For my Humvee I am looking for some suitable crew members. Another option is to sculpt my own figures but for that I need some pictures of soldiers and their uniforms and gear.

I hope someone can help me,
Marc

hi Marc, I recently remember a post here about Humwee crew but the price was too high. I think best way is to convert some figures;if you can tell us is it a OIF, Aphganistan,Gulf war or what ,we can tell you reference links for uniforms and gear.

Sure, the Humvee will be situated in Bosnia/Kosovo during the recent conflict.
The only set I know of is the one from Warriors but it has a rather high price and I don't know if I can use them.

Thanks in advance,
Marc

You can find many references about the US uniforms in Bosnia making a search about 6 color woodland BDU .

M1046

Oops... forgot about the manufacturer

M966 - Academy. This one I think was in the Vietnam era.

M1025 - Tamiya. Pretty nice for the desert wars

M1046 - Tamiya. Quite ok too.

Both M966 and M1025 have pretty good figures. As with the M0146, haven't got this kit so I can't give a good review.
