I had grabbed these figures at Target tonight. Please add a caption to this photo.

Sorry about pic quality, but here are some pics of the finished satel-eye-t.

Robert I am really digging this thing alot. It looks like they went to the junk yard with welder in hand and pretty much wiped out the ready to crush pile. It almost doesnt even need any paint man I think it looks good having a different color for each panel. Keep up the good work man.

I have been wanting to add more satelites, but I couldnt figure out how to scratch build until I was walking through Hobby Lobby and came across theese googly eyes that are dome shaped. so I bought a couple bags cut the googley out of one and now all I have to do is make a mount for it.

I got a little more time to build tonight. I figured my troops needed a way to get to there safety box, and they also needed a way to get to there supplies and the satelite in case something went wrong with it. I made the bottom ladder fold up so it doesnt drag and the zombies cant climb aboard.

Wow I am really digging this. I love the hood.

I finally got some weather so I could put a coat of primer on the cargo box and cab. I also scratch built a cargo rack with a sattelite and some other goodies

Are you going to light yours up? I was going to try to light mine up, but right now im not too sure where I would put a battery box. Every time I sit down to the bench I add something new to it.

Hey guys I appolagize for all of these update pictures today, but I dont get a weekend off like this very often so I am taking advantage of it. Ok so far I have built a roof rack to make it a little more flat to put my guns on, and I have also built a tube cage around the engine bay to keep the zombies from damaging my engine. I am planning on putting spikes on the tubes to make it a little more dangerous.

I really like that paint job Neal. If you think about it these kind of paint jobs shouldnt be perfect, cause its not like we will have much time to go to Sherwin Williams or the auto parts store. Tom I really like your wheel choice, much better than what that kit comes with.

I have been toying arond with this idea for along time, but the more I think about it, it seems like to many big guns on one vehicle. What do you guys think?

I have spent most of the morning cutting and gluing styrene to make a peep station for my men with rifles and shot guns in the cargo box, and for protection to my driver and passenger. It didnt turn out how I wanted it to, but once I sand and primer and paint I dont think it will be too bad.

I thought that too until I had bought a box of finished models at an auction, and had found a pretty good looking Hemi Cuda held together with nothing but sticky tack (at least I thought it was sticky tack). It did make it alot easier to take apart so I can restore in the future.

Rodney, that paint job is sweet man. Rob, I am really digging that. Is the cab from the midnight cowboy?

Heres for the guys who wanted the 90 degree saw for zombie slaying fun.

Thanks Jason. The tires are just mocked up right now, and the engine isnt done yet either. I have along ways to go on this yet.

I think I may have come up with a name. Tell me if you like it or not. HEAR EVIL, SPEAK EVIL, SAW EVIL

Thanks for all the great comments guys. I cut it with a dremel, I just cut small straight lines all the way around the circle and then went back over them at an angle. There are some rough looking spots in the blade, but that is going to come with sawing cars and large debris in half. Rob I was going to turn it 90 degrees, but my main purpose is to clear large debris out of my way do to the fact that I will probably be somewhere at the front of the convoy. I will probably make another one at 90 degrees and attach magnets to them so I can interchange them. My plans are to build one with spikes, one that is just flat for bull dozing, one at 90 degrees and one that has some kind og gun or flame thrower on the front of it. Jerred

Ok, here it is. I appolagize for the pink back ground boys, but it is all I could find at the time. I am going to try to build a few contraptions like this and magnetize them like on Crankys tutorial so I have a few more zombie killing options. I have along way to go on this, but I dont get very much time during the week to work on it. I have this weekend off, so you will probably be seeing a few posts and pics on this one in the next 2 days.

I had picked these up at an auction with a whole lot more, but these are my favorite ones. I know they will all need restored, but I got the whole tote for $2 bucks. Cant beat a deal like that.III

Ok here is where I am at with the monster truck semi (no name yet). I tried my new rust solution on the engine first, and probably was a mistake. I am going to try to add some color in a few minutes and see if that will make it better.

Cant wait Rob. Im sure it is going to be mind blowing.
