On another forum not that long ago, there was a discussion of the HMMWV and a stretched 6X6 as well as a shorter version to be used as a gun tractor or gun truck.  I like both ideas and would love to find the time to build a 6X6 and a shorty version one of these days.

Certainly not what you would call an ordinary HMMWV.  The raised roof section is interesting but what caught my eye were the periscopes above the driver position mounted in the roof.

Also quite interesting (and logical) is using the NSVT in place of the M2 or Mk 19.  Neat model all over to be sure, made all the more interesting by the fact that it appears 'real' rather than 'whif'.

After performing a quick check-fit of the HMMWV TOW cupola to the M50 Ontos last night I got to thinking about what could be done with the 106mm Recoilless Rifle mount from the Ontos.  Since the hole in the top of the HMMWV Weapons Carrier is the same diameter as the hole in the Ontos it might be simple enough to just drop the cupola from the Ontos on to the top of the HMMWV Weapons Carrier and make a two or four recoilless rifle mount.  Obviously the lower weapons would need to be left off in order for the cupola to rotate freely.  A two-recoiless rifle mount might be an interesting diversion.

Another idea that I had originally shared on another forum a long time ago and far, far away (from this topic: Armor Fighting Vehicle Concepts From SketchUp (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=138.0) on: December 22, 2011, 08:04:41)

The argument to whether the HMMWV could actually carry the Quad .50 mount is based on the fact that the Avenger Air Defense Missile System is mounted on a HMMWV and it is very large and bulky so I figured this would fit and might actually work with a little imagination.  I claim no authorship for either of the SketchUp models that were used for this digital kit bash.  I simply combined the components from the two models together to come up with this concept as a means to share an idea for the purpose of discussion. 

(http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/16267_197507068531_722638531_2923925_1455721_n.jpg) (http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/16267_197523388531_722638531_2924037_379608_n.jpg) (http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/16267_197514403531_722638531_2923994_6487968_n.jpg) (http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/16267_197514408531_722638531_2923995_1362887_n.jpg)

Frank3K took this concept and actually built it: HMMWV with Quad .50 (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=240.0).  It was nice to see an idea go from a concept to a digital 3D model and eventually to an actual physical model in plastic.

The original 3D models were created by someone else and uploaded to the 3D Warehouse at SketchUp (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/).  I can take credit for kit-bashing the various components together to come up with the concept but other people made the models that were used for this project.

those tracks will fit almost any vehicle.  OK for on the flat but for cross-country you should fit travel- & steering-stops otherwise you could damage your mudguards / bodywork.

Rear wheels appear to be rubbing against the top of the fender, going anywhere fast or over rough terrain will result in a lot of ruined tyres. :)

Is there one of those silly "Owner's Manual" books for the HMMWV?  Maybe get Google to translate the applicable Technical Manuals to a language that can be understood by the current owner/operators?    :)

If they had done the proper research it might have resulted in the removal of the hard top from the rear half of the vehicle with the additional benefit of placing the weight over the rear axle instead of hanging it out over the back end.

What has always struck me about the HMMWV is how little room there is, inside, despite the external size of the vehicle.   The one I've examined was a hard top it had only seats for four soldiers.   A long-wheelbase Landrover which is narrower and about the same length has room for ten (I have seen nineteen in one though).

In my experience, the number of seats in a US Army vehicle is no indication of how many people it can carry. There are even some long standing jokes about it.

A: Two more!

Well, that's reassuring. I thought it was only the Corps that did this.

I started out as an 0311 (Rifleman) and we would pack those 5-tons to the bursting point (moreso when we were headed back to garrison from the field than headed out on an FEX).  Later, I lat-moved to Data Comm and learned that there was a supposed "max pax" of 20 in the back of those same 5-tons.  I had never heard of such lunacy! All that wasted space!

In regards to the HMMWV mounted quad fifty, I found a towed M45 system molded in plastic and in 1/72 scale on eBay today. Unfortunately, as like most retirees, my check has run out so I have to wait until the end of the month to add it and an appropriate Hummer to carry it.
I'd also like to ask this, what happened to the variety of Hummers in 72nd scale? At one time they were all over the place, now, it's hard to find even one ambulance from Revell. One would think that with how well their other kits in this scale that either Aoshima, Fukimi, or Hasegawa would be either be purchasing unused molds form a very popular European company or making their own. As I earlier stated, it seems that in real life, wheeled vehicles are the most common types of combatant
 'soft' skins seen in most conflicts and news reports.

That's one of the LMA002 prototypes, LM stands for "Lamborghini Militaria", the
gun is most likely a  mockup and the LM series wasn't part of the HMMWV program,
it grew out of the FMC built, but not designed, XR311 for the High Mobility Combat
Vehicle
(HMCV) program. Lamborghini bought the XR311 design and used it to develop
the mid-rear engined Cheetah, which was followed by the LM001. The engine position
wasn't ideal so Lamborghini designed the front-engined LM002.

The Saudis were supposedly going to buy a bunch of the LMA002 but it didn't happen.

The only LM002 models are expen$ive 1/18 diecasts, 1/43rd diecasts starting around US $50 and going up,
1/64th collector diecasts and a Matchbox version, also 1/64th. New Ray did a 1/32nd diecast back around
2005-2006, but they seem to be fairly rare now and expensive used.

The Tamiya XR311 has been re-released at least twice and can currently be found new online, and on ebay,

 ;D :-\

p.s. that Otaki Cheetah is in the US $300 range, and the Tomita 1/62 US $100 +.  ;D
