I was just thinking of something, most of the armoured Humvees I have seen have a sagged suspension from all the weight of the add-ons. I can't tell if yours is sagging or not? Food for thought.

No the suspension isn't sagging. Haven't become comfortable enough yet to hack up a Tamiya Chassis. In the future I will try it for sure. I got a article from someone on here that shows how to lower the suspension. So we will see. Got the M1151 coming in the mail, so maybe that will be the "ALL OUT humvee"

Jeremy,
The build looks like it is going very well so far. It amazes me how much the vehicle has evolved from it's original inception. Look forward to more progress shots of it as you continue. Can't wait to see the finished project. Do you think you'll post any progress photos of your other Humvee builds? If they are all as clean as this build, I think they are going to look great. Keep up the great work.
best,
Scott

Keep up the good work, your doing great, I guess the only way to advance is to try and that is always my problem, afraid of hacking it and not being able to repair the damage. (What do you mean there are no spares!)

Here we go guys. Got the base coat on as you can see. Have to start picking out the details here soon and then do some weathering. I think she is coming along pretty nicely.
Let me know what you think

Thanks for the comments guys. I am not really doing much to the interior. Not focusing on that this Humvee. I add a little more to each one. Building it up slowly. I am still trying to figure out what stowage to put on the back.....

Your HMMWV is looking awesome! Great work so far.
Seeing yours really makes me want to get my project flyin'!
I have some of the frame/suspension done.

WoW! you've done some amazing work on this. It really looks great. I do have some high school flashbacks to a Chevy Nova that also had a hood scoop and number on the door. I'm definitely keeping your build in mind for a future project. Nice!
