I've never seen so much green on a hmmwv. The windows are quite dusty, as is the rest of the vehicle. Are you trying to represent a specific vehicle?

Looks good, different and interesting. Not sure about a few bits: the doors are the origional unarmored but the rear of the cab seems heavily armored? And the yellow rings on the hood?

But, the storage is very well executed and the plank bed looks really wood-like. How did you do it?

And what's under the tarp? From the size and shape I'm guessing 3 barrells of beer

Looks like it is constructed well.

What is it supposed to be though? My guess is totally fictional. Where do you put the fuel in? Since the rear of the truck has been cut off, including the fuel filler. What is up with the exhaust pipe down the wrong side as well? The exhaust comes out the other side of the engine. I could go on with what is wrong with it, but will stop here.

Thanks Sean...There's no armor my friend...Just some plates make that part closed...Under the tarp..?

I hope your guess is true...

You can see that pictures in Kuba's message Gino...and there is fuel filler on the right side behind the can and under the chain....

OK, I stand (well sit anyway) corrected. That is definitely a wierd one. Must be a civilian contact team vehicle at Camp Pendelton since those are Marines looking at it in bewilderment.

Never mind, Gino's probably right, the lack of hesco's and T walls doesn't seem like the AOR, Pendelton or the Stumps makes more sense.

In the spirit of this thread...


I give you, the batmobile.

I totally missed this one back then. Well, it's still 2012 anyway.

Very unique vehicle and project. Build and paint and weathering look great. Thanks for posting the 1/1 prototype pics, kubisz.

I have an oddball HMMWV project going as well but it's on the bench side for now. Really, it's right next to my left arm when I sit there. Seeing yours might be enough to motivate me to complete mine
