[Railfreak78]

Ok friends, Here is the introduction of the amunitions and general transporter. This can be used for weapons, innocents, water, etc. This is the way I got it. No tracks etc. I'm going to have fun with this one..

[jedimastergary]

[Railfreak78]

That turned out FANTASTIC! Great job and I have to say that I have always been leary of working with brass but that gun is awesome! I really love the way the sides look overall as well.

Can Johnny join the convoy?

[jedimastergary]

Nice one got the motor in my buggy, added headers,Windshield made, front rollcage put on,

some weapons made(Axe,Machete) and interior in. Need to decide on main

weapons and decide if going to add body panels like roof and small hood.

almost done with it then can go on to either a truck idea I have, 58

plymouth think might have frame in box of models orI have a couple

ideas a scratch built buggy or salvageing a 55 Nomad and building a

war wagon/weapons carrier idea I have. So many ideas and not enough

time to build with everything else I have to do.

Looked at the death race build off on the site got some ideas also

found couple more sites with some good ideas.

Thank you very much. That's the first time working with brass... just threw it together once I figured out what pieces I had. First time aging/dusting tires like that too. I think they add nicely to the overall look.

[jedimastergary]

Makes it look like it just rolled out of the junk

pile they found it in and had a little work to get

it running again. The wheels are killer and the

guns are great. Right now I have no idea what kind

of weapons my buggy will get have to see what will

fit and if it gets a roof that is solid or just

some fence like stuff.

[jedimastergary]

got the buggy mostly finished just adding gear like backpacks, shovel, rope

found some head lights want to add to it should be done today. then going

to start working on my 58 Plymouth got some guns made for it and think found

the frame for it in a box. have some great ideas for it.

[Blake Rogers]

a guy goes and starts a new job and BAM lol GREAT work and progress guys yes stang you can join i cant wait to see what ur going to do and RAIL that looks sick so far

[Railfreak78]

Ok so call me MR Backwards. I took a truck and turned it into a tank ( 1/2 Track ) now I'm taking a tank and turned it into a 6x6. Now it's time to cut it open! I started but need to make some alterations after the first cuts were made. This will fully open to accomodate people and I'll make some scratch built hand trucks to move weapondry and supplies in and out. Blake I'm just getting started my friend The only bad news is now I need whats left of that Tank you wanted lol.

Thanks, Blake. "Johnny's" '71 Riviera will be flat black with tinted windows, custom "zombie cutter" wheels, and other goodies. I will be using a Jimmy Flintstone Tailspin slammer for the build.

[Blake Rogers]

kasteer looks amazing dude stang ur welcome can't wait and rail its cool buddy great idea there reminds me of the apc thing from a movie that had 3 tires in a triangle frame but looks like ur doing well so far

[jedimastergary]

What was the name of that movie remember seeing it and found pics of vehicle in search but do not remember name of movie.

Started on my 58 Plymouth found the frame for it in a box of models

had it the whole time in another kit so got the frame built to the

floor pan got the door panels on trying to build a solid tube front

axle with no springs. Going to build a dash from spare model parts

to give it a military feel. Thiking of either going with tracks or

a stock rear axle followed by a solid tube axle so it has 4 rear

tires and decided probably going to use the 426 hemi from a 70

super bee with the tunnel ram and dual carbs. Not sure on weapons

might build a cannon of some kind. Hope to get a digital camera when

I get my college money next month so can post some pics of my builds.

[Hornistfuller]

maybe the duece coupe with sharkfins from "the stand" by steven king? its only in the book. not the miniseriers.

[Blake Rogers]

i love the that book but don't remember the car lol sure why not

[jedimastergary]

got some work done on my 58 plymouth today scratch built dash, rear floor

added seats hope to get pics soon going to try and borrow camera from my

mom or sister and take some. Working on bumpers, main gun from soda straws

I have a question should I do it as a half track/ dual rear axle or single

rear axle? I have been trying to decide all day and have not come up with

a answer yet. Also it is rust color and black right now would it be better

painted a solid color?

[Blake Rogers]

half track!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lime green???

[Railfreak78]

Blake SUBLIME is not a factory Half Track Mopar option oh speaking of half tracks I forgot to say I have a name for mine thanks to the pres of my club. He called it" Sub-Urban" I like it

[jedimastergary]

Not sue on the color as for the half track idea I

am not sure went through parts box and found my tracks

are missing and no wheels for any of the tires I have

will see what I can make. Also been thinking of trying

my first semi truck and might make it a half track will

see what comes when I sit down to work later today.

As for color I am thinking of a camo paint job with

flat black with gray primer and white spots maybe a

little rust.

[Railfreak78]

I have some left over track "wheels" and some that are broke off the new project. You would have to make pegs for them if your project is missing them. I'll get pics later and if you need them let me know.

[jedimastergary]

I made a solid rear axle going with 4 rear tires after test fitting

the frame I made it looked good as a 6x6. found my tracks in parts

box while looking for important college papers. might scrap few

other ideas as not liking how the plan is going for them. Also

might go to better hobby shop in few weeks and pick up some supplies

like missles,guns,plastic sheet and tubes my suppliesare either low

or out right now. Mabey even get new project going to hit few thrift

stores when get money see if they have any models or weapons.

[Blake Rogers]

sounds good gary don't let go of your idea sounds wicked and Brian shhhhh it was available i seen it shhhhh

[jedimastergary]

Well last night got interior painted a light blue and

detailed the gauges and got some electronics stuff

built and was all ready to call it almost done when I

suffered set back on 58 Plymouth that stopped all work

on it today the rear frame I built and attached axles to

is to tall front wont sit on tires going to try and

build front frame or diffrent front axle set up.

I have shelfed my other ideas for a bit until i can

restock my supplies I am out of weapons and plastic

sheet also no tubing in supplies so have to put things

on hold for bit might try other idea been holding in

secret and see how it turns out.
