The other - well you may recell me buying it at the Birmingham Toy Soldier Show last year . It was rather cheaper at a defence-budget friendly £0.10... It was treated to the same olive over black paintwork as the other Hummers.

Hummers good and bad?

All hummers are good Tim. These are good too.
;)
The plastic one looks better indeed!

I'm sick of tan as EVERYTHING here on Fort Hood is painted that way,
so I like the green one better....)
The green Humvee looks like it "means business": the tan Humvee could be ferrying holiday guests at a hotel! It would benefit from some "aggressive" gear.
But you can't argue the prices.
The green one has the mean looking armoured windows so gets my vote.
Cheers,
Pete.
A phenomenon in 'frugal modelling' is the extra pride one feels when one takes something that's a 'bit crap' and then you turn it into a finished model that looks half-way decent. I find this really enjoyable.
Not everyone can do this - it's easy to spend the money and buy a Dragon or Trumpeter kit with all the bells and whistles already in there for you. But to take a sow's ear and turn it into something approaching a cheap silk purse, that takes some doing!
I too prefer the plastic Humvee, because you've taken something that's 'disposable' and made it fit for purpose. Well done, Mr. G - you are flying the flag for frugal modellers everywhere! :)
You don't really need to ask my opinion do you Tim? Invest your savings on beer without delay this very Friday!
Regards, Chris.

Thanks.
Peter
I have to agree!

I'll try to bear that in mind when I'm painting further US kit!

Cheap is always good!
Pete
I can't fault your logic.
Stephen Beat
Cheap and cheerful wins the day again!
Chris Kemp
Your response surprises me not!
Following reading lions of Kandahar I have got a thing for the laden Special Forces HUMVees
