Thanks, Jacek



One small detail - a Duke controler's base:


Also I've started the painting of Humvee. A chaos at this moment, but I'm on the right way

Just catching up with your work as I've been out visiting Reno Air races. Your small rein bit is nice and I like the small round shockers. I bet those were bit of a challenge in this scale

I'm painting almost every day, but usually it's only maybe half an hour with a brush. It's not a race Some elements are already ready, most interesting of them - Boomerang and CROWS:

Well, race it might not be but a race you are putting for rest of us to catchup too... your skill level that is

Nice work brother, they both look awesome! I have 1/16 M-ATV and I want to put both of your above items on it. I have found a 1/16 boomerang antenna in that scale but no Crow set up. Guess, I'll have to get a 1/35 and try and copy it.

I didn't like plain CROWS monitor, so I've printed markings:

Bottom and 'legs' will be improved of course.

1 grosz is a Polish 1 'cent', approximately 1.55 cm (~0.6'') diameter.

The vignette:






I'm not completely happy, it has made me a little ugly prank, but I'll leave it... I know what to do better in the next one.

Wiring work is amazing on the roller, this humvee is a piece of art.

I have too a legend conversion for M1151 and in the box, there are several resin parts which have a lot of distorsions. I'm thinking to rebuilt them with plastic sheets.

I wouldn't call it 'a piece of art' at all, but thanks a lot for very kind words


Legend conversion has several quite big parts and as You know it very well - the bigger part is the more it can bend in molding process. I hope you manage to fix (or rebuild) these elements.

Interior almost done, there will be one backpack in the trunk, and maybe some minor stowage:





Humvee joined with the SPARK (roof not glued):








Fitting with the rest on the vignette:







Unfortunately, I had to give up a figure sitting in a Humvee - I couldn't match him to a seat and opened door. Even remodeling would rather change anything - it would still look unnaturally. But there is a bright side of this situation - one ACUPAT less to paint

Front Duke antenna (rectangular) is a little bit improved - it was molded by Panda Models as completely flat at the backside.

I need a new jaw now, I dropped mine!
It was a great read and interesting to go through this. I have no clue about modern armor, so this build did get me introduced to it, simply amazing! I love the work with your AM parts, so smooth and clean!

Awesome ! The piece of road is cool, the bitumen paint is very nice. Impressive level of details on the humvee.
