Helo_Dud Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) Here’s is little project I’ve been doing the last week. It’s an IDF up-armored Hummer. The base kit is from Academy and the rest is scratchbuilt using Evergreen Plastic sheets. The turret ring is from MIG Production late type cupola. All that is left to do is build up the frame, interior and paint. More can be seen here Joe Edited August 16, 2008 by Helo_Dud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Youngtiger1 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Joe, awesome work dude. I also looked at all your photos in the link.......man, those are some cool subjects. Of course, your skills are way out. What reference are you using for your OIF gun trucks? Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helo_Dud Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the great comments Yeah I pretty much love to scratchbuild. Well I did get some paint on the other day.... What reference are you using for your OIF gun trucks? Mike I have a few Gun Truck books that I use or I search the net under "Gun Trucks" "Vietnam Gun Trucks" "OIF Gun Trucks" and so on. If theres anything I could help you with feel free to ask. Happy Modeling, Joe Edited August 26, 2008 by Helo_Dud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

petebuilt Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Impressive work you're doing there Joe. I checked out your other projects on your Webshots site. Great stuff. You're quite the scratch builder. You should go into the aftermarket biz! All top shelf work! Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) That is looking great! Their Hummers sure do look different than the ones I use to drive. Keep it up. Edited September 3, 2008 by Raptor Supporter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Joe, I have checked the net for reference and it is very helpful but it is nice to have reference in ones hand when building kits. So, if possible could you tell me the information on those books of yours. TIA. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helo_Dud Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Mike, Some of the books I have, Squadron/Signal Gun trucks…The Hard Ride (1&2) by James Lyles, these books are hard to find and are OPP….Tankograd Publishing has some great reference books on OIF gun trucks and armor….and there’s Concord Publishing, they too have many OIF armor books. Tankograd Concord The Hard Ride Hope this helps, Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
