Has anyone done the GHQ Stryker Slat Armor? If so what do you think?
I have tried it by GHQs suggested method, but find it wanting in assembly method, and gaming durability...

I have two packs sitting in my bits box unopened for precisely that reason. While I think its a great idea to have these available they just don't work for me.

Some of the vehicles I did with "staples" supporting the SA (Slat Armor). Although not "exactly" museum accurate, they are quite robust for playing with, er Gaming...I even dropped one onto the HARD floor and it didn't even bend the armor let alone coming loose.

Using 1 staple horizontally

The rest using 2 in the vertically...

Wow you did a great job. A mate brought some and asked me to add the slat armour to his LAVs but I politely said no way!

Cheers
