1/48 Tamiya IDF Humvee

[handiabled]

For the issues you battled through with the resin and the transformation of the base this turned out wonderful! Masterful work

[Tojo72]

Whoa,that's a great looking scene,vehicle fits right in on the base,and the 1/48 figs look great

I've not yet gotten a resin conversion from anyone that did not require a goodish amount of suffering to install and complete. The best ones are, I think, from Legend and even they are skeechy at best. They also have an unusually obnoxious gas chamber aroma when being flat sanded that I don't figure does me much good so these days I lean towards avoiding them altogether.

That being said, you've produced an excellent result from this mess, way to hang tough

How's that Panther coming?

Man, that looks great. Those 48th figures turned out great as well. Painting those in that scale is hard, you killed it.

It definitely felt good that it came out good. I will be very keen to buy another set like this from now on. LOL Thanks buddy!

Thanks Tojo! One of reasons why I build so slow... diorama and figures are a MUST for me! It was fun most of the times. It is always good hearing from you... thanks!

Likewise... in the past it is usually just stowage sets and it wasn't that bad so this was my first true resin conversion/upgrade set and it nearly killed me! LOL  Glad you liked it too.  

What Panther?  OHHHH, yep I finally got to return it to the bench last night and I hope to spray camo on it soon!  I don't think I can finish it by the 31st but aiming for end of January.

Stunning work.

[deafpanzer]

Thanks Lyle!!! It was fun except for the 3D printed figures and it was a good learning experience for me how to deal with 3D printed figures.

I totally missed this one when you pulled it across the finish line Andy. With all of the detail that's in this build I had to go back and see if it wasn't a Ryefield kit BUT.....I should've known that it was you and your skills working your magic on this Tamiya kit. Love the model, the additions you put INTO the model and the ground work. Just pure perfection across the board. WOW!! And I DO mean me some WOW!!!! You sure gave this one the ol' one-two brother.
