ZombieHunter26 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Ok, progress on the Waste Buggy. It's in primer, waiting for it's paint job... but that doesn't stop it from looking awesome so far- Just a quick overview, this build has no "make, model, year" to base it on. The engine is completely parts boxed, and all the pieces are scratch built or parts boxed as well. It has a .30 cal minigun attached to it, belt fed from the rear end of the vehicle (which is also where the gas tank is housed). This was scratched from styrene rod and parts box fodder... the roof flips back (I will be putting in a hydraulic rod in the rear of the cab for open-cab shots) to allow access to the inside. I will also be putting rubber tires on after the paint job is finished. Without further adieu, here is the Waste Buggy in primer- Coming up later this evening or tomorrow- my van build.... 'til next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan S. Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Here's some progress made by Donn Yost: I gotta say, I really like the idea and use of the razor blades up front on this one. Makes a lot of sense to just slice and dice your way through a zombie horde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZombieHunter26 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) As you guys may have noticed, this is where I start getting serious about the builds- using better parts, planning out stuff, ad making an effort all around to make better quality builds (not that I wasn't trying in the first place, but my skill has gotten TONS better over the past 6 months I've been on here...) that i plan on taking to some shows That being said, here's what I've got so far on the build I'm doing with the Vantasy kit- ...I wonder what goes in here? More on the builds as I make progress! Edited May 17, 2012 by ZombieHunter26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZombieHunter26 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 We've got some more van progress- WARLORD 14T is nearing the completion stage, and I figured I'd get you some visuals of the interior before it's sealed away inside forever... The weapons in question are the Thompson M1, MK14 Carbine, and the Mossberg 500 shotgun. The weapons system on the rear is a hellfire missile launching apparatus. Think AGM, but launched from the back of the van. More after the break... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZombieHunter26 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 FTS is an acronym for a phrase denoting how displeased the driver is with The System... if anyone was wondering about that little graphic on the side panel. "RAIN DEATH FROM ABOVE" is inscribed on the opposing side panel, and "WARLORD 14T" adorns the hood. 14T is a reference to the Army MOS 14 Tango, which dealt with a patriot missile-related job. Although this vehicle launches HELLFIRE and not PATRIOT missiles, I still think it's a relevant reference. Still got some paint to do, and tires to throw on it... So keep checkin back!

Dr. Cranky Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Rob, you keep hitting homeruns. Man, you are not only talented and prolific, but your imagination is really good. You must have a nice collection of these by now. You are keeping GENERAL EYEGORE very happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Jim, every time I see you here I get extremely happy knowing that you are now retired and you finally can build to your hearts content. It must be a great feeling. I, on the other hand, have about 10-12 years to go before I get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting to the point where I'm gonna have to either donate, trade, or sell my earlier builds if I dont find some room somewhere for 'em! It's crazy.
