Bonjour Olivier

You might be interested in the Blackdog EOD set to re-create the guy using the laptop on the bonnet (that's a hood for you yanks!)




The AFV Talon is nice but the arm joints are very delicate: be careful!

Bonne chance,
Sean

thanks !

Unfortunately, the figurine set Blackdog EOD is not available in France !
(shipping is too high for 1 figure !)

installation of bridges is not difficult if one refers to the instructions exactly.
The wheels assembly requires a bit more careful not to get the wheels with cleats are in the wrong direction.
The chassis and its components are set aside until the painting

Olivier,

It's ironic your starting almost the same dio I was planning.I have the Humvee and 2 of the robots.I also have 1 of the EOD figures from Black Dog(very nice figures from them),but I would prefer the latest set of the 2 figures.Blast models seems to be constantly out of stock.Hisham,thanks for the heads up on Lucky Models,they are also quite a bit less expensiive than Blast.It will be interesting to watch your progress Olivier.

The cabin: the whole interior will be painted entirely in green NATO, the Hummers in service in Iraq varies from one model to another, some sand inside, Nato Green and black parts, each to his choice.





Mounting the Talon:
The parts must be used with caution because brittle plastic, the assembly is easy. All will be painted black before a slight patina mainly on caterpillars.

Remove this box next to the gunner's platform (part D22, AFAIK). This is Airco box from M1151, not from M1114 - a Bronco's mistake. In this place in M1114 should be a rack for ammo boxes.
Nice, clean build

This is going to look great, I loved putting this model together, starting my second one soon! I take it you are building the gun truck first then the EOD truck? Really looking forward to seeing this one finish up. Subscribed!

Just a small note, the air conditioning vents over the dasboard should be black, and the windsheild wiper controller on the post between the windshield glass is crooked it should be straight up and down, otherwise great build!
