B-dub

thanks guys. I'm happy to say that I did indeed find a few models while I was back home for the weekend. I'm still unsure what all is missing or what exactly I have But right off the bat I found a plastic tub with at least 8 model kits in it. I brought 2 tubs home and will inventory it sometime soon.

You seem oddly familiar... you should start gathering up some of those kits and sell me some stuff I know you have far too many hoarded away. Thanks. I honestly don't know if any were stolen I think they were in my mom's house and never actually in storage. (if I remember correctly) I just honestly don't know what I even have anymore.

Defiantly doesn't seem the same around here...

time really does fly by fast I've not touched a model in 4 years. Even then I built 1 model. Before then I had only ever built pre-painted plastic models as a kid or models that my stepdad would paint the body for me. I'm living in a new place with a spare bedroom and can't help but think of all those times I wish I had a designated room and I always said one day I'd make a hobby room.... well now I plan on it. Hopefully I stick around this time and can actually work my way back into building. I have a wanted post up now hoping to find some of those old models. I know when I go back to visit family within the next couple of weeks I really have my fingers crossed that I might have a few models left (all my stuff was stolen in a storage unit that was broken into) so I'm not sure what all I actually have left from those days.

don't forget to paint a 3 on the side lol.. I (might) work on mine some tonight.. dunno yet

I almost ripped the armor off mine and built it that way.. lol

It's still in the same place I left it. I started working on an f-150 to take a break and I've not worked on a model in a few days. right now I'm to the point I need to hack out the side so there will be a place for the guns to be coming out of.. I didn't think it through when I glued it together so it's going to be a pain.

mine was changed from the escalade to a mack and tank

they work fine for me?? Just copy the image url and click the image box up top when you are posting and enter it or use the tags on the pic.

I want to see more rust details lol I like the way your method looks

hubcaps real

I almost bought one of the saws.. after using an xacto knife to slice the tanker and having to do a ton of block sanding to get it straight I wish I would have gotten one... lol It's looking good.

reminds me of a Dodge interceptor... with a van on top haha

I'm having a ton of fun with this. Now I just need to wait until I can gather the funds to order some styrene and I can get to work on it some more. like I said it is loosely based on the Dreadnought from Death race the way I see it is it can be a fortress on wheels and a defense against any marauders who try and attack the caravan plus plenty of room for storage with a section left for fuels When the world ends there will be plenty to scavenge from ... We find an abandoned tank that was being restored along with a stockpile of live ammo at an armory. It was being readied to be converted into a museum piece. We used a couple of crane vehicles and tools to hoist it on our converted tanker trailer and then armored our rig and headed out to search for a settlement!

A friend's family member found it in a trashcan as a baby lol and I'm shocked no one has exactly figured it out o.O so I'll post a pic of the 1:1 inspiration. that would be sweet but I'm already out of my comfort zone attempting this.. this will be my second model I'll be doing in a long time and second model I'll paint myself o.o

what about now? sorry for bad iphone pics

heck for $15 this isn't a bad kit to use to modify... in process of breaking the trailer back down to glue it together then I'll bondo a couple spots and ATTEMPT.. to get rid of the massive seam.. but idk how well I'll do

DO IT! I'm sure mine may not turn out very well but I can't resist I'm kind of shocked no one has mentioned what it is going to be... I was just looking for something smaller scale so I could use the 1:35 military guns and as soon as I saw the tanker online I just KNEW what had to be built.. just so happens hobby lobby had 1 sitting there and the tank was there too $15 a lot better than the $40 m1a1 I originally wanted.. and the size is perfect

lol.. I know someone will guess it soon enough. It's going to be very loosely based off something.

let's see how long it takes for someone to guess what I'm building

I have a new idea for the build so now I just need to come up with the money to order the kits needed... will be a surprise but it will me using 2 different kits bashed into 1.. then I'll be buying some guns to stick on it

haha thanks, I found it online some time ago and used to use it on facebook and noticed it was still saved on my computer so I decided to use it here. it would make an awesome decal on the vehicles for sure. I'm really excited to go shopping tomorrow... (that's an odd thing to say) I'm going to be looking at any possibilities that I come across.

dang cranky that thing looks almost good enough to just call done.. I love the semi-gloss look of that primer and I admit at first I wasn't liking the hood piece but now that it's painted it looks really nice... seeing how well random things look once painted to match makes me want to throw stuff on my TZH build.. this build is starting to give me more inspiration

time for me to dig out the legos...

oh you are starting Sat. not Friday.. in that case could I participate with my ford f-150 4x4 kit? all that I have done is glue the bed sides on and clean up the bed. no other assembly has been done. if not that then I think I'll have a quick look and see what I have
