Datsun-Tank

[chunkypeanutbutter]

After seeing Daxman's Datsun 510 post-apocalyptic sedan-truck, I got an idea. I had a Datsun pickup body and interior on my stereo desk, and I just bought an RC tank at work for an apocalypse car mashup.... Only natural that this happened. This was only one night, so there are some thing that should need doing, like a couple more details to cover over goobers... but that'll happen in a few months, probably.

Revell Escalade EXT engine... *ahem* "engine."

Rocket from a Lindberg Cobra Helicopter.

Someone tried to chain-lasso this thing, and lost an arm in the process, Mad Max Cundalini-style. (It's Casey Luna's arm, from the Monogram kit.)

Double-lever steering, these were made from parts-box shocks. The seats are from a Revell Willys pickup.

So, yes; there are quite a few rough spots. I could do better with some weathering powders, my set of which I have lost. However, it looks good on the shelf, and I like that.

Thanks, guys! This was a good way to use spare junk, and I'll definitely do more of these things.

Snow? What snow? All the 60mph wind then rain shortly after made most of it disappear!
