Guest Mustang3.8 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I think after everyone has thier builds done, we should post our finished photos all together and make a convoy.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 We did that at the Birmingham show the year we all built our vehicles. Let me see if I can dig up the pictures . . . stay tuned in . . .
Railfreak78 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Welcome back Blake! Nice to see ya bud! Hey Kevin man you should watch Death Race. That will get your mind going! Oh and I can't wait to see that SSR kit done up all crazy. Nice to see the tread really going. I'll work on mine today some more. Have a great day guys!
Jantrix Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Oh and I can't wait to see that SSR kit done up all crazy. I'm not going to go all out on this, just a neat weathered/damaged ride. I'll save that wicked engine and grab something from the parts box. A sci-fi wastelands scout vehicle. As for weaponry, I'm gonna raid my kids Bionicle parts bin. Should be building soon, we're finally got all our stuff in this lil house and should be living there early next week. Edited February 8, 2010 by Jantrix
Corvette.Jeff Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 its to bad about the subaru the cammmy looks wicked thanks, im guessing since this is a caravan of sorts, my vehicle would be the scout, the one that goes ahead of the group to bring the zombies to thier impending doom
Dr. Cranky Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Here are a couple of pictures from that infamous show a few years back: You can check them all out here: http://public.fotki.com/vsuarez666/voodoo-customs-chop-shop/road_trip_archives/birmingham-classic-2007/
Jantrix Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Thanks for posting those Victor. I wasn't able to make it to Birmingham, but I mailed in my red 57, the Gunslinger. I was glad to be a part of it.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Yeah, buddy, it was fun! And the best part was also this amazing thread where all the builders posted their progress, but unfortunately the Monday after the show the editor of the magazine and forum pulled the plug on it and erased everything!
Jantrix Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Yeah, 200+ pages of some of the coolest building I've ever seen, pissed away. I sent the editor in question a nasty gram about that. Totally depressing.
Railfreak78 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 A quick update... Oh No i went to a hobby store and found a lot more guns Wow those contest pics are crazy Jeff the scout thing sounds cool this whole storyline and caravan group thing is really neat. Dang nab it Cranky and the rest have me dreaming of this build at night now
Dr. Cranky Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 The dreaming is part of the fun, buddy! Go, go, go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JTRACING Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Yeah, 200+ pages of some of the coolest building I've ever seen, pissed away. I sent the editor in question a nasty gram about that. Totally depressing. why was it they deleted it? no wonder i couldn't find it when i did a search a while back lol...
Dr. Cranky Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Because the editor felt the material was way too much for all the children who participated on the forum! Ah, I don't want to think about it again.
JTRACING Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 some neat ideas to be found in you tube. click through all the related videos and stuff
Blake Rogers Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 hey Brian how are u? GUYS i love how this is all coming together once i set up my new area i will be going full speed on this build got a scout i am going to be AS well lol good thing i came up with this build on here eh lmao
charlzrocks Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 This is going quite well. All the builds look sooo cool! But what's with the "Caravan" thing? Is this the Military or a Mad Max Movie? Mad Max, Max Headroom, it's all the same! LOL!! A diorama of this build would be the size of a tennis court! I would love to see a poll at the end of the build with all the individual builds pictured.
Blake Rogers Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 A couple more.... Enjoy! dude she is coming together quite well can wait to see her done
Railfreak78 Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Charles that is great about the Diorama!! . The poll thing would be really cool too. I don't have any progress today sorry guys. I have to many projects going on and today it was the pool trucks turn. I did get more weapons and more ideas though. In fact the Suburban sits right next to me so I plotted out the "porch" (supply area on the back and porch is in my train blood as a term on the EMD SD40-2) This thing is almost as big I'm also really getting the itchy finger to make a little something extra in this build so I will be hard and heavy on it tomorrow. Blake thanks for the complements and for starting this thread its a blast for sure.!
charlzrocks Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 I did get more weapons and more ideas though. I'm also really getting the itchy finger to make a little something extra in this build so I will be hard and heavy on it tomorrow. I think the best way to start a build is to think about it for a few days if not more and get the build in your minds eye. That is helpful for sure! As far as something extra that you are looking for.......ya gotta think outside the box to come up with that. Try maybe a remote operated flying attack drone that can be launched from the vehicle?
Corvette.Jeff Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 the only progress i really made was i made some "battle damage" per crankys hobby knife and sandpaper method, then some bullet holes the same way. pics later.
Railfreak78 Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Here is a teaser update as I wait for the plow frame to set and the main part of the porch. I also am in the middle of painting the weapons. This set is so cool there is 2 brackets so there is double of every gun ammo strips and knives that are on the box. I also got the engine back in... Enjoy..

Railfreak78 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Ok fellas here is the plow (not done) I have to add more braces and a few more secrets but the main part is done. This took a lot longer than I wanted so the porch did not get far however I started something else to ease that itchy finger I was talking about I'll add in the post after this...
Railfreak78 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Introducing "The Other Side". We all have Zombie killers and no zombies so.......... I'm starting the opposition with this. (of course its going to be blown to bits)
