Heres a few pics of my US SF Dumvee in progress for the Humvee campaign. Its Tamiyas m1025 with pro asrts humvee interior set and scratch built dumvee parts such as the rear panels. The pro art set is a bit pricey for me and as I already had the interior set I figured I could use that and build the rest. This is the first Humvee ive started for the campaign and it invloves quite a bit of work, still the dumvee is a really cool looking and definately worth making. All comments welcome, thanks for looking!

Impressive. I don't think I've seen anyone detail the underside of the front dash like that. What did you do to the rear hatch? Just cut it off?

Thanks for the praise guys!

Jeff-Yup, just carved it off. It came of pretty easy but did need some sanding and cleaning.

David-The heater duct hoses are simple garden wire, the stuff used to tie plants to posts etc, with some fine solder wire coiled aroind it to give the correct finish. Its very easy and looks perfect.

Rob-Id love to see the m998! What blowers do you mean? Got a pic? I know there are some missing from the rear but they woulnt be seen and invlove too much work.
