Always wondered what those little things were on a 1:18 model Hummer I had when I was much younger. I think the model is long gone now

[Ad Lav]

My rucksacks/bags arrived courtesy of Mr.Crispy - thanks again Nic!

Deciding where to place these and the spare wheel is a nightmare!

Help needed - see the photos below and let me know what you think looks best. I have planned to use a camo net to strap down the load as it were.

Looking good Adam. I'm planning to load mine up on the sides at the rear a-la the Generation Kill Humvees.

[Ad Lav]

Thanks for the pic, I've got G-kill but no time to watch it!

[Ad Lav]

Got the Mcfarlane figure from the .50 cal set going spare if anyone wants him? I'm not going to use it as I don't want to open the hatch but he could be used for driving?

[emory70]

I'd definitely center the tire on the hatch

[Ad Lav]

New idea for the hummer spurred on from watching Generation Kill and reading some books.

Aerial recognition panel on top rear and soRe wheel being mounted on the back.

Bags to be hung off the sides.

[emory70]

That works too

Ordered my Tamiya TBLE-02s esc today

Radio turning up next week too so should have this beauty running.

Awaiting the spare wheel bracket and then I'll fit the wheel and stowage

[Ad Lav]

Spare wheel bracket turned up this afternoon so cracked on with fitting!

Cyano'd the bracket to the body, needs painting.

3mm x 50mm bolt and nut through the wheel and a 3mm hole in the centre of the tailgate and it's fixed! No load bearing on the bracket so all good

[Ad Lav]

Bracket painted, wheel fitted.

Cut the aerial recognition panel to size and tied down in each corner. Camo net added but need to get some webbing straps sorted next.

[Ad Lav]

Painted my bags/stowage tonight [emoji1]

Not 100% accurate but it'll pass?!

[ChrisRx718]

Look awesome from here!

[mr crispy]

Looking good. Although in the last picture I can't help thinking, erm how do I put this... it might be an idea to paint your nuts 😳

[Ad Lav]

Lol

I have been debating nut covers!

Wow, what a nice job !!

As I said at Mr. Crispy's post, you and him are responsible for my desire of building one of this Hummers.

Thanks Appleby20

Would you like one? I have a spare one lol

[appleby20]

Body is not an issue, chassis would be a bit more difficult. Either I would use TA02 Porsche Cayene as donor or self made chassis with parts from here and there.

[Ad Lav]

I could be tempted to part with this NIB [emoji12]

[appleby20]

This topic is getting dangerous. 😯😯

[Ad Lav]

Slippery slope this one!

[Ad Lav]

Esc turned up! Just awaiting my new 2ch radio and I'm good to get moving!

[Ad Lav]

Ready for a test drive tonight
