Man this is really cool. That sucks about how bad the Black Dog set is. There were some of their sets that I wanted for aircraft.

It's only when you see how small this is in 1/48 you appreciate your efforts, brilliant work.

Man this is really cool. That sucks about how bad the Black Dog set is. There were some of their sets that I wanted for aircraft. I haven't tried those sets for aircrafts so you might want to ask around before you buy one. Glad you liked it... thanks Medicman! That's a lot of stuff crammed into a tiny kit,but man, it makes a real difference. Thanks Tony! Can't wait to finish it soon... too much work and traveling this month! Alot of great detail...youve done a commendable job of pushing through the Black Dog hurdles. I was so glad when that part was over. I opted to skip the radio tower after looking at several pictures and not all of them had those. Thank goodness!!! Thanks for looking Buddho! Thanks buddy! I don't think my fat fingers want to deal with those tiny parts again for a long time.  This is awesome! Didn't realize it was 1/48 at first, so much detail. Glad you like what you are seeing. You should see it at our next club meeting hopefully. I really need to find time to finish it or I will not get my $20 or $25 back!!!  |

That turned out great. Packed with details and in 1/48 to boot! Thanks keavdog … really appreciate you stopping by!!! Hard to believe it has been nearly a month since my last update! I have been traveling and working like crazy for last three weeks. But I managed to find time to work on the Humvee before the club meeting. I won’t get my $20 back if I don’t finish it by the deadline last Friday but I MADE IT!!! However it is 99% completed, I still need to add the side mirros and paint the spot lights then I can officially call it DONE!      Of course I forgot to take pictures of the interior before I attached the top on for good! You will find some dirt on the floors like you have seen in those Humvees. I have 3D printed of 1/48 IDF soldiers and I will be working on them soon and create a diorama base too. Thanks for looking! |

handiabled- Glad you liked it… thanks! kyledehart5- Thanks buddy… it felt that great when it is done. Now I need to find time to work on the figures and the base. Here’s snap shot of 3D printed soldiers that I ordered from Spain. I will only use 3 or 4 figures…

I can't believe how good that conversion came out. Those instructions were dicey, at best!

I hope to finish my Humvee build over the weekend!!! While I was upgrading my workbench recently, I found a small diorama based in Vietnam that I made for a friend last year but he changed his mind. I thought to myself why not use it for my little Humvee but there were no red clay/soil in Israel so I sprayed sand & tan paint and applied beach sand & Middle East sand pigments afterward. I trimmed the 1/35 tall grass to 1/48 scale then I toned down the color of green to make them look duller and drier.  I think it came out good so it is now ready!  I have been painting four 3D printed IDF soldiers for couple of weeks and they are almost done! More to come... |

I really like how that’s turned out. As for getting together, you just let me know. My schedule is much lighter in January and February into March. Maybe I can make it to one of your meetings now or we can meet up for dinner somewhere. Whatever sounds good. |
