Don't you mean accepted?

I've got a few Braille scale HMMWVs that would fit into this build.

There are larger scaled HMMWVs. Tamiya does one in 1/20 scale and another around 1/10 that is an RC vehicle. Revell-Monogram does some in 1/25 and Maitso does diecast ones in 1/27 scale.

Im an Idiot Rob! Thats what I get for not doing what I should be doing in lessons.

I didnt know there were any larger Humvee's. Well, tell a lie, after I submitted the proposal I found in an old issue of MIS a 1/25 Tamiya Humvee.

Anyway Ive started a new post now for the campaign so maybe you would delete this one an add to the correctly spelt one-that way I dont look like such an idiot :-)

Opening it up to the larger scales may inspire some of the civilian versions of the HMMWV to make an appearance. R-M did at least three types: a red four door sedan (and a predecorated black one); a TOW carrier (and a pre-painted one); and a trapper HMMWV used in the movie Jurrasic Park 2.

There are diecast models of the H2 Hummer made by Maitso as well as regular civilian and military Hummers in 1/27 scale.

I can only delete posts in forums that I moderate like a few sub forums in armor, buy/sell/trade or sci-fi.

For the record, you did not misspell "excepted" or "role", you just used the wrong word.

I think I will build Arnold's first civilian Hummer he got during Desert Storm/Desert Shield. I'm going to have to look for pictures of it online. I remember it was called "The Terminator".

Jeremy, that paragraph is really freaky. I could read every word at first glance.

Yer you're right sabot-wrong context! Still poor English :-)
Arnie's Hummer would be very cool, he was the one that got all the civillians buying them. I really want one! But I prefer the army versions, the civillian one is damn sweet. I guy had an army one for sale a while ago for £45,000 complete with motorbike and loads of M16A1's, i'll have to save my pennies!
The campaign is now open to Hummers aswell.
