HMMWV M1151 Academy 1/35

[Guest]

Hi all,

My first ever armored vehicle build, fun to build, excellent detail, nice fitting, overall an awesome model. I painted the whole thing using the cheap AB, and it works just fine

Sorry for the photo quality, i use my phone...

As usual, any comments or critics are welcomed. [ATTACH]80414.IPB[/ATTACH]

Very nice indeed, always fancied having a crack at a modern AFV.

I like this very much the weathering is top notch

[Guest]

Thanks all for the kind words, i used powdered 4B pencil for the weathering And surprisingly it works just fine.

What a great little build. Can I ask though why you have not painted the framing on the armoured glass on the turret. It's only a little thing but it does distract the eye on an otherwise great build.

Good job on the paint and weathering as well.

[Guest]

That's really nice! Good paint & weathering. I'd like to have a crack at one of these myself!

Lovely build, quality finish and weathering. I am with Ian regarding the armoured glass, just needs finishing as it looks odd. Otherwise, sublime model.

I'm sure that with a steady hand and a good brush you could brush paint them on. It Looks like you can even cut a bit of masking tape to mask the window part. Is there a frame moulded in, or is it just flat...

There is a frame moulded in. I should be able to mask them next time.

Hi again, so i touches up the armoured glass and painted them as well as i could after input from Ian and Si, and i painted the figures that comes with the box. Hopefully it improves my built, as usual Any comments are welcomed!!

Cheers
