Barricaded folks with intent to harm themselves and/or others hardly rise to the level of "civilians" to me. But personally, I like the black vehicles too...that's why I building one 8)

Depending on the extent of the damage, probably replace the missing material. See this link http://m2hb.net/m2phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=521&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= Keep in mind, the LE machines are not on patrol thru some war torn area...they are answering to a specific...

Home Depot matched the color. I had called RAPCO for the Gillespie paint, but they were out of seafoam and didnt expect to be running it anytime soon. I must say that I was impressed with the match Home Depot made. Although the pictures look vastly different, where we stopped painting was only...

Here is a sample of how the black reflective decals look. Depending on the angle you are looking at them.

Here are some interior changes...lots of cutting and blending.

I dont know of too many left, I know some went to El Salvador and there were some radical armor changes made on the M114 rolling chassis. Also several had the armor cut from them and the chassis were built into utility vehicles by SECO Augusta as the Wood Tiger Cub. Let alone the ones that were...

I like black idea too (and one of mine will be :wink: ), but the agency requested the color on this unit. There will be black reflective decals and satin black trim parts, etc. I only have a few more days, we still have to touch up the interior, put the parts back on and install the decals. We...

Maybe someday Readyman, but for now it's just a neat hobby 8) Here we drop the tracks, prep and paint. The engine cover and small parts should be back from powdercoating tomorrow.

No doubt, being shot at would probably change my agenda too :lol: Anyway you're welcome, and we like being on this side of the blue lights :wink:

I had forgot about that one...so now it looks like there are one of three ways of coming out: On your feet, on your back or in an ash bucket. ( only one of those options seems favorable to me though) Yes, in training lots of things happen, thats why they train. And there has been lots of...

There are lots of ideas, but the resources to bring them to life are quite limited. The vehicle, and many of the upgrades and modifications are donated. We have, and will do what we can for these agencies and thats all anyone can do I suppose. The capabilities of this machine are more than...

We will be doing a total restoration on the M114A1E1 in the foreground and as difficult as good parts are to get,that is all I would ever want to do.

And the cutting begins...

I can only speculate as to what Kalid was, but I can definitely tell you what he is now. Stories such as this are just one more reason I like to put in good work on vehicles like this. When someone has made their own decision to leave this world, I feel obligated to do what I can to make their...

We are setting the ground work for future mods right now, concentrating on the removal of unecessary bracketry and equipment. We will also drop the camo and go with a #23070 OD green, with black powdercoated tow rings, covers and other misc parts. The decals are also custom black reflective...

We are in the process of donating some alterations to this vehicle, which is expected to take place in phases. The first phase involves removing obsolete or unecessary equipment, relocation of some of the remaining equipment, and removal of unused brackets and hardware from the exterior and crew...

I would like to get a V100 as well, but I guess that I dont want one bad enough. Im curious about the spare parts availability for the BRDM-2 might be? Probably better availability than V100 parts.

Here is one. You can probably forget finding one less than $40k in any condition. http://www.g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=101988

Something you dont see every day, for sure! Congrats 8)
