Now we talking
So quicking your but wasnot a waste of time afterall, you can safe the air inlet of the humvee and putting in place in seems to be the only stuff that doesnot burn.
If you are going to put in a dio just collect real ashes and glue it with PVA glue,
You can also collect carbon black for the fume traces and you can even add small iron wires around the hubs of the wheels to represent the tires inner structure.
What about the seats ???
If you google destroyed humvee you will find plenty of ref pics.
Great job Marty
See you on FB.
Cheers
Seb
EDIT you need to put a engine CMK does a good one or stracth it

Thanks Sonny.the old stuff looked good but not accurate,
the new stuff looks to be even better! I'm glad you went in and redid it, those reference pics Seb posted are a goldmine. Looks like your model is on its way to looking just like the real thing.
Keep going and please post again when you're done.

Beautiful work, and, yes: model making is also about fun. Excellent art with the rust, burn, etc. Reflects some good thought and high level of attention to the work and method. Keep on...

I agree with Sonny. The technique looked very good, and was well done. It just wasn't accurate for the material the actual vehicle is made from. You shouldn't feel bad that you didn't know.

Hi Martyn,
Nice job
It seems like you're having a lot of fun with this one, and to my eye it looks pretty cool - although I guess that should be hot?

I guess even I learned something.
Great that the hood is Fiberglass.
But really can not compare a Military vehicle to a civilian car or truck.
They have been plastic for years.
But at the price the military pays for one of there's think it would be Metal My hood is.

Hi Sabot, my previous page has a photo of a destroyed humvee with the hood, I am not disagreeing.I agree with Sonny. The technique looked very good, and was well done. It just wasn't accurate for the material the actual vehicle is made from. You shouldn't feel bad that you didn't know.

Nice find on that photo. I see the hood and rear angled thing there, melted, but there and a similar color and texture as the other parts of the vehicle.
It's Cool like Keith that you accept criticism well. After seeing your model, I want to paint one of my cars like that just for the fun of it. And a picture of it.

Yes, the hood is still there. However, it is melted and not as discolored and rusted as you had depicted. The vehicle is not as burned as you made yours either. It is all in the presentation. Your updated one looks much better. Rust up the scraps and add some ash and it will be good.

Hi Martyn
looks good, convincing rust is very hard to do, but you seem to have nailed it, ok there may be a couple of mistakes based on the accuracy of the build, but in the end you are learning from it and that is what counts.
There are many very knowledgeable people on the site and most will happily give with out asking anything in return, and it does highlight the need for some good pictures and information before you start a new project. We have all been there at some point and missed some time quite obvious things when building a new model (yes including me and often)
look forward to seeing this complete
cheers
Keith
p.s. Good to have finally met you and your brother in person at Cosford

Hi Keith, firs of all nice to meet you to. Second thanks very much mate. It is a lot of fun. It is one of three vehicles ready for paint. They are all getting the burnt out treatment.
I know what you mean about the information some really nice guys like Gino who I really appreciate getting the information off.
done your dio yet?

Really great effects mate. Rust and scorch marks looks bril.
It's amazing (and sad) to see those reference pictures. Seeing the colours produced when metal (or whatever material they are made from) burns should be handy reference material for many.
