Thanks a lot guys
Today on my workbench there are two Humvees (Polish M1043 HMMWV Armament Carrier and US Army M1097 HMMWV OIF Gun Truck). And there are another five waiting in boxes, three of them are on pictures in this topic:

But the amount of my 'I-want-to-build' Humvee models is horrible

That's a huge amount of Humvees, how many are you aiming to get - one of every variant maybe

10 Humvees - it's not a huge number. The amount of versions and variants is uncountable. I want to build about 30 of them for now. And then... next and next

Sean - great collection! Would You make at least one photo of each Your Humvee?

Kuba,

Have you ever build a model that wasn't HUMVEE?

Very nice collection!

Thanks a lot, all of You.

Andrzej - of course I have. I've built several aircraft models in 1/72nd scale, then about 30 vehicles (8 Humvees included ). And then it was about ten years break in my modelling. At the beginning of last year I've build a ZIL-157 with SA-2 trailer from Trumpeter as my coming back. Then - 1st Humvee, 2nd Humvee, 3rd Humvee.... 12th Humvee And 13th and 14th are coming...

Humvees are addictive, aint they?! I did the one in your first pictures too. I did my gun truck a little differant. Theres just so many damn variations, you can just keep building forever, and theyre enjoyable too. Yours all look great! Heres a couple of mine.......

Ok, here's some of mine. Finally got a decent camera (Fuji F60 12mp) The lower pictures are older builds and need some major re-work. I'll spend some time this weekend taking them down off the shelf and get good close-ups of each individually.





And just to show the difference in the camera, here's a pic posted previously taken with a phone:


Cheers,
Sean

Sean - nice collection.
My 5 Humvees are after major reworking, so sometimes it's a good idea to come back to a model.

Been watching Generation Kill, and its hard not be inspired to like the humvees. Nice collections Kuba and Sean. Has anybody attempted a version from this series yet? Would love to see the camo attempted.
