Overview of the process of assembling, painting, and weathering a 1/35 M1025 HMMWV "Humvee". This is not a step-by-step instructional video and also does not contain every step involved in achieving the final result. Rather, I've stepped through an overview of the entire process, highlighting some of the interesting points.
DISCLAIMER: This vehicle is not built to represent a specific unit or reference photo. Rather, it is a generic representation of a Humvee as might be seen approximately during the Gulf War (1991) but should not be considered a definitive representation.
