Here is one of my current armor projects, Bronco’s 1/35 M1114 Up Armored HUMVEE. I plan to make this into a diorama. I will also scratch build a steel truss bridge using internet reference searched under Iraq steel bridges.

Dio setup…Humvee parked just short of the mouth of the bridge, EOD figure walking out over the bridge, second figure setting up robot and the third scanning the sector. The figures a from Black Dog’s EOD sets.

I did a little work to the back wall by adding in sliding doors and used cigarette foil.

I started the weather to the underside before adding the frame. The weathering powder used is from MMP #5 sand and #4 desert dust.

Here an update, I started working on my Sparks system using Evergreen Plastic. I was able to score some measurements from a friend. The Humvee is 97% finished, just need to add on the doors, weapons and some weathering.

That looks awesome Joe. Great scratch-build job. I love it.

By the way, I started the UH-60L MedEvac using the set you mastered for Werner's Wings. It is coming along great. I'll post some pics tomorrow of it in the Helo Forum.

Well I got her finished. I was able to get done Friday afternoon. After which I finish off another a project that I started sometime ago. Both projects were going to be entered into a IPMS contest, so both were packed and stacked into a car pooling vehicle and left town.

The results…

First place in 1/35th soft skin post Korean.

First place in Scratchbuilt/Major Conversion all scales.

Best Armor for the M1117 HUMVEE HA.
