front bench...definatly id drop a front bench in my 1:1 08 charger if i could im building one of these (the older revell 3'n'1) and im using front seats rahter then a bench because its all i have here is my body (as inspiration, not as a threadjack) with less then 10 hours on the ENTIRE build so for

first time weathering ? you should really let us know how you achieved this effect my only criticism...should have gone with wider rear wheels

no problem i know i have several of models sitting on my shelf with the same "paint issue" its all part off having a clear vision of the end product "where does this part go" , "how does this fit into the whole" that type of thing looking forward to your next build

thanks, its a two edged sword...i have it in two CBPs and the descriptions are almost identical...just replace punks with zombies and your done im actually really enjoying this build there is something about modifying a body without needing it to look "nice"

i like it Brian BUT you rushed yourself i have seen a few of your builds and you can do better then this look at the bottom of your interior tub...it's white dont take this the wrong way, im not putting you down, but the bottom of the build is not up to par with the top of it

little update on my build after i converted it to run on propane we noticed that even with the trunklid removed the tanks still poked up a bit to keep from stray bullets sending my to kingdom come i decided to weld up and enclosement (ill ad mesh later) on a side note, im really excited to add this little part on here...it is a wink back to the car max drove in the road warrior (chin spoiler up next) before you look at these pics i want you to remember that when we welded these plates on there i did not have time to weld it like i usually do (normally my welds look like rolls of quarters) whats that ? whats with the gymbag you ask? well, i was thinking of working out later on tonight...working on keeping some punk out off my car

that made me chuckle maybe ill put in a pair of combats in there instead...you know if i take one step out off this vehicle ill be knee deep in...well...stuff nikes wont hold up too

here is some progress on galloper after we converted it to run on propane we noticed that even with the trunklid removed the tanks still poked up a bit to keep the TZs from gumming through the lines we decided to weld up and enclosement (ill ad mesh later) before you look at these pics i want you to remember that when we welded these plates on there were TZs hot on our trail and i did not have time to weld it like i usually do (normally my welds look like rolls of quarters) whats that ? whats with the gymbag you ask? well, i was thinking of working out later on tonight...working some zombies out of this world that is

isn't it obvious? its got a FLAT TIRE

it was one of the 10 plagues that God unleashed on Egypt (mainly because the egyptians worshipped froggs and it was a good way of sticking it to them) but in the book of revelation (singular guys ) there are three evil spirits that are depictid as froggs as far as frogs raining from the sky as a biblical sign of the end of days...no

i like it, it is on of my favorite kits (in the modified stockers version that is)...there are a milion ways to build these and ive never seen two alike but some better pics would be nice (i know you can, ive seen the national gaurd car before)

this engine was in my previous passat pretty much indestructable VW 1.8 turbo chipped to spike at 18 PSI and held a steady 16 all day long loved that engine it made that car a perfect sleeper

looks great and the hockeys are a nice change form the billboards (all my cudas have billboards )

at least they didnt play that anoying REM song na-na-na-na-nah na-na-na-na-nah na-na-na-na-naahhh nayah end of the world as we know it that song is like syfilus, just cant get rid of it

got up early today and laid down some paint im building this one as a car that was a daily driver before the world went awry and that got modded on the fly so ill ad the modding later

glad to hear that Doc i figured this was the most authentic way to build it i allready have the cowling build out of styrene sheet that will go on the back to make the new liftgate (for lack of a better word) onto now it is time to start weathering (not my strongpoint) oh, and i still need more guns (in the mail) and cowbell

allright guys i finally managed to get some paint on galloper today this is how she sat when the outbreak first spread (shes allready sporting the hood we picked up later when we found the blower engine in the burned out car) now its just a matter of waiting for the paint to dry and then i can start modding her like we would in real life you can allready see the propane tanks in the trunk...i will make some sort off spoiler type deal that runs down like the side of a charger rear window so i can cover them up and keep the TZs from gumming through the lines

"tag" you're it

thanks doc i am building this car in the same manner the driver would, make it into a car first, then add the TZH stuff (if that makes sence?) they wifey has been giving me 15 minute windows after work each day to build which isnt much but at least were moving i cant wait to get some colour on her though, maybe i can look better in the next slideshow

im in the same boat (or should i say caravan) my build runs those same tires in the rear and blue ovals in the front they are great tires and the most real looking material for tires ive ever seen i got them in a trade once and have NO idea where they came from

thats too bad cos i was gonna secretly toss in some (i beleive) blue oval tires oh well offer still stands, just shoot me your addy and ill get the tires out

the one on the left seems to be inspired by the famous Dutch artist Piet Mondrian i have exactly ONE JL car that came with the model kit off the 70 challenger it is my favorite, well past the dozens of hotwheels my boy has simply because it has an opening hood and a nice engine funny story about hotwheels im a sundayschool teacher and a while ago i had only boys in my class we had a church wide contest to see which kid could memorize the most verses i bought a ton of hotwheels and several of the clear plano brand storage totes and gave each child his own space in it then i mounted these totes to the wall and for every verse they memorized they got to pick a hotwheel and put it in there tote the way i had the totes set up the hotwheels actually made a bar graph to make it easy (and fun) to follow each childs progress at the end of the contest the winner got to take ALL his hotwheels home, the others got to pick thier favorite one and take that one home and the teacher gave the rest to his boy and took the totes home to put his modelling tools in to this day you can still make out the names on the totes

doc, im embarrased to see my build in thw line up, it looks like i just put the body on wheels and thats it hopefully my next update will be more exciting its in its second coat of primer right now and ill let the cat out of the bag...it wil be yellow thats right YELLOW keep in mind galloper is not a purpose build TZH vehicle, it is more the first set of wheels my guys could get thier hands on when the outbreak first spread and has been slowely modifed since...so no camo on mine (on a side note, holloween is spelled halloween)

thanks for the info Brett i kinda sorta knew that (come to think of it, i saw a buddy of mine do the grinding of the cylinders once on the 350 he was building for his blazer i was more poking the bear then being serious, seeing how mopar makes a 383 big block, from the factory

i have one set (not sure where they came from) that looks like they will be perfect for this build only downside is, the both have nicks (one little on big) from where they were removed from the tree shoot me your addy and they're on thier way
