Is white tube solid or hollow ?    Use hair drier or what to bend it around what ?                                                                   


It is solid round Styrene. On this build,  I used some jewellery looping pliers similar to these, as mine are a noname brand probably cheaper.


used carefully they work quite well, but sometime can leave a bit of a mark, but if you are not fussy, far less faffing around than the other tried and true methods mentioned such as hot water or hair drier.
Check out craft stores or craft markets. The Jewellery boys and girls have some quite neat toys and tools that are worth a look.

the HMMWV proceeds, albeit slowly. Much improved resin wheels only highlights the poor construction of the suspension. It is a bit see saw. Base will fix that

So paintshop and things are almost, almost there
considering you can see almost nothing of the gear in the back


Stuff needs to be tied on


Couple more bits to go on


Few final paint jobs, some final bits and bobs then back to you shortly with the finished model

I like the splash of color on the details. The weathering is superb too.

My stuff always looks like it just rolled out of the factory. Weathering is such an art and this is a great example.
