| The wheels don't look too bad. I really like the doors. Does anyone else like Humvees better? I think that the full-cab look is just better looking. At the moment I'm working on a '78 Firebird in the same scale. lets hope I can pull it of 8) <<KM>> (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

I know that the Hummer comes in four commercial models (and that's about all I know about them): 2-door hardtop 4-door hardtop (My model) 4-door softop wagon What's the difference between a Humvee and a (...)

| (...) I have to agree; you and Jay both rock at Minifig vehicles. I had started to build a hummer ages ago, but gave up (the windows I used forced it to be 8 wide, and I just couldn't quite make it look right. But yours and Jay's make me wish I'd (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

| I thought they were called humvees. They're a 4 door, but they don't have a box. Just about a 70 degree slope down to the back. It's the kind you always see on TV, in music videos, etc. I'm afraid the firebrid had to get scrapped. I tried for an (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)
