Eric

Thanks for asking but I think I'm gonna sit this one out and just follow the thread. I've already got a few projects on the table.

[kjadud0667]

i think its almost time to call her done but if i decide something is missing i will add more . i think i want to make a bumper or plow

[Spike]

you should make a plow like they got on the front of trains

[Spike]

ok. I finally snapped some pics of the DEATH WAGON!

I have the main cannon in place and the front bumper, along with all the upper armor. You can see the gatling gun ni progress along with 2 smalled cannons... also the rims I'll be using. Need to finish lower armor and exo-cage soon.

Here's the pics,,,

Hello all! Well with the body sitting for cure time i decided to start the dio for the build.. I gonna stage as if he was racing and bendin a corner with a bit of humor to it. Hopefully I can keep steady at the bench to keep progress rollin as smooth as it has been. Well heres the pics of the car and then soe shot s of the dio..

This area of the dio will be the vacant lot across the street from abandon factory buildings like the movie.

I used hemp threads fer the ground texture. the base is cardboard and the ground cover is small amounts of drywall comp..

I airbrushed the ground with light brown and then used a rusting powders to get the desired color of a mud. I used lil pebbles found under my gutter drain for debris blowing off the bridge. Hopefully I can put this under my dio belt and keep it moving.. I think once the projects I have goin on I will venture out more to building these dio's. Great fun these things are, If ya havent tried it you should!!!!!

Alittle humor. (no offense in any way).. jus fer the thought....

Those builds are totally SICK......they are so Coooooool.....this is just an idea but....if some one could do photo crop and fabricate up a pic of all the finished cars in a race against each other.......I think that would be off the hook....Great work to all builders on this'
