Can't wait to see the finished humvee, awesome job.

[Rylau]

We are really looking forward to the finished mods and the prices. Fantastic.

[pickelhaube]

Does anybody have the right side passenger ( rear ) door that they could lend me ?

They pop right out without damage. Mine is missing and I need one to make the BBI door kit.

[granch]

Which brand? I have the BBI.

[pickelhaube]

Which brand? I have the BBI.

That is what a need a BBI rear passenger side door.

Hopefully I will be having a long weekend after Thanksgiving and I will be finishing up this project.

Not a lot of feedback on the antennas so I will be making the thick one only and I am partially done with the smoke grenade launchers.

Things left to do.
Finish everything I have started
Smoke dischargers
Antenna
Rear bumper
Spare tire hanger
Tow bar ( I will actually be using my Abrams tow bar ) so this part is done.

After I get all the parts done I will price them . I need to get feedback on the part kits because I need at least 10 sells on each kit for it to come to life.

Otherwise I will just have the prototype made.

When I get done with the parts and they are on their way to getting molded I am going to have a presale offer .

The offer will be held here and the fighting 1/18th forum.

[pickelhaube]

OK guys. I need another show of hands.

Speak up if you want the rear tire set up and or bumper.

I am getting close to my allotted time ( this long weekend ) if I do not get 10 requests I need to spend time on other things.

I want to have the prototypes done by this long weekend because I need to move on to other things.

Who is going to give me my 10 ?

[rschaap]

[Jnewboy]

Looks really great! Is anyone going to do an ISIS version??

Maybe use some Arabs from Indiana Jones?

[pickelhaube]

Here we go maybe a full days worth of tweaking then it is time for the mold making.

I made the tire bracket mount on the rear bumper as per the original.

You will have to make your own vehicle mount if you choose not to get the rear bumper.







Here are the A/C vents and the smoke grenade launcher. the platforms may be a bit tall I need to recheck my measurements.

[Rylau]

That really looks great Matt. Nice job. Bob

[rohirrimknight]

I can see how my 21st M1025 will transform to the new look.

[pickelhaube]

OK guys orders are coming in slowly .

I will announce the raffle winner for the full kit ( minus price of the turret ) on Christmas EVE !!

I am almost ready to start the molding process on the turret.

[TOOL]

That really is an amazing transformation.

The grill and whip antennas are done.





The whip mounts in the round well on the left ( this is on most HUMVEES ) and my fat fatty mounts on the left rear.



I also lowred the rear grenade launcher platforms about 3/16 on an inch . Not worthy of a pic on that.
