Well guys here she is, I really had a lot of fun doing this one. It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. As is said before I rarely ever do armor and this is my first 3 color paint scheme. I know that I have to improve on my weathering skills. I really didn’t do much in the way of weathering this, just a dry brush with Tamiya”s Buff, airbrushed over it with a very thinned Tamiya’s Deck Tan. I probably should have did some sort of wash…the next. If anyone can suggest or comment on any improvements, I’d gladly take notes.

Looks nice,

I would have used some AM tires for a more weighted look.

Should be a screen over the fan too and a few other small details but it's pretty good

The shelter scratch built?

I like it... the whole build is fascinating. As for weathering; I'd try rain marks... it can be really nice on 3 color paint scheme.

Here's the link to the technique:

Hope it helps,

It's look very nice. It's very good that you haven't done much weathering in my opinion. Maybe try to add some dust or very little mud on it.

Joe thats a very well done GPP Hummer you built. Do you have any photos of the interior?

Your scratch building kungfu is definitely strong with this one.

As for weathering, i actually prefer it clean the way you have done. That way you dont hide the great detail that you have created.

Very impressive!

HI

Great to see something other than your basic HUMMER

Good job.
