Getting quiet around here! My Equestrian zombie hunter didn't make the last video? Nameless, earlier today. Too many ideas, not enough parts.....

I've been gathering parts to make a 23 T. Last time I was working on it, I stuck the incomplete vehicle and all its parts on ebay, so I have to start from scratch.

The way we do it is to use an external site such as http://www.fotki.com/ . Once our image is uploaded there, we click on it's "share" option to get the link. We then click on the image button on the second row of the forum editor box (sort of looks like a polaroid photo or a small TV). We past the link into that, and hey presto, a properly presented image!

I'm thinking a gatling where the blower would sit. It isn't the first time I've done that, but some mongrel stole my last one from the display case at the hobby shop I worked at.

Seeing as how this build is looking rather like a cross between the Interceptor and the Bat car, have some pics:

Lambo power plant? Long time since I've had one of those! Looks promising.

So many hours, so little change! The Equestrian avengers now have their first weapon. and the Nameless one has sort of taken on a Mad Max look. Organizing those wheels was hard. Bits and pieces from all over the place. I hate those modern flashy wheels with low profile tires. Now it has some genuine 60's rims. Yes, I bought a 64 Fairlane for its rims. I had a lot of these rims back when they were orange and burgandy.

Hehe. I recognize that gun!

This one's been stripped back to the fiberglass. http://www.corvettespecialties.com/Dick63Con.html This may be showing some sort of undercoat inside the panels, or their resin is a different color:

Zombie hunting tools. 1:18, but close enough! http://www.marauderinc.com/servlet/Detail?no=363

I just did, didn't I?

Make sure you do NOT rust the body! I made that mistake once. Vette's are fiberglass!

I don't think you can be a brony without being aware of the newer show! I have the episodes, and am also quite familiar with the internet fanbase. It even has a post apocalyptic story based on the Fallout games (Fallout Equestria - google it), and yes, there are zombie ponies in it.

No offense taken. I would qualify as a Brony, even if I am a little old for the demographic at 48! I've been a little pony nut for decades, and by that I mean real live miniature ponies. The interest in the plastic/cartoon variety stemmed from that.

I've done more on the nameless black Dodge, (or should that be Nameless, the black Dodge?) And more on the Equestrian Zombie Hunter.

The Dodge so far. Pretty much assembled as per the instructions... apart from the chopping and filing needed to make the crappy thing fit together. There was simply too much height of plastic in the front assembly for it to fit together. I had to file and shave a lot off. I really miss my old parts box.....

Turbo four from a Revell Mustang. Seriously though, I haven't seen a trace of what I sold (in Melbourne) and as I'm getting back into this hobby now, I keep recognizing kits that I had, and I am amazed at how many of them there were. This is just a fraction of them - and are the only photos I can find from when I sold them. I got $222 for just the parts box stuff alone. Now I have a pitiful collection of a few left over bits from someone else's builds. Not enough stuff to even build a car.

Perhaps Cousins twice removed. The new breed are a different species.

I'm going to break the mold again.... This is a zombie hunter build, in "Fallout: Equestria" style Don't know what Fallout: Equestria is? Then Google it!

Okay... This is a genuine parts box build. (read what's at the bottom too) But with context to this build, I am probably cheating. See if you can spot the clues!

One of these days, I'm going to see the parts I sold about 10 years ago, when I got out of the hobby reappearing in models!

Clearly you haven't experienced steam oil and coal dust!

Current progress. I'm nearly done with it.

Post aChopalyptica is more or less done in these photos. Mud/dust has already been added since they were taken. I need to paint a couple of door hinge mounts inside, and maybe add some lights. Interestingly, so far there is not a single gun on or in this car. May do some rusting, and the tires may need some matt varnish. (This build is staying with me in Australia.)

I can never get their web site to work. I wish they would get it coded properly.
