Rick Rasmussen

Decorah, Iowa

Looking to pose a HobbyBoss 1/35 scale V-100 Commando as a U.S. Military Police checkpoint in Vietnam, Rick fitted machine guns on the roof, replaced the kit parts with DEF.Model wheels, piled on Tamiya and Legend stowage, and scratchbuilt the siren at the front. He painted the armored car with Testors Model Master enamels, first airbrushing white over the upper section and black on the lower reaches to pre-shade the camouflage.
