Rocketman did an up-armoured Hummer - he put armoured doors and sills etc on.
I'm not skilled enough to do that, more subtle tweaks!

Spare wheel bracket turned up this afternoon so cracked on with fitting!
Cyano'd the bracket to the body, needs painting.
3mm x 50mm bolt and nut through the wheel and a 3mm hole in the centre of the tailgate and it's fixed! No load bearing on the bracket so all good

Bracket painted, wheel fitted.
Cut the aerial recognition panel to size and tied down in each corner. Camo net added but need to get some webbing straps sorted next.

Not too badly - was just a scoot round the lounge to test all the bits worked...

Having said that I just popped out the front and gave it a good blast!
Pulls to the left and the camber (I think) is out as the top of the front wheels lean in too much.
Steering servo must need adjusting, don't want to have to do it via the 2ch transmitter.
Goes like the clappers too lol

Thanks Kaiser
She's not done yet - got the bags to attach and a few other things. Plus a photo shoot on a beach!
