Description LAV-25 (light armored vehicle)The Army's idea of tank evolution. Really it seems to me to be a suped up firetruck with an M-2 Bradly turret stuck on top- minus the TOW missiles. I think they are cool looking though.

Hey at least they are air conditioned! Try the M113 in 100 F heat!

SOOOOO TRUE! When I was a kid I always wondered why armor went around every where with all their hatches wide open...and now I know.

Do you work from memory or a bunch of ref photos?

I try to do as much of both as possible.

I love ref photos but sometimes I really need to research to find out what exactly I'm looking at. I'm sort of nerdy like that. I don't want to just paint a bump on something with out knowing what it's there for. Also, I have a lot of models that I have built over the years and they help out a lot with both research and perspective.

Memory is like icing on the cake but if I relied on memory alone I would be doing nothing but M2 Bradleys with a Humvee thrown in now and then. Oh and lots and lots of m-16s since we cleaned them every day it felt like.

Very good. I'd love to do it from life but I don't see so many A vehicles any more or guns . So I'd have to work from ref photos I guess. I'm determined to have a go & might start with troops.
