
You are right there.. .
I may have that honour on another build i am doing.

No unpainted pictures showing warts and all?

That's my favourite part of these scratch builds out of bits of plastic and metal

Anyway, this looks excellent

As for videos, if you upload videos to YouTube, then you can paste the link in a post

Ok Mr Gunner..
Just for you..
Sub.

Oh yeah, thank you Mr Sub, just how I like em, in the raw

I have seen the bar armor on them in Afghanistan on American MRAPs of all kinds. I've seen a lot of them after they were hit by IEDs and most looked like they fared pretty well as far as the troop and driver's compartment go. Nice build.
