This one started life as a PTE military buggy. Why they call it a buggy and their other vehicle an FAV is beyond me, as this one is obviously based on the FAV's used by SOCOM in the OIF/OEF theater. So to me, its an FAV. I wasn't originally going to customize this, but out of the package I realized that the stock paint is crap. They were obviously going for some sort of night camo paint scheme, but it looks like some really crappy overspray. So I decided to paint it up as a signature vehicle for my Steel Brigades. The paint is krylon camo tan, flat black, satin hunt club green, and aqua. Extra accessories are from some other PTE sets I have acquired. I did leave the back bar from the roll cage and machine gun off. The MG doesn't mount in there particularly well, and it doesn't function well with a gunner in the seat.Here it is:

And if you want to really get anal about it, calling this one an FAV is outdated nomenclature anyhow. The correct term is DPV (Desert Patrol Vehicle). Anyhoo, back to the regularly scheduled thread. |

Because the Chenowth Scorpion isn't the only FAV out there, and the other one is one of several Chinese Fast Attack Vehicles.

Thanks! The blue was a little bit darker than what I wanted, but I ended up really liking it. In my mind, that is what really makes it a Steel Brigade truck.

I like it except the MK-19 is out of scale. Very nice color scheme.
