Here is my M998 "Gun Truck" HMMWV.
It is based on the 21st Century Toys M998 "Soft Top" HMMWV. Here is what it started off looking like: I did the following modifications: * Cut off most of the soft-top, painted the rest to match the vehicle. * Cut out most of the supports in the back to make a flatbed. * Used the supports to create bracing for side armor. * Used cardstock to create side armor, weathered it a bit. Added holes/rivets. * Added deep water fording exhaust and snorkel (snorkel from M1025). * Added M240B and M240B mount on top of cabin. * Added lots of stowage, extra tire, etc. * Overall wash/drybrush for a dirtier look. This is what I ended up with! I did a LOT of work on this one, and it was a little scary cutting into the plastic for the first time! I saw a picture online, and wanted to try and make something similar. I think it turned out alright, not perfect, but I don't have anything to craft new items with so I had to make due with what I had around my desk Based on this: and this: More pictures below. Thanks for reading, comments + critiques welcomed.. it's how I get better!!
