Dr. Cranky Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I can't wait to see more. Keep up the great, inspiring work, folks!!! More eye candy, please.
rat95dyna Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Been doing some forum research and have decided to forgo my normal, armor-type weathering in favor of salting. If you don't see any more pics of the Ol' Monaco, it means I have thrown it across the room in frustration and am on my way to Cranky's house for tutoring! LOL! I am leaving the computer now to put on the second coat of stippled rust in prep for the "Morton's Method" aka salting... Fingers crossed, here we go... If I'm not back by this evening it means I have decided to take up flower arranging instead! Godspeed, Mick
Railfreak78 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I think if you throw that car across the room I'm gonna have to make a trip up north!
rat95dyna Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Well, hmmmm...ummmm... Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Monaco with stippled rust layers, awaiting salting. Hosted on Fotki Initial painting of interior. Seat is not attached. Highlighting, shading and weathering to follow. Also visible are items (not weathered) to be placed inside. Hosted on Fotki Salting test on my son's camaro model, no rust coat. The top turned out well but I went a bit heavy on the deck lid. I'm sure with a more judicious use of the salt I can get the effect I am looking for. Jeez, I was SO looking forward to arranging flowers... Godspeed, Mick
Railfreak78 Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 I'm half tempted to make a 3rd vehicle now lol. Great updates Mick I'm glad you never threw it lol.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 So far it is looking like you have the rigth technique down. I'm seeing good results. Keep it going.
Guest Mustang3.8 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Nice job on the builds, guys. As soon as my next EI payment arrives, I'll be ordering my '71 Riviera.
Jantrix Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Okay, I finally have pics. Alert the media. The front bumper area is the only 1:1 fiberglass/plastic part that I'm keeping on the car, but as you can see it'll be a bit tattered. I'm looking forward to weathering this. More soon.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Ooooh, I like that SSR vehicle. Good work on it so far. Keep it going!
charlzrocks Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Since nearly everything I do has to be an elaborate over complicated affair, I've decided to once again, create a back story for this build. You all can follow along, if you wish... Chronicles of the 'Wheelman' – day by day account of one man's survival in a post-apocalyptic world. Day 1: Packed some food / water/ clothes in the Magnum & set off for the wilderness. I think I'd be better off hunkering down somewhere where there is little in the way of these raging zombies. I'm headed west w/ as much fuel As I can carry. Day 3: Traveling during the daylight is WAY safer than at night. The zombie sare out in force @ night. I haven't killed any yet, but I also have little in the way of weapons, other than the car itself. It's been hell trying to get out of the city, as there aren't many roads that aren't jam packed with abandoned vehicles. I have snagged some stuff from a hardware store for protection, like pipes, a machete, and some otherstuff to fend off the evil. Not many humans around much anymore; I think they are all dead or have run out of town. Wow, this is soooo cool! I am looking forward to further install ments! Maybe you can work in a few of the builds as you encounter them on your quest for survival! Keep up the Saga!!
Blake Rogers Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 Okay, I finally have pics. Alert the media. The front bumper area is the only 1:1 fiberglass/plastic part that I'm keeping on the car, but as you can see it'll be a bit tattered. I'm looking forward to weathering this. More soon. WICKED MAN I LOVE IT KEEP IT UP
Railfreak78 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Sweet!! Now that your working on stuff you make Cranky and I look normal Great work so far guys!! Just cause mine are done certainly does not mean I'm not watchin. A member here was right. I'm so hooked! Can anyone think of a reason the convoy might need a bike? or Trike?
Railfreak78 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Also guys I forgot to say thank you for the compliments on the Suburban half track. I got so carried away starting the other car that I completely forgot and then we had more great builds starting!
Railfreak78 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I am really peaked at the 4 wheeler Idea. I knew a crazy biker that had an old Harley Shovelhead mated to a Nova Frame that housed a 500CI Caddy! I tell the truth! I happen to have a couple of bike kits that are not complete. Hmm lol.
charlzrocks Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I am digging this whole thing. It's really a hoot to come back and see some of the twisted stuff we can come up with on this forum thread! LOL! That "Decapitizer" is wickedly simple, but effective! Make sure the build has some brains hanging off the wire? I love it!!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 We need more folks to go a-huntin'! Keep the good progress going, folks!!! Let there be more eye candy!
Railfreak78 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Congrates Wheelman!! May 5th will be my 13th with my girl but we are going to actually get married now! Have fun buddy.

Edited February 28, 2010 by moparfan426
charlzrocks Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 That should keep the zombies out, for a while at least, Some of em got them huge claws and they could rip through that wood. Better reinforce it with steel or a wire mesh grid if you can find it. I gotta pick up a few corpses for a "client", see ya later!
WickedWelder Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 This is the Dodge Im working on. Using monster truck springs for the lift, and I have some Irocks from So Real that I want to use. It has a 50 cal on the top of the cab along with some flood lights pointing off to the sides. The bed has been cut down to have two gunner positions with either 30 cal or 50 cals(dont know which I want to use) then I have 3 barrels that will hold extra fuel, water and oil, and last but not least it has the working end of a tow truck to either help out someone who has some problems or to open those stubborn locked doors and gates that we may find along the way...lol Let me know what you think. Thanks Gary
Railfreak78 Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Right on! New stuff. Looks good so far the chains give a wicked look to the truck.
Blake Rogers Posted March 6, 2010 Author Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) cool build Gary i like it man were did you get that 50 and 30 from i would go with the 50cal bud more power behind that gun Edited March 6, 2010 by moparfan426
