i'm calling this one finished, 'at least for now'

The Figure and Base still need some work, but since i'm leaving for a kind of deployment, i won't be able to work on them

The kit is Tamiya's M1025
with Legends GMV conversation + alot of scratchbuilding

well done Gijs!
been looking forward to finally seeing these pics
makes me wanna build a dumvee right away (well, I just finished a hmmwv today but heck, why not )

the attention you've paid to even really small details (worn camo on the eo tech...) are just way cool...
Congrats!


Cheers, Max

It's not fair to take pics of the real thing and call them pics of a model. All kidding aside the model is perfect in my eyes.

Been a while since I last saw this Gijs, and its gotten even better since then. Everything is spot on and the details are fantastic.

This is just the motivation I need to finish Thor

Keep it up, and stay safe on your deployment!

Great work. I love it. Thanks for sharing your project. Would love to see some in progress photos is you have any.

Be safe during your travels and a speedy return.

Very nice model with an impressive accuracy.

How did you make the small piece on the top of the antennas ?

Very nice work, Gijs! The Guntruck really looks spectacular!

Fantastic build! Really great job on the weathering/chipping.

Thanks Guys, this realy motivates to continue on this one but i don't have the time , I even want to make a M1165 Based GMV, lots of fancy stuff to scratch , but i need to collect more info for that build.

@Alex, i made them by dipping the antenna's upsidedown in PVA glue a couple of times.


WIP of the Base + Figure


the Figure will get ACU camoflage, and on the base i need to add some civillian stuff, maby one of these fancy afghani flower pimped bicycles

Hey, looking awesome, Gijs! The time, effort, and money spent on your vignette really shows!

Gijs, I really like what you've done here. Lots of interesting bits, done really well.

Really great build! What did you use/how did you make the stretcher?

Thank you for your answer, Gijs
I already tried this method but I did not make a success.

Your decoration is very great !

Thanks guys,






the strecher was made by 2 evergreen rods of 1.6mm Ø, and 56mm long
drill out the ends, the stretcher should 15mm wide, cut some strips for that,
for the "feet's" bend some 1.6mm evergreen strip in a square, glue it together and add some tissue with whiteglue around it.




Alex you need to do this slowly, first dip it in white glue and let that dry upsidedown. (don't overdo this you only need a little ball)

repeat this untill you get the size you need
'little by little'

Absolutely Fantastic!!!!

Great build!

awesome attention to details

i finally found the time to work on this project again.






Almost finished only some minor details to be added.

Perfect! Looks absolutely stunning Gijs! The figures and everything just look superb. Well done!

Very nice... Job well done!
Like the paint job on the figures a lot..

Not to critize but.. the small motor for pulling the ammo up to the chaingun will get into some hard work picking the ammo up from the floor.

Gjis,
I've been following this build and I have to say that it really was worth the wait.
this definitely is one of the best models I've seen in a while.
great attention to detail and the paintjob and weathering really do justice to all the effort you must have put into this. not to mention the base and figures (is that Rob (18bravo) I see there? )
don't forget to keep us posted on your other projects!

Cheers, Max
