For those wondering,

Guess I better Armour up dang good and out run ya Gunners and follow Evilone (from a distance of course :rolleyes: )

Ok 84Vanagon this is just for you. I was trying to decide what kkit to use when it hit me. I'm gonna use a shelf sitter thats been done awhile but it lookks likke ######(not black ###### though :P ). I've decided to use a tamiya '72 nissan skkyline GT-R. So 84 theres your GT for your obliterator. So since I'm using a import/tuner Let the hate mail begin :P

Skylines are cool. Gonna be a shame to obliterate yours lol!

I like the old school rear drive Imports.

I'm hoping the new AMT will choose to re-release MPC's 80's Celica Supra. That was a great kit!

I almost picked the 62 Cat also.

If I get the GTO done I may do a 62 in old school 2000 guise.

Great name by the way. I may have to amend mine.

Man, I love building models like this, very creative, and very forgiving. Too much glue? Screw it, add more dirt!

I have finally come up with a name for my little creation. Thinking of the shields, armor and weapons, and the fact that this is a "300", what could be more perfect than......

the SPARTAN!

The seams are all welded for increased structural integrity. The only opening is the drivers door which has been halved and gullwinged. I've decided to addd an external roll cage like the old safari jeeps. Weapons will be mounted to that. Well back to work.

All WIP pics will be here. http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g73/Jant...athrace%20300C/

Just for the gun

Just for the gun and maybe the roof Hatch.

But on a side note, The did sell civilian Hummers B)

Could I use this?

RevellJurassicpark.jpg

It was my first thought but I'm not? :lol:

i want to say the park was owned and operatied by a corporation, not a military, so i would allow the benz (also, it rocks)

I just returned from seeing Deathrace. If your not looking for Oscar winning performances, and are into general extreme gratuitous violence (like me), and plenty of automotive mayhem you will enjoy this film. This all looked like real cars, doing real stunts with real explosions. A very old school action movie. None of that George Lucas-esque CGI everything films. A very cool note. Roger Corman- executive producer. Another cool actor is Ian McShane who played Al Swearengen in the HBO series Deadwood, which I loved.

Last thought- I saw the trailer for Fast and Furious 4, starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. The 69 Charger is back!

EDIT: Here's a couple in progress shots. Oh, and Diymirage, although I will be adding a Michigan licence plate (for kicks), it will be metallic gold.

I took my wife to deathrace tonight . I told her the name of the film she looked it up ,found the theater and then was surprised that she didn't love a movie called deathrace. she told me she thought it was going to be better and she also thought there was going to be cooler cars.Oh well guess I have to go see a smoochie movie that i think will be better.I think I have my car picked but I need to run down a couple options first.

BTW Zukiholic, if youre gonna have trim or so around that BP glass, you may wanna make the thickness show somehow, maybe drilling a hole or something through it, coming to think of it ya could stick a machinegun out from it.. Just a thought.. Cool idea anyhow, reckon ya gonna be the only one without metalcovered windows.
