your build is great,love all the details.

The weathering on the Humvee is really looking good.

The interior was masked up and the exterior san colour painted, ive modulated the colours slightly, this will tone down with washes to come.

The tread area of each tire is dry brushed.

Each wheel / tire was masked and the sand coloured wheels sprayed.

Wheels have ben given an oil wash and the sidewals a light dusting with pigments.

The Humvee was given a yellow oil wash and the armored steel panels fitted.

Beautiful!!!

This Humvee looks real good, the rust effects on the add on armor plates are very realistic.

those hardox plate's looks great and the rest amazing work

echelon makes them

Yeah they are from Echelon, they are a really useful set.
A bit more assembly done today.

What did you use to simulate the canvas, on the cab? It looks very realistic.

The roof of the Humvee is sculpted from Milliput rolled out into a very fine sheet and draped over a frame made from fine wire. I did this in 2 parts, the first the layer over the cab and once this had hardened i did the crumpled up form over the top.

It hard to imagine that the steel plating is plastic, that's how convincing your painting and weathering is. As Matt already said, your canvas top looks more like the real thing then the real thing.

Thanks for the internet, I can see all the crazy models from deferent side of the world......

Very great jop

To get that worked on feel ive placed plenty of tools and equipment around the back of the vehicle.

excellent work from the start .plates look very real and the decals really top it off .tools are fantastic and i love the addition of the shades on the rear of the humvee .
i do like to see personal items in dios but these are hard things to obtain if your not a master scratch builder , id like to see more personal bits made by the big boys for all of us not so big boys . real models , accurate armour, voyager and eduard to mension a few .mess kits , bath kits , cleaning kits and more to add the personal touch .

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing the photos.

EXCELLENT WORK!! I bow down to your kudos!!

Find it interesting that I drive by the place that made those plates every so often... cool!!

Thanks guys, more details from around the Humvee
