Awesome model ! You should update the OP too.
ah ok. so are u gonna work on a troop carrier variant of the hmmwv? if you do can there be one to carry troops(hold max troops), and one with supplies in the back (and only hold 2 ppl), like wat i mean is make it actually have supplies in it like ammo boxes and crates guns etc.[R-CON]Cheeseman wrote:No doubt in that, but what I mean by "realistic" is not to imply that the USI model isn’t realistic in the specific category or type of Humvee model it’s suppose to represent. By realistic I mean being provided an option to manipulate an already existing model which is not an Up-armored variant could cause series of difficulties and constraints which would most likely lead to an unrealistic model as an outcome. Also I like to make my own models from scratch.![]()
Sure post them up, since I'm having a hard time keeping up with the constantly chaning HMMWV.[R-DEV]Eddie Baker wrote:Looking good, Cheeseman! The newest Gunner Protection Kit turrets are sloped inward, though. I can provide you with more references, if you like. I still haven't been able to find one with an inside view, unfortunately.

We just can't wait to see the model ingame[R-CON]Cheeseman wrote:ComeOn hasn't been a week since the last update.
I'll post something up some time this week just because I'm nice.![]()
Nope, that's not the one. From my research, it looks like the Army and Marines are going with two different turret types, and Armor Holdings (the contractor that produces the UAH), is offering yet another type. Oy, everybody's gotta be different.'[R-CON wrote:Cheeseman;581405']Sure post them up, since I'm having a hard time keeping up with the constantly chaning HMMWV.
PS. If this is the one your talking about then great I'll save a lot of Tris/Poly's on the model.![]()
Seeing as the GPK was first developed by engineers serving abroad, I would expect lots of little changes[R-CON]Cheeseman wrote:Ow No, how many shields do I need to model before I'm up to date? Why can't they just keep with one type of shield and let me be?![]()
The photo you have there is of the Armor Holdings Improved GPK. Since it will be "stock" or "OEM" for the newest HMMWVs, go ahead and model it. I'll see if I can find more references.[R-CON]Cheeseman wrote:Ow No, how many shields do I need to model before I'm up to date? Why can't they just keep with one type of shield and let me be?![]()


I meant to show the M240 Mounted MG not the hummer. I figured I'd throw it in there to add more flavor other than a TOW or 50 cal.[R-CON]Cheeseman wrote:.Intense those images of HMMWV’s are the old versions of the M1114, in fact the first image is the oldest one of them all. The HMMWV was designed for personnel and light cargo transport and wasn’t originally planed or equipped to serve in such hostile environments seen in Iraq and Afghanistan. For this reason throughout the years it has gone through various changes and improvements to better suit the missions it wasn’t originally set to engage in. The most resent versions of the HMMWV's are better armored and include smoke grenades much like tanks and FAV/APC’s.
