otherunicorn Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Ken's build is creeping me out! I may have nightmares as a result. It would seem I am being successful then. It is also creeping me out! Watch out for that zombie! And next comes rust and more gore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otherunicorn Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 well i dont know if i can enter but all of your builds have given me inspiration to try this so heres the start Looking at a video that Dr Cranky posted a day or two ago, it seems there are two levels of "entry" into this. 1) build a car and send it to Dr Cranky for the group photos. Maximum, 1 car per builder, vehicle can either be donated or you can pay return postage to get it back. 2) build a car and share the photos, but keep the car at home. As such, you have already entered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimbogum Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Here's the beginnings of Stealthy Spike! I'm going for a rusty three tone camo. Engine will be a scratch built futuristic power plant i.e. doesn't run on gas (model doesn't come with an engine anyway ... forced fun). Features spiky crushing arms (pirated from orange toy digger) I don't know if those low profile tires will work on the Highway to Hell given the poor condition of the road :-). Anyone got tips on where I can get a set of wheel with knobby tires on line? Edited February 8, 2012 by kimbogum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently I failed to make this clear. The photo below is of my 1:25 car wearing Hotwheels 1:64 monster truck wheels.

wgflatliner Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I did paint Peeping Tom yellow over the black primer today. Once it dries I will be putting on the catty decals. Then I will start the rusting process and the final stage of body work which is dull coat. Pics coming a little later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patami Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Eye Candy update Have to shield of the part of the cockpit that wont be in use. Or yes the gas tank will be there. Same from the front wiew. There will be a wall between the gas tank and the cockpit. The cock pit will be covered whit netting. Started on the pick up bed.

kimbogum Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Which ones? I found 1/64th size. Thanks, Tim I'm thinking the giant wheels when down to 1/64th on a 1/25 normal car would be about right. @otherunicorn was that what you're suggesting?

wgflatliner Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The yellow wasn't working so I did a bare metal silver. Right now I have coated a majority of it with the iron metallic stuff from the two part rusting system. After it dries I will apply the rusting solution and wrap it up for 24 hours. This will be my first time messing with the stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherunicorn Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Which ones? I found 1/64th size. Thanks, Tim That is them. The wheels on those things are huge! I'm thinking the giant wheels when down to 1/64th on a 1/25 normal car would be about right. @otherunicorn was that what you're suggesting? Exactly. You can see them on my photo of my 1/25 car.

otherunicorn Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 All right, the paint is on: Actually, I like the amount of chipping you are showing here. It looks rather like the real rust I had forming on my real-life tow-bar brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
