Completed Hummer

hey kenny, dio still looks great, but just some food for thought. the antenna should be tied down, the missle blackblast would pretty much melt it off. another thing, kinda small, but not sure how detailed you wanna go, there should be the big black thick J1 cable comming from the top of the MGS into the turret hatch. you won't see the cable going to the actual system because it feeds thorugh circular hole the travering unit is latched onto. but you would see it from the MGS going into the truck. and i can't really tell because the lighting isn't the best, and its a little blurry, but the day sight should have one lense green tinted, and the other red tinted. the night sight on top, which you have painted, should be a glossy black, kinda like modern IR lenses. like i said, food for though. looks great.

I always loved doing the 25 mile roadmarches with the 11B's you know they called us Tired of Walking (TOW) but it never failed no 11H ever fell out but a bunch of 11B's always did. Always made me feel so much better to be a 11H

Just be very careful Kenny.  This 11B knows where you live, where you work and especially WHERE YOU SHOP FOR YOUR MODELS!

As for TOW system, my friend is a AT Platoon leader stationed in Korea and his unit (Infantry) still uses TOW system. 

i was reclassed to 11B after serving a few years in an anti-tank unit. so i had the best of both worlds. i really miss the TOW though, carrying the AT4 sucks!! hehe. when i was 11H we used to always joke with the B's, when they would give us crap, they always called us when then needed some bigger firepower or a ride looking at your dio and trying to remember the name of the guidance set, (the MGS), i feel like i am in the turret again. take care guys.

thanks TiKing glad you liked the build.

thought of that stuff rooster but i didnt feel like scratch building i usually build OOB. as for the antenna if you notice the rear cover is still on the missle i was gonna portray the vehichle in training using the MILES system but yet again laziness prevails :) but thanks for the input . maybe next time if i have more time i will add a little more even the cammo netting on the rear tailgate :)

lol M1 that is bad if i see some one low crawling after me i know it is you :)

Hey Kenny I reconise that rocket laucher or is it a RPG? well that the same weapon that came with my wille jeep, but I didn't set it up on it.

The stream is good too, but where do you get the material to get that effect?

T-Rex the weapon system on the hummer is a TOW missle system. TOW stands for tube launched optically tracked wire guided.

for the stream i used kids play sand i  picked up at home depot the rocks in the bed of the stream are from woodland scenics and so is the water. if you go to there site they have lots of godd stuff.
