Just in case you are still itching for more HUMMWV action I have finished the second kit from the box.
Like the first one, this has been awaiting completion for a couple of years.
I had some issues with the top mating with the bottom deck at the rear. I have hid this with a camo net.
The poles for the net are cut down toothpicks that may be a little large.
Rather than use the M2, I mounted a M240 GPMG.
I stole the net from the lads lego pirate set and cut it down a bit.
Normal weathering and wear and tear with an alloy paint. Tac sign from the spares box. Revell Challenger kit I think.
Lovely detail in these kits. Not a bad price really either.
Model on!
Very good use of the lads stuff. Last time I tried that it cost me!! Great model again Paul.
ReplyDeleteI never told him Rodger, it would have been messy!
DeleteVery nice. I have a load of 6mm HUMMWVs with various attachments awaiting my attention. I must dig out some I've already done and get some photos posted.
ReplyDeleteYes please, I need so more ideas Tim.
DeleteReally nice kits....
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran, good to see some moderns coming out on your blog as well.
DeleteVery nice set of twins ;) You could use thicker wire instead of toothpicks, but they look quite nice anyway.

Good point Thomas. I was in a hurry and not think. Must do better!
DeleteGreat job and finish on those, a dirty vehicle is a working vehicle.
ReplyDeleteGood choice of background for the photos too, that Airfix Farmhouse looks good.
Cheers John. Japanese Uniform makes a nice crappy mud colour that just seems to be starting to flake off.
DeleteThe Farmhouse is an old favourite I must confess and has been my standby prop for a few years now.
