Hi guys!
I've just finished my humvee. It's Tamiya upgraded with Eduard brass and some scratchbuilded parts - rear doors elements and supplemental armor. Driver and gunner are from kit, others are DML modern marines. Maybe it should be less weathered but it's first time I used MiG pigments.

I think you overdid it just a little bit. But you could always lighten it up. Nice build there. I like the figures especially the camo job on their BDU's.

Love it. It's not tan!
The grunts are great.
Even though most of the head lines and action come from sand land, we still have troops all over the planet. Most wear wood land and the rigs are not all tan.

Thanks for your comments
As I mentioned before I'm not satisficed with weathering. I love dirty tanks and cars but it's very hard to archieve right efect.
Short about figures: I used Humbrol enamels. First painted overall in tan then green, brown and finnaly black. For each color I used two different shades and subtle drybrushing for highlights. Faces are painted with artists oil but I need some more practice

Looks good, great job on the figures. I agree with Bergstiger- I'm more partial to the woodland camoflage anyday.
