Thread: The MRAP Cougar. A Toy's and Joy's Pattern

Thanks Jim for the update.....Looking good, especially the interior & steering wheel.
Cheers, crowie

PS - I hope you're high & dry with all the rain & floods around now!!!!

This is the best I could fit in today.
These 4 panel's are the top, 2 side's & rear of the MRAP.
Window's are still to be cut out & door frame's to be finalised.

Cheer's Jim.

Today I cut out all the piece's for the mudguard's or the fender's as some of our mate's across the Pacific call them.
First pic show's the 10 piece's that will make up the rear guard assembly, & the next show's the same for the front guard's.
There is stll some angle cutting & shaping to be done before assembly.

This vehicle is fitted with two fuel tank's, one each side of the truck.
Third pic is the fuel tank's, next is the armour for the tank's & last as an
assembly as they will be when mounted on the truck.

Good to see the progress.

Should be a good model when finished, or should I say it will be a great model when finished.

I must apologise for the lousy photo's.
Today we have the hood or bonnet with the radiator grill, & the two hood side
piece's as an assembly & an exploded view. Most major piece's are now cut out & it will
be soon time for assembly, hopefully.

Cheer's Jim.

That top piece of timber is beautiful Jim.....colours & grain are already in desert camouflager... Cheers, crowie

Looking good Jim!!!

Glad to see a pest species being put to good use!!!

I did not like the the look of the radiator grill so I have rearranged the inside slat's.4th
pic is engine vent's that mount on the hood & rearranged radiator grill slat's.
First pic is hood & radiator assembly as it will be on the truck. 2nd & 3rd pic's the roof armour in
mock up stage.

Not a lot was build today.
These two box's are the storage locker's for this vehicle.
They will be mounted on either side of the vehicle above the rear guard's.

Cheer's Jim.

Keep it coming Jim, thank you....Cheers, crowie

That is some very neat looking wood can't wait to see it finished.

G'day, I've been out of the shed for the past few week's & then our digital camera decided to turn up it's toe's. We have purchased another & now I have to learn how to drive it. Us old bloke's dont learn this new technology real quick. I have made some progress on the MRAP & will post it asap.

Cheer's Jim

Already an impressive build. Will be following developments.
