Re: Academy 1/35 M1151 Armored Humvee

Hit a big SNAFU: my compressor died :-\ . But I have another one on the way. Got this far with paint before it died:



Thanks

Thirsty?



So here is the start of the base. I ordered some of that paint chipping stuff from MIG to try on the doors to the building. I think I will change the brick color, lots of washes and dry brushing done so far:




Also put a wash on the m1151. Decided to paint the hood green, seen some this way in the field so thought it would be different:



I need to finish the turret and attach the doors. Plus I need to rig up some kind of strap for the stowage on the back:



Other minor things to do also then the car will be done. Thanks for looking

I like the green hood. Adds some pop to the CARC for sure.

OK so I started applying some pigments. Here is the interior so far:



need to paint that Coke top red!



And here is the vehicle on the base with the repainted bricks, I like this a lot better. Also started pigmenting the vehicle itself and glued an antenna in place but I think I need to trim it:



Now with the turret attached:



Thanks for looking everyone. Working with pigment is a lot of fun.

Still working with pigments and put some decals on:

Trying out some splatter techniques to simulate mud getting flung on the sides. Thanks for looking.

Re: Academy 1/35 M1151 Armored Humvee

Thanks! I added the gun and more pigments, think I am done with those for the moment, only a few parts left to finish and the vehicle will be done.







I'm enjoying the pigments a lot. It is really easy to fix a boo boo. Thanks for looking!

Good work with the mud. I've always found it difficult to get it look natural and realistically random. Mine always seems forced and too consistent.

Re: Academy 1/35 M1151 Armored Humvee

So I am trying to get some rain streaks going on the building face. One I messed up and need to fix but it's going well. Also flat coated it to get rid of some shiny spots.






Thanks for looking.
