This is the Special Forces GMV, basic kit is Tamiya M1025, conversion kit is from Pro Art Models, stowage comes from my spare box and products from Hobby Fan, MIG Productions and many other...


Hope you like it, thanks for watching...

Dear Thomas,
let me be the first one to congratulate! It is simply amazing. The whole vignette looks great!

Eventhough I just spent 6 months building my Humvee your job really makes me to start another.

Regards

Jiri

I am not a very big fan of humvees, but that looks cool. I specially like the sage of the wheels and how they "blend" with the base.
Super cool.

Pictures always make Humvee models look so big. In fact, they're a pretty small model. Good job, Thomas, you make it look big! Good details. Awesome desert floor.

Hells yeah!

Tony

I look forward to hearing from you

cheers

Keith

Very nice! Great base also.

Cheers,
Sean

Really Great SF Humvee Thomas
I really love the dusty look on the windshield, is this sprayed or pigment ??
You did some paint chip in grey or what ???
Really and the super swamper tires outstanding

I hope to see more of your work
Cheers
Seb

This is what I love to watch - beautifully buit Humvee (in one of my favourite versions) and a smiply, great vignette. CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks to all of you for your comments and congratulations.
The dust on the windshield was made by airbrush and pigments,

@Keith Forsyth: Yes, I will send you more pictures and informations for an On Display, soon.

Thomas,
Sorry I didn’t see the original posting for this. However, now that I have I want to say what an excellent build this is, the weathering on the GMV is phenomenal. Your attention to all the small details on this vehicle make for an outstanding vignette. I am completely impressed every time I see another of your builds. Keep up the excellent work.
best,
Scott

Thomas this is one hell of a good build! The paint job the storage and the ground work, man your modelling skills are amazing. But first 2 questions if i may
1-whered did you get your stowage from?
2- how did you creat the groundwork, looks awfully real!

How did you prevent the groundwork and plaster or glue from spilling over the edge of the base lip?

Thanks for your nice comments.

@calvin:The groundwork is made from a product that is called in german "Holzspachtel".
It is a sandy paste for filling holes in wood. I would translate "Holzspachtel" in wood putty.
I hope you understand what I mean, my german is much better than my english
The stowage is Hobby Fan, HF048

@Peter: I have masked the edges of the base with tape, the wood putty is not very thin, so it won't run over the edges...

Thanks Thomas, no your english is just fine, i can understand you clearly. whats next on the bench to be built?

Calvin, actually I am working at a german Leopard 2A6M, basic kit Tamiya with Perfect Scale conversion kit...

Thomas, this is a really inspirational build! Your painting and weathering are really beautiful.

Thomas- l'm agree with Kubisz. My favourite version SF dumvee-beautifully buit Humvee. Nice job. Think about some figures- US Special Forces Operator (Evolution Miniatures)

Hi Thomas

Very well done! I think you achieved the perfect balance with the weathering and stowage.

I have a few of these Hummvee's in my stash so [if you don't mind] I'm taking some notes for reference.

Regards,
Kobus
