diymirage Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) What warthog didja get them things from? surely not the A10? they looks cool, an just a thought, ifn youd put some airbags on yer front, you could sneak up on Evil, drop yer front, slide under his DonkyDeathscalator and givem a hot seat wit them things they are not actually from a warthog, i found them in the partsbox they were a set from a dragster, you know the kind that have them come of the side ? like on jungle jims funny car i just modded them to make them fit but once they were in i noticed how much they looked like a warthog specially with the hood in place (hoodscoop kinda looks like nostrils right ? COOL Gatling! I want to have at least 4 barrells on mine... maybe more. i guess mine will have 5...maybe more Edited August 28, 2008 by diymirage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 i guess i took this car a little to far . Um...................nope looks right on to me. Lets face it, if there was ever a build off that SHOULD be over the top and taken to far, THIS IS IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 and sorry Diymirage i kinda took ur idea with the lifting but i took mine over the edge its cool, its pretty much inevitable that we all do some things the same, makes it intresting to see how we all put our own spin on things your looks like its halfway in a liftoff its not a wheelstander deathracer is it ?

Jantrix Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Updated pic. Sort of fleshing out the external roll cage. Weapons are still a ways off right now. I'm planning two horizontal side bars, and extra armor will be mounted there. Two roll bars will go over the rear potion of the roof and weapons will be mounted on those. I'l planning a .50 cal and a quad RPG rig. Oil, smoke and grenade deployment from the rear. Paint will be metallic gold with metallic red graphics. If you can't quite understand what I'm shooting for, think of Ric Flair (wrestler- Google it) as a deathracer, and you might get the idea. The car will be damaged here and there and look a bit road weary, but it's nothing more gold paint won't fix.

The car looks cool! I'm planning an exo-cage as well and I'm planning to put some bends and twists in the cage to show where I rammed other cars...

CB Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 yo my paycheck sucked big time but i noticed that i had an escalade in my stash i have to strip it down and all that stuff but i was wondering if i could use it? I think thats the coolist part bout this, is startin with an almost 'stock' car and then thrashin on it--when the drivers seat, steery, etc are already in place ya gots to work around em, an I'm thinkin that's how it were in the idea of the movie. Just think bout doin Kasteer's warwagon in 1;1. sledgehammr out the windshield an slide a 15' long cannon barrel in---would dat be cool or what?

Casey429 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'm a liitle late to that game, but I'd like to trow my hat into the death ring. I got a few kits for free a while back, some started, some opened and two still sealed. I'm building all of them as street cars, except for this one. Out of all of the kits, this one was the worst, not only the kit itself, but it was also missing pieces, so it'll be a curbside. It' the '70 Chevelle SS454 from AMT. This threat also inspred me to get up and build something as I've been in a bit of a slump. So here are te beginnings of ChevHELLe. All the pars so far were build with scraps of styrene and sprue. Battering ram and bracing Rear armor, or what the movie calls the "Tombstone" An overall shot showing the window armor. I'm not sure what I'm doing for weapons yet, and I still have to plate the doors. Im going to go with a semi clean appearace, depicting a "new" death racer fresh from the prison garage.
