Hey guys just wanted to see what you guys think of my WIP M1046. I still need to do some more work on the humvee and the groundwork, but it's pretty close to being done.

Hi Matt,

Looks good so far.
I'm sure the weathering would make it look even better!

Hi Matt,

Is that Academy's food container there?
I'm not 100% sure but I believe these containers are not in use anymore. It says "Modern", but belongs to the Vietnam era.

Hey Matt ,your 1046 is looking great , I would like to ask what colour is the interior ? It looks like forest green ? also is the exterior colour buff or desert sand ? I think that I got the colour wrong on my 1025 Humvee , I painted the interior Nato green and the exterior Tamiya buff . Anyways keep up the good work .

the food container, is from a Verlindin kit, I don't remember the one, and the interior color is a mix of NATO Green and I think Dark Green, and the Exterior Color is a mix of Desert Sand, and Desert Yellow. As for the ratios on the paint I really don't recall, and if the container is the wrong era I would really like to know. Thanks guys.

Matt

so I am kind of putting this project on the back burner for now, mainly because I just bought myself a trumpeter Stryker Recon kit, and also because there is not too much more I can do except the weathering.

Here's mine...I know it looks like a mess, but I boxed it up for a little while to work on other things. I have 5 HUMVEE's going at one time right now, along with about 20+ other kits.
