Clean build and great weathering!

Looks like it has seen some actions. I would recommend more dust on the tires to really give it a look as if it has driven on sand.

It's really transformed from the last picture! I particularly like the dusty/muddy windshield effect you have going and the detail on the stowage right down to the bottled water is a very well done. Thumbs Up [tup]

Great build and paint, Jess. I like the camera/nightvision mount on the helmet. I just figured out that if I right click on the image, then > open image in new window > I can see the full size of the picture and all it's details.

Really a great looking hummer there! I like the effect of the chipped paint, gives it that well-worn and operational look. Keep the pics coming when you get the last bits added.

Pretty nice looking build. I especially like the chipped paint effect.

Just a comment, but in the first picture there are noticeable mold seams on the bedroll, and on the lower TOW sighting mechanism. In addition, the windshield wipers don't come anywhere near touching the windshield...Do you have the windshield pushed as far forward as it can go?

And just out of curiosity, where are the headlights?--Maybe some of the bits still yet to be added?

Looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

Well guys thanks for the tips thats why I post these pics , you guys always pick up the things I seem to miss like the windshield wipers and the seams on the stowage , I still have to add the headlights got to make a trip to the LHS for some silver., Riley Pro I got the dusty windshield effect by lightly spraying it with the airbrush and then smearing it just a bit with a piece of plastic.

Thanks again for all the feedback guys.

You've done a real nice job on this project! the detail and the chipping affect you have achieve is excellent. I agree with some of the more experienced guys on their points of critque, but all things considered I'd be proud to display it any place in my home. semper fi, mike
