LOL! Rob, that means you have to keep adding vehicles to the caravan. These are the kinds of builds that will make you lose your mind, and you might just be on your way there!

I had a mind to begin with? :lol:

I'm also going mad trying to find a chassis to fit my most recently started submission.

The first two were just quick throw-togethers.

This third one though... is the serious one :P

Great to have you aboard, Darren!

Derrick, I keep salivatin' over those Zombie figures . . . man, they are just so right!

Are you going to try to convert one into a Zombie driver figure? I hope so, that would be so cool.

By the way, if you need figures, I have a couple of those Tamiya campus friends I can send your way to modify.

So, I decided to scrap the military gasser for the moment. Lack of tires, proper engine, and whatnot.

The windshield on the Die-ora got knocked loose by my clamp stand some time during the day... I think the cat may have knocked it over.

SOOOoooo..... I may be doing the Die-ora windshield differently, seeing as how the model's 'stock' glass doesn't quite fit the build anyhow.

The as-of-yet-unnamed submission is coming along nicely however- just have to find some Hotchkiss suspension pieces in my scraps, or scratchbuild them. I still have the problem of having small passenger tires, whereas I need LT tires (and a halftrack, but those are a pain in the neck to scratchbuild.).

The engine isn't an issue luckily.

I'm thinking futuristic on the guts, perhaps some sort of turbine.

...I am still missing that USB cable.

My, build is progressing fast, but I'm gonna wait till the official start date of the 15 to post any pics in the mean time here is some crazy inspiration.

this is a 60someting Cementer mortar fired by a huge tank. i Haven't had time to finnsh paint yet but its in primer at the moment.

Oh YES, the eye candy keeps rolling in! Keep it coming, this already has the makings of the most heavily armed CARAVAN!

Derrick, PM me your address and I will get you some stuff pronto! The last thing I want (and I am sure you feel the same way) is to have delays in this Zombie-building process.

Cheers, DC
