Revell Hummer H1 *progress*

[slk320]

I am still debating on the roof color.. might be black or light gray... I will have to dry brush the canvas pattarn to highlite the folds in the fabric... that might be kinda hard... we will see

Nah do the roof tan, and I reckon you need bigger tires and lifted suspension
Did you just spray the Tamiya clear on likea normal can of paint and it came out that smooth? I've heard taht Testors high gloss is excellent for clear coating.

Wicked.

I think you should do the roof black.

I spray Tamiya clear with good results. I have tried Testors gloss and it works equally good I think, but the faster drying tyime of Tamiya makes me use their gloss more often.

Both are real nice. I would like to try PPG clear flow paint but I have not yet been able to source a spray can of it... May be I will try some automotive stores later.

So far, so good!! I like the color; it suits the Hummer well...

more progress time, I guess there are a few people still following along. Finished the front brush guard. Added two PIAA spot lights, a scratbuild winch, a scratch built tow hook and straps.

began working on emblems and lights as well.. keep in mind this kit is very very simple, all the lights are molded in... also grilled had been opened up and metal mesh inserted:





rear hatch with scratch built gas can and gas can holding straps.. trying to make it off roader



close up of the grill:


check this out.. wipe grime



so what do you think?

[tsuchiya]

very cool!
more pix plz!

gah that's simply amazing, best snaptite kit i've ever seen

[jgmodelcars]

you've made a crummy snap tite quite the work of art! the whole front looks incredible!

[tpliquid]

wtf!!! itz a snap tite??? damn it look super nice!!

[Purpura Delujo]

Tight! I wonder why its called a 'brush guard' though. Not like you would deal less damage by brushing soemthing with taht thing on the front
Decided roof colour yet? What is your interior like at the moment?
Awesome details with the windscreen grime, but I still vote for bigger tires and a lift kit

[slk320]

do you know where I can get bigger tires and wheels? I can do the lift no problem.. but I can't sourse bigger wheels and tires in scale...
