I have had some problems uploading the final pictures with the windshield. I hope this time it will work.


First I used the windshield piece to make a draw to imitate the rain marks:






I used that draw to transfer the image to tape:










Then I placed the tape in the clear plastic pieces:






And I airbrushed a very dilluted layer of tan and made some thicker markings with the brush:






I also sprayed some paint with a thick old brush and this is how it looks:






Then I painted the inner part of the roof and the rubber borders of the glass:






And this is how it looks all together:

This is some superb work going on here .......... Great weathering tips. I'm going to have to watch the rest of this build.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments!


I've had some crazy weeks at work and I couldn't find a minute to post my advances, but finally here they are:


I finished painting the roof canvas with some desert camo:






















I had the image in my head of a humvee ramming a door (still don't remember if I saw that in Generation Kill, Call of Duty or the news...) Anyway, I thought it was a powerful image so I just tried something like that:


First I painted and weathered one of the rubber tires of the kit:






Then I cut a pewter sheet to get a sling:










Next, I placed the tire in the grid:






Some adjustments and a photoetched hook:














And there you have, a menacing ram!






Afterwards I airbrushed some green and brown, just like if the owners would haved use some spray cans, as you can see in some pictures:














Step by step, it's nearly to be finished...


Regards!

Anyway, here you have the update and final pics of this project!


Adding some dust, I finished the canvas roof of the vehicle:

And that's it!


I think it looks more or less as I wanted, and I hope you enjoyed watching the process as much as I enjoyed building and painting it!


Regards!!
