Those figures look great so far Marko. Excellent work on the camo.

Until now, you've done a great job congratulations.

Great Work! love the all the cables around the radio and details......how did you paint the US Flag on the figure?

Thanks

Jay

Thanks guys. The flags are Echelon decals.

Mario

Could you tell us which color you used for these camo of the clothes?

I'm using Humbrol enamels, and the mixes are usually done on the palette without any particular mixing ratios.

Anyway, the woodland colors are:

117 + 80 (green)
160 + 121 (brown)
117 + 121 (ochre)
117 + 33 (black).

3-color DBU colors are:

121 + 84 (sand)
121 + 117 (greenish tone)
160 + 121 (brown).

Hope it helps,
Mario

Looks great so far! Figures really are excellent

Outstanding job Mario !
I'm glad for my very little contribution.

The figures are almost finished. I still have to add a radio antenna to the driver figure and also a map in the codriwer's hand, but that's about it.



Some more gear after fixing the figures to their seats and I'll be able to close the Humvee.

Mario

Wow! Great work on the figures!

Excellent work Mario.The one with glasses is really nice.

Compliments.

Ciao Luigi

Thanks guys! I'm not really satisfied with the paintjob on the figures, but since they are my first 1/35 scale figures in a long time, I think they were a good practice.

Mario

Come on!! The faces came out great.. the paint is clean and smooth.. and just enough highlights to bring out the facial features.. too bad they won't be seen very clearly inside the vehicle

Hisham

I agree with Brent..

Thanks for the positive comments guys!

The figures are installed to their seats and the interior is finished. Now I will fix the roof and the doors hoping some of the work on the interior would still be visible...

Here's some progress. I didn't like Blast add-on armor and decided to build my own from scratch... I still need to add some rivets to the armor.



Mario

Hi Mario i look a good progress.I will follow the next steps.

Here's some progress... black undercoat:





and then camo painting using J's work masks:









add-on armor was painted sand:





I'll try to subdue the colors a bit with a filter or something, but the camo is pretty much finished. Now the stowage, weapons ring, etc...

Mario

Stunning detail mate, good model indeed!! will it be going onto a little dio base will it??
Nice one
Si

Great progress Brother.J's work masks look useful.

Looking really good there! Great job on all aspects of this build!

Great paint job Mario, how did you like J's works masks, I heard the one they produce for tanks aren't the best.



Kind regards, Sven.

Thanks guys, it's still a long road ahead... and yes, I'm planning a small vignette for it.

As for the masks, I have heard all the stories on J's work but decided to give them a go anyway. The masks proved to be a big help although some parts are too big and not accurately shaped so I had to do quite a lot of extra work...

Mario

Coming along very nice. I like how your crew looks. I wish I could paint figure as good...perhaps, in future that will change. Also, I will sure to check out J's work mask and other stuff because I'm not familiar with this outfit. Keep up the good work

Mike

The suspension is finished and installed. The tires will be added after all the painting and weathering is done... I do have one question. I'm adding the stowage and don't know what to use for the best effect. The rear shelf with jerry cans is definitely on, but what to add on the rear hatch? Here are the options:





The first is a camo net with two large backpacks, and the second one is a hatch shelf with some crew gear. I'm inclined to go with the first option, although I have not seen many Humvees with camo net... There is also a third option, but I would prefer to put the spare tire to the front brushguard.
