Nice bit of progress before you head off for your vacation! As to the question on paint removal, it depends on the paint used and how much paint you're trying to remove. If it's just a little bit of paint, careful work with a wooden toothpick can often be enough...if it's something more substantial, then careful work with a qtip moistened with solvent may also be needed.

Nice pictures!!! I didn't realize there was a war museum in Paris. Bet you saw a lot of old rifles that were never fired but dropped twice. Your Hummer is looking good! Hope you are still planning to do the figure?

Thanks Andy, yeah it really doesn't have any vehicles in it other than the ones I posted but it has a ton of weapons and uniforms right back to the 15th century, I'm just compiling them into an album and will give you guys the link... As for the M1151 I will add a sniper in the turret and I'm still thinking of a diorama. Here is the link to my pictures from the army museum in Paris.. s467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/martyn_16/Paris%20army%20museum/Martyn

Hey Martyn,
Looks good matey, interesting twist with the figure!
They say history is written by winners, That explains the empty pages in french history books!! Only kidding guys!

Hi Martyn, nice build and weathering monotone paint schemes are the hardest to make look right, I think anyway Thanks for sharing the Paris pics too!

Looking good Martyn, nice to see this one progressing! On a side note, seeing the Pz II and Renault turrets reminds me of just how small/cramped those early war vehicles were!

Looks great Martin! Nice finish. I dig the camo on the figure and his M14. I was lucky enough to see two brand new versions of this hummer of these on the back of a semi yesterday, heading South out of Chicago. Unfortunately, by the time I saw them they were gone so no pic:)

Sweet build! I think it's saying "put me on an awesome desert base", isn't it?
