Piotr, this mass of work is more than a collection. Every one in of itself is a study in excellence, a masterwork of detail, building, nuance, painting, accessorizing, weathering, and figures. All perfect, in every one. Each model amazes and strikes awe in the observer. Taken together they are a tour de force, a grand opus of work of which you should be immensely proud.

Once I had a dream… A big collection of Humvees and SOF wheeled vehicles. Than I met makinen on Polish Humvee forum and it’s been a pleasure to watch him getting a more and more excellent modeller. Today - I gave up that dream and generally modelling a long time ago, and my collection… is a little bit smaller now :wink: But I’ve got this wonderful makinen’s one to admire in the web, so I’m almost as happy as if it were my own - I love this guy and I don’t envy him at all :grinning: Keep on modelling, Piotr :+1:

Good to hear from you Kuba. Sorry to hear you gave up modeling, but I still remember you started this Humvee trend with your amazing models.

Perhaps one day you’ll consider coming out of your “Humvee retirement”… :blush:

Now my heart breaks. The truth is that my love for the Humvee was started by Kuba. It has always been my mentor, role model, teacher and support. It is extremely gratifying to hear such words. Thank you

very cool your Hummvee collection reminds me of my Leopard 2 builds which stands at 22 and no two are the same

That is so sweet! I have a similar model planned.

Right now I’m slowly working on an M1151. One of five Humvee variants I have.

My last build was this one. A US Army Military Police M1151 with the Rhino anti-IED pad.
