Hummer H1 Body Complete

I have finished working on the body of the Hummer H1 model. There are a few spots to touch up with paint but aside from that it is complete.

On the front of the vehicle I have added the logos, windscreen wipers and lights above the windscreen.

One of the most noticeable additions is that I have added the tinted window panels.

These really enhance the look of the model. Some of these panels will need to be removed however when running the car in order to provide adequate cooling for the engine.

On the rear of the vehicle I have added the indicators, small rear lights, number plate and plug socket.

The aerial, side indicators and Hummer logo have also been attached at this stage.

Adding the lights really enhanced the look of the model and I am very pleased with how they come out using clear red/orange paint.

Now all that is left for this model is the engine, exhaust and radio equipment.

Hummer H1 Build Progress

The body is almost complete on my Hummer H1.

As the body will be complete in with the next delivery of parts I will keep this short and take some decent photos with of the finished model.

In this session I have added some of the small details to the body such as the fuel caps and tow hooks.

I have also painted the light buckets / lenses and added these to the body. There are also side lights and small lights to add to the front and back of the vehicle that are painted but have not yet been added.

Hummer H1 Build Progress

First up in this section is the gearbox.

The brake disc and pads are added to the gearbox.

The pin at the top will be attached to the throttle servo later which will apply the brakes when the throttle is released.

The gearbox is added to the chassis connecting to the the front and rear drives.

I have also added the fuel tank which is simply held in with two screws.

These are not fully screwed in to make sure the fuel tank can rock slightly.

The electronics box is now added. This houses the battery box, steering servo and throttle servo.

The steering servo is connected to the steering rod.

Here you can see how the throttle servo also connects to the brake pin allowing it to both control the flow of fuel into the engine carb (when fitted) and the brakes.
