Apparently I have the attention span of a goldfish, been around the bowl twice, time for something new.
The Ice Rigger is a longer term project, the Wiesel, is currently in a drying stage after doing the Javelin mount a couple of times.

So a couple of nights ago I re-watched Civil War, which all in all is quite a good movie. Between that and Wombies Stryker build, the Trumpeter Stryker I had in the stash just had to move to the bench.
So the plan is to do a Western Forces Stryker, which given the premis of the film is pretty much stock, with different markings. Some vehicles had a WF painted on them and the Western Forces Flag.

So, Stryker out of the box.... so far

So I figure that given the vagueness of the movie on why's and wherefores on how this all happened, some best guesses on the forces might be needed.
I am thinking that WF troops will be moving fast, given a limited logistical situation. So I am going to add a bit more around fuel and supplies.
Plus if all munitions are not available, or available in quantities, some second line stuff might be in use, taken from National Guard or Second line war stores.
So maybe, the TOW Launcher I removed from Wiesel, might get another life on this as a field modification mount


For markings, the plan is to create a decal of the Western Forces Flag and a WF hand painted on
