rhs856 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Here's a mock up of the supply truck for an update. I got a lot of painting and weathering done (didn't get to the shiny things in the photo, yet!), and I'm still in the process of building the generator and wiring everything. The grip in the center of the dash is for controlling the minigun, as the opening next to the driver will be covered with mesh fence or something similar. Having tons of fun! It's hard to believe how much work it takes to make something look rusty and dirty. It sure is more forgiving than trying to make something shiny and clean, however! Thanks for looking.

Dr. Cranky Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks for the kind words, my friend. Her surgery is now in the mid October so I will keep everyone posted. In the mean time, great work. I am copying a lot of these new builds for the next TZH Caravan video update. Stay tuned in and keep having fun.

ARTEMIS1759 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 ATTENTION PLEASE: Note that the due date for the models to be completed has been pushed up to January. This will give everyone time to finish one, two, or start a third project. I am also postponing the photo op with the mail in models because Momma Cranky (who is 76) is having surgery next month and I have to be there for her. The builds will continue though, so Gen. EYEGORE says "As you were!" Good deal maybe I can get it done on time. Been so busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdad Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 My Post Apocalyptic Scopedog Diorama is finished I decided to paint the battle Germlin a little different and added the tree. I ended up not putting the tree in the robot's hand I hope you all like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhs856 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Update on the Supply Trading Vehicle - I'm nearing the final stretch! The truck itself is nearly complete, all that's left is to make/paint the remaining "supplies". I just finished the generator, which I based on a Briggs and Stratton. It was made with sheet and rod styrene, some aluminum tubing, and a little wire for the pull cord. Here it is before the paint... And after. This is where the truck is at this point. I just need to add on some trim pieces and it should be done. No glass in this one - the Trader loves the hot apocalyptic breeze blowing through his hair!
