Marine Hummer HX based on the 1/18 Maisto Concept
Posted: Mon Apr 18, 2011 9:15 am
First off, this is my first "military" diecast mod, so I have much to learn. Although, I have been modding plastic and 1/18 regular diecast for a while.
Somehow I ended up with two of these, so I decided to repaint one. My original thought was to make one like the one in Transformers 2, but when I research it, it had too many parts that would had to be custom made. So, I decided to make a Marine "dream ride". But once I had it painted, it looked too "clean", so I weathered some. It is not complete as I need to build mounts for the guns and affix/glue it all together. This will eventually be a diorama.
Tips, ideas, suggestions, criticism welcomed!
