Jurva Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) This is a project that has been looming in my mind. Finally started this. I wanted to learn new weathering trick. So far I have used MIG's rust color, chipping fluid and resedagrun. Edited January 5, 2015 by Jurva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurva Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) I added rust pigments and washes to body, and then added mud. Now I am thinking what kind of controls this vehicle should have. Edited December 21, 2014 by Jurva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Nice ! Twin stick controls ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurva Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Twin sticks might be the way to go. What else is needed besides those? Two/three pedals and gear shifter? Here is something that I was wondering for the bed. Seats for two friends and a machine gun. I also added twin batteries. Have to build tool box too.

Jurva Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Here is some stuff to go into the vehicle. I used Replicas and Miniatures resin guns and tools, Italeri Toyota Land Cruiser gave the 50 cal machine gun and some old gas cans and batteries.

spotarama Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 i'm doing a similar one myself, using the hull, wheels and tracks from a chinese rocket launcher, cab, engine and 5th wheel from some bigrig (looking at the pics it seems to be a Diamond Reo), detailed the drivers seat, full communications gear in the cab, plumbed the engine, hydraulic winch on the front etc it will either be painted in 'international emergency' orange or army green it's still a LONG way off finished but one day......

Jurva Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks for sharing your pictures. I think we have same engines. I'm curious about your setup for controlling the vehicle. Would it be easier to steer the vehicle when the twin sticks were in front of the driver seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurva Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Here is scratchbuild controls for the Dodge. Also tried weathering the interior. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be easier to steer the vehicle when the twin sticks were in front of the driver seat?they're from out of the orig truck kit, going to call them the parking brakes.i'm sort of planning to use a sort of joystick/control column coming out of the dash, sort of like a light plane controlits changed a fair bit since the project started, it was orig going to be a tracked towtruck with the cab from a pickup and ski steering at the front with a small block chev under a normal hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurva Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) I declare this one finished. It has been fun project. It gave me opporturnity to try new weathering tricks. I didn't use the machine gun. I think this will be some sort of hunting mobile. Rain flap was built from beer can and some jewelry parts. Also the chain in the front is jewelry chain, which is blackened with burnishing fluid. Edited January 5, 2015 by Jurva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
