NO ONE makes one.

Surprising gap in production as so many close options - I'm thinking of taking a Stryker from Empress and converting it, but it wouldn't be 100%.

Thoughts?

I would have thought an Empress LAV would be a better start (I only have the New Vanguard book and that it is not clear on the differences between LAV user variants).

[Edit] okay, Stryker is derived from LAV III, ignore me....

Tim at King's Hobbies and Games has the 3D models for one and is selling them in 28mm and 20mm

EDIT: http://www.kingshobbiesandgames.com/Default.asp is his site, if it's not there you might need to drop him an email.

I can't seem to find them on the site - do you have a link by chance? Cheers!

I have Empress' LAV-25.  I realize it's not an exact fit, but is it close enough to modify?

I need the turret and a Stryker body essentially. Do you need your turret?  lol

I'd bet Empress would sell you the LAV-25 turret and a Stryker as a short term fix.  Long term, you should ask if they would be willing to make one.

I do have an email into paul @ Empress but no reply as of yet.

Fingers crossed. 


Wait until you all see my converted Leopard 2A6M Can.  ;)
