Here are some shots of my HEMTT. Lots of work still to do. Some filler will be needed here and there. The tank and fuel module are not glued on yet. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks to Brent for the water bottles.

There is a Skittles bag on the driver's side on the console. I am thinking of putting some spilled Skittles on the floor and/or seat. What do you think about that? Or will it be confusing w/ all those little colored "pebbles."











Don't mind the shiny parts either. I am in the middle of decaling and I have hit a roadblock. The kit decals are no good for a desert camo truck, and I have run out of generic stenclilling. I plan on redoing the JP-8 decals since they did not turn out straight.

Some parts like the front window weather stripping has only been blocked in and still needs to be touched up. I have started pinwashing the chassis so I could mount the top parts.

Here is a shot showing the ladder I made that mounts behind the passenger, above the winch. Have to add some hooks on the ladder and a mount on the truck.

Looks great, like it's ready to refuel some tanks.

I like the amount of washes you applied on the axles and bolts. Very realistic. The interior junk does add a personal touch.

Keep the progress shots coming!

Looking good Burik, great truck......if you leave the doors open, the skittles spilled all over the floor would be a nice touch, but making the skittles bag more visible, I guess......

Congrats

Cheers
