Default great scale details

Those ratchet straps holding down the spare tire look awesome.
What thickness of aluminum plate did you use and did it allow for some flexing ??
i am also building a Tamiya Hummer crawler, i am installing portal axles from rc4wd to give it more ground clearance and lower gearing.
keep up the good work.

Very nice Hummer build! I really like the difference from stock. Glad you went all out on the detail - makes it a very realistic truck.

Don't mean to thread jack, awsome Hummer build btw...almost inspires me enough to do something with the one I shoved in a corner

Which portal axles did you use for that? Any pics?

Hi,

thank you for your comments. First, the aluminium ist about 2mm.
Second, a better pic about the tire :



I fixed the piece with a little screw....simple !

and the last , some pics about new details : the decals, the original sticker of the hummer-raid-team an the place for the sand-shovels...







ciao
Andi

Hi,

sorry that I've shown you no further vids or pictures so far. The reason is, that i've sold the green hummer to Eble in january.
Since that time, I've built a new similar Hummer, so the hummer-built goes on.....

thats the "new" one :

I know I'm digging up an old thread (searching Hummer builds) and noticed you sold it to the owner of the 1:1! I think thats really cool.
