base kit is the academy m-997
detail sets-
eduard hmmwv placards
verlinden m1025 armament carrier set
legend idf m997
e.t. model blue force tracker set
donor parts from academy m1151 and a ruined tamiya m1046




and some more progress

WOW!

That's a very impressive start.

Can you elaborate which Tamiya parts you'll be using?

Also puzzled by use of the Legend IDF conversion, I built that one to make a IDF ambulance and found it pretty poor with "shrunken" undersize parts.

Cheers,

tamiya parts - steering column/wheel, brake lever, driver seat, passenger seat back, and random suspension parts, also front brush gaurd (thanks to sgt.sauer)...as for the legend set mine was also shrunk and many parts warped so i salvaged the mirrors and the vent and backplate thats on the front passenger side of the shell body...and thanks

hopefully by later today ill have a base coat on the body and hood and ill post more pics then

all things green



including the verlinden doors (way better then the kit ones btw)


unfortunately it was dark by the time I felt safe handling the model so i'll have to wait til tomorrow to get some better pictures outside

Very interesting build, looking forward to see it done. But please find a piece of white paper and make photos on this clean background.

camos on and everything should start coming together soon....sorry for more crappy pics but didn't get back from work until after dark again

Well done! Nice camo and interior

some progress on the chassis...


and the exhaust...base coat was tamiya hull red, then a wash of mig earth and while it was still wet i dabbed on oxide pigment...once dry it will get a dark wash and some dry brushing then it should be done...

Why didn't You cut off the exhaust parts, join them together and then paint and weather it? And, in my opinion, it's too rusty.

Excellent job with interior and camouflage. Well done!

didn't think of that until i was already committed thank you though and i do agree...that's why i'm hoping the wash will darken it up and then i can drybrush just a little bit to bring out certain parts

Great work on the painting and interior Calvin.

cheers
Walter

a little progress...been really hard to find time lately
