VonBlade 0 Posted January 12, 2007 I've said it in the showroom comments, but no matter how much praise is lavished upon this, it wont be enough. So, that being said. Briljant. Fantastisch. Mooi! VB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Z 0 Posted January 13, 2007 I have watched this thread almost from day one, but didn't want to comment until the end, anticipating how stunned I would be! Well, you didn't disappoint, but there really isn't anything I can say that hasn't already been said. The result is incredible, absolutely incredible. It's in my favorites already! You have a WHOLE LOT to be proud of[Y] [*] [Y] [*] []!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man you are not just the best scale builder i know , you are also the best scale build teacher ! so THANKS, THANKS, THANKS! i have a question for you , i am starting my first paint job , i understand the priming, letiing it dry for long, and sanding but... whats that degreasing you allways do after a coat ? another one , and sorry if you already explained in a post (i read them all but maybe too much info for one day) did you clear coated it? if so , the washings and drybrushings were before the clear coat? or after ... best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeT 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Dee - that plain ugly fella, you did all this nice work leading upto it, and then let it down at the last moment, you should throw it in the bin, my bin [o/j] [] It does look amazing Dee, all that i can suggest is use black shocks/springs as they are a bit bright?

Black Hole Sun 0 Posted January 13, 2007 wow ! So much work, some much details for a fantastic result : splendid work M. Miller [Y] PS : easter eggs : you are the co-pilot ? other try : "don't follow us : we're lost" ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeeMiller 1 Posted January 13, 2007 PS : easter eggs : you are the co-pilot ? Close...but not the actual easter egg...[] 1."whats that degreasing you allways do after a coat ?"2."did you clear coated it? if so , the washings and drybrushings were before the clear coat? or after ... 1. I do this to remove any grease (from your hands), just in case... If you don't do that, the paint doesn't stick to the body and makes small "circles" in the paint. 2. No, I didn't use a clear coat but if you do, the weathering should be done after the clear coat. Thx again for all your compliments, I understand this is something special and my pleasure too![] Dee.

bender 0 Posted January 14, 2007 Dee, Like others here, I have waited eagerly for each new post, only to be continuously amazed by your skills. I thought I'd simply wait until the final pics before l tell you what a fantastic job you've done - however there seems to be a problem... Between the numerous comments already expressed by other members, and by my own limited vocabulary, I find myself annoyed by the fact that I simply can't find the words to express how incredible your skills are [Y] I can only offer my sincere congratulations on what I can only describe as a masterpiece! You sir, are a legend [] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

backtomyroots 432 Posted January 15, 2007 WOW ! Now that is some project - one of the most detailed r/c models I've ever seen [Y].

gazwilts 0 Posted January 20, 2007 dee, i feel a project coming on! and you HAVE to be the best person to ask regarding hummer questions! so if you would be so kind, whats the wheelbase of the TA01 hummer kit? kind regards Gaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toykid 596 Posted January 21, 2007 Well Dee, I have to say that there have been some very, very cool "models" posted on TamiyClub over the years and right now this has got to be the best detailed / painted model on the club. I think Tamiya are going to see a sudden spike in sales of any Hummers still left on the shelf. Very inspiring stuff. Now where did I put that paint brush? [] I don't know if anyone already posted info on this but Tamiya now make an awesome light control system, RC LED Light Control Unit - TLU-02, that drives the TLU-01 light unit. It will allow you to control the signal lights, brake lights, reverse lights, high low beam and spots. I just picked up one from HK and it works great. Again, great work. The updates we informative and very entertaining. James (toykid). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

itsformyboy 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Fantastic, attention to detail is superb. I've never mastered the art of weathering/washing. Are you able to share with us the methods and materials used to achieve that excellent used look on your finished hummer? Or have you just run up some miles on it and it's all real wear and tear 8-) Thx Martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
