So I went from a scratch built LAV III to a destroyed and rusty LAV III. I had seen many tanks being modelled as damaged or completely destroyed and was curious to see how a LAV III would look, since I have not seen any modelled before. So here are some pics of a scratch built LAV III that I built and now, I have turned it into a Completely destroyed and rotten down vehicle. You can see what it looked like before and after.

Did the crew make it out?

Great work! I have to ask, how did that tire make it up there? Those tires are f'ing heavy.

All the burned out Strykers I've seen had lost their antennas. Melted I guess. I don't know about LAVIII's but I know Stykers have composite appliqué armor that tends to come apart when the vehicle is completely lost to fire, makes a real mess and looks ragged. I have one of the ceramic tiles that fell off a hulk on my desk, I use it as a coaster. Don't take my comments as criticism, merely observations. Your skills are vastly superior to mine. Again, great work!

Thanks and your comments are all valid. Since these pics were taken I have removed the antenna, water bottle and the rear tires. I left them there just for pure aesthetics reason. ;) I wanted to show off the tires but did not know how to make it look valid next to the wreckage :) I understand those tires are heavy but let's assume they were put up there by a hydraulic lift. ;)

Stunning work. You might try photographing them in real sunlight, and at a low angle to get real blue sky. I think you will be pleased with the results.

One tiny bit of constructive criticism; when large flat sheets of steel are heated in a fire, they warp. Next time you do a fire damaged vehicle, always distort large flat metal surfaces.
