Just seen this one Terry and a great idea looking good so far

Looks very nice Terry - funny how vehicle lots seem to go together easier than their winged brethren!

I know what you mean Patrick then again I guess you can hide seem lines and alike with weathering on vehicles.

Thanks Ian

The Hummer is coming along nicely now. I have gone or should I say I am going for the well used look the sort of pool vehicle that gets abused. Thers is still a ways to go with this part of the whole dio but I feel it could well be worth it.[ATTACH]84382.IPB[/ATTACH]

Today I started the base and painted the underside of the airframe. I still need to paint out some of the remvable panels on the underside in white.

The base is done with filler and once dry will be covered in PVA then sand sprinkled over that. I ran out of filler so will have to go and get some tomorrow [ATTACH]84486.IPB[/ATTACH]

The plastering is finished and I have now added the first coat of sand. The second coat will cover any plaster still showing. The next job after that is finishing the plane and putting it in place permanently. I am thinking of adding a trailer behind the hummer with a few aircraft bits on.[ATTACH]84624.IPB[/ATTACH]
