Yep..Bring it..This area gets little to no exposure in this scale. I would love to see some WWII or Nam vehicles bearing the red cross, but a humvee works also. It's a shame that only BBI released a medic figure, and that was in WWII era. We need more figures, equipment, vehicles, and aircraft, etc... to save our fallen troops!!

You could just make the plastic shell with doors and that could go over the rear part of the vehicle. The two PTE Hummers that are styled with the open cargo beds would be suited perfectly to this sort of modification.

Would they work with the 21st Humvee ?

I could make it so it slips over the top. Unless you guys want the bunks/causualty racks to go inside.

I'd like to have the bunks/casualty racks to go inside. I think the use of the PTE Hummer that has the open cargo bed, as Tmanthegreat suggested, would make this easiest for you.

You would have to disect one from 21st or bbi.

Here are a few pictures that might help (they appear to be two different designs):

That would indeed be ideal for the PTE Humvee's with the cargo bed. There's two types I think, open and one with a big canvas back.

Well I do not have the PTE and not sure if I can get one.

One of the guys said he will hook me up with one when ( if ) they get back into Big Lots.

In the meentime I ordered a couple of 21st Humvees . You can't beat $10 so that could be my proto platform.

I think that I may do this one in conjuction with those crazy wading trunks .

I could paint them but I would have to charge more money.

But that will change soon.

Everything that I have made will be offerd for sale PAINTED .

I have never sold anything on E-bay but I am getting close to offering EVERYTHING on there.

This will be a good thing for me because as things are going this is my only income

That aint so good.

After I get done with my 222 that is what is going to happen.

With the small stuff anyway.

You'd make a killing on ebay!! There are plenty of folks out nthere that have no idea that this site exists.

Go for it PH, you're not dealing with copyrights, so just jump in if it's getting you income. I wouldn't hesitate. Why let the molds dry out?

That would be a great item if painted.

Put your items on ebay and you will get those bids that we all make fun of. Thats where the bucks are. There are still plenty of people out there with good jobs, making big salaries, and willing to spend it.

OK I need to know if I should proceed with this.

I need a show of hands to see how many want this.

I you are looking at about $ 40-$50 each for the add on only.

If I were to paint them I would say add about $20 extra at least each . That is a guess.

Is there still interest ?

You can PM me if you wish.

I would say I need about 10 sales for this to proceed.

pickelhaube · Post by **pickelhaube** » Thu Nov 05, 2009 9:48 am

OK ,

Only 3 guys have said that they want this mod.

2 of those guys are not on this forum

Is this project destined for the idea grave yard ?

CW4USARMY · Post by **CW4USARMY** » Thu Nov 05, 2009 3:03 pm

I will commit to a painted one! (plus info on how to mod once I get it
