Hi all...this is my complete humvee...it's only my 2nd humvee...and the return to models...I know there are some errors....all comments are welcome...












Ciro

Personally I love it. I had saved these pics on my hard drive just to look at. I'm no military personel but I like what I see. I love that newspaper and sign in the back. I love the small details. Great job man. Always been a fan of the two color paint sheme. Awesome work.

Good taste on the teeny details. I love the way the paper, the boxes and the signboard fill up the vehicle. One comment though, the glass looks more like frosted than dusted. You just sprayed dull coat over the glass right?

Thanks for comments Ralph and Charle.... ehm I'm agree about the windows.. next humvee will be better :-)

Ciro

CIro,

THat humvee rocks! Aside from what has been said about the windows, my only critique is, "where is the radio antenna?". Again, beautiful job.

Gary

You know best about your errors but I don't see them! Good job!!!

Gary

Ciro, ma il cartello e le scatole dell'acqua minerale le hai comprate oppure le hai fatte tu?
Sto cercando da tempo qualcosa per evitare acquisto.
Anyway your work is really wanderfull.
ciao

Show us more!!!

Ciao,

Ciao Ciro,

Very nice work. I like the color combinations and subtle weathering. The HMMWV is the center of attention not the weathering..

What did you use to dust the windshield? Something you could try if you are not happy with it is to "clean" the windshield with a cotton swab that is just damp with a little of the appropriate thinner (alcohol for acrylic, etc. ). Makes it look like the window was cleaned by the driver with a rag or something. Just think of how a real one is cleaned and rub it the same way.

Oh yeah, what did you wrap the tailgate chains with to create the rubber sleeving? Everything I tried on mine failed to produce a good look.

Again, nice job.

My only 'pick' is the window blocks (what else to call something 3in. thick!) on the crew doors. Did you heavily 'dust' them too or are they painted over in tan? If they're painted over, I've never seen the up-armor glass treated that way in or out of theater. Nice model nonetheless. Add the requisite miniature copy of (your pick) Maxim/Stuff/FHM and it'll look right at home.

Hi again.....
thanks to all for your comments and suggestions,my original idea was to depict an humvee parked and not operative...so when it parked I think that all block windows are coverd by dust but in my model it's to heavy...sure next work I'll do not this error....

Humvee #3



Ciro

Ciro,

I think you can fix it at this model... just wipe off the dust or make widshield cleaners marks.

At the side blocks you can also wipe off, letting the heavy dust only at ehe borders, depicting the accumulation of dust at those areas.

I hope this help!

Bye,

Marcelo

do you mean a thing like this?!........



Ciro

Ciro nice work. Well done and nicely finished. Keep up the good work can't wait to see the third one you are working on. Nice work.

Looking good. Where did the water boxes come from? They really add that local touch.

Antoher great looking Hummer added to the campaign album Ciro.

Are you going to add a starp to the hatch back to secure the water bottle boxes?

Well done, Ciro! I like it a lot. The build is very good, the paint job is excellent, and the subtle weathering strikes my fancy. As other have mentioned, the windows are the weak spot. That said, if this is just your second model since coming back to the hobby, it is waaaay better than anything I've been able to crank out so far. Especially considering you used the Eduard photoetch set.

Cheers!

Hi all,thanks for all your comments and suggestions....in next days I'll add some straps to secure water boxes,antenna,and I'll try to clean windows blocks....actually I'm building another humvee...I want to improve my skill.The subject have the same items more or less but different colours....now I have some free time and maybe I'll finish it this year....water boxes come from a file that Marcelo Riberio(I don't remember very well )gave us on armorama....some mounths ago...I have used Eduard Pe set for exterior details and 1026 doors another set of eduard....kit was tamiya...next model has interior details.....many thanks again for all your comments.....

Safe
