20 mm HMMWV's for Gamers
« on: July 26, 2014, 09:43:56 PM »
as I said in the past......
I am a producer of small scale armor.....
one of the things I do is models for gamers.......
Now,..... ten years ago I did a 1025 HMMWV as a 2 pack for gammers......
one with a .50 cal, and one with the TOW missile system.
So from here on out.... I call this HMMWV #1



about a month ago...... I decided to "up-date" my HMMWV,
so I took a cast of the 1025 and sanded away the details,
and came out  with is this.
HMMWV #2

















I then took a cast of that HMMWV (#2)
sanded away the deatils and came up with this.....
HMMWV #3















Here is a pic, of #2 and #3 side by side.




I have even taken it a step Farther by taking a cast of "this one" (#3),
sanded away the details and came out with this one.
HMMWV #4



















I am currently working on the next HMMWV.....
I wonder how it will turn out. :)

Oh almost forgot..... people have asked and the answer is "yes"
The turrets are available as separate items.....
and the will fit both Dragon and Revell HMMWV's without Modification to the model(s).

Please tell me what you think.
Oh...BTW who else produces Resin HMMWV's? (in 20 mm)
I searched and searched but could not find them (if they are out there)

Great selection. I'm no HMMMV expert (although I might be close after I tackle my Generation Kill project of three in 1/48th later this year) but they look "right" to me. 

From a gamer viewpoint there's a couple of things I really like, the moulding in clear resin, ok painting around can be tricky but it makes them look so much more than resin blocks and the improvement in the quality of your detailing over the years is evident and neat to see. Oh and a crewman too, solves one of the biggest problems which is sourcing hatch crew .........
