dodgy plastic Hummers

Following the dodgy plastic Pattons comes this pair of dodgy plastic Hummers.  Of unknown origin, these came in a box of crap a couple of years ago.
Being made of fairly hard plastic they seem to have taken paint rather well - once again I went for US Olive Drab over a black undercoat.  Painting in the lights makes a huge difference and really brings the thing to 'life'.
The nasty toy wheels were removed for painting and then simply clipped back into position.
After all, I don't want them looking too good....

More cheap plastic crap coming soon!

    I thought the minigun looked a bit odd but I hadn't noticed the hatch was in the wrong place. Given that they only owe me about £0.50 each I think I can live with it....

    Notwithstanding Don's comments about accuracy - and he should know - I think they're rather nice models. As plastic crap goes...

    They will indeed live again! Hopefully they'll get an outing in a couple of months.
