HMMWV M1151 Academy 1/35

[phikoleoputra]

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. View attachment 80414

[Eric Kirwan]

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

 

[Alan 45]

I like this very much the weathering is top notch

 

[phikoleoputra]

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

 

[Ian M]

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.

It has worked a treat and thanks for the tip I shall be pinching it

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

Well, the work on the glass looks immense and finishes off an already superb model. Outstanding work Leo, one of my faves.
