9SFG(A) - Weapons Carrier HMMWV

[NSA]

Here is my M998 "Weapons Carrier" HMMWV.

It is based on the 21st Century Toys M998 "Hard Top" HMMWV.

Here is what it started off looking like:

I did the following modifications:

* Added 'hillbilly' armor to the doors for added ballistic protection.
* Added Antenna mount * Wire Antenna + tie down.
* Added weapons crates + tie downs in back.
* Overall wash/drybrush for a dirtier look.

This is what I ended up with!

This one was a pretty simple mod job I did off a picture I saw online, nothing too fancy, but I thought it turned out alright. I figured my transport guys could use a little extra armor (This is theoretically existing in 2002, before the uparmor HMMWVs were in wide use).

Based on this:

More pictures below. Thanks for reading, comments + critiques welcomed.. it's how I get better!!

WOW! I can't wait to see a dio with these. You know you can make a damn one off in the same space you photograph these. Go swing a sledge hammer at a cinderblock and a toss some sand on a cookie sheet in front of a monitor shot of the middle east and shoot a dio would you already
