Chuck Most Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 where did ya get that MG-34? it is 1/24? Look no further than your nearest Hasegawa Kubelwagen kit.

jedimastergary Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Looks like an interesting set of builds here nice work so far
Chuck Most Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Well... the war horse has begun to take shape. Basics, the Rommel's Rod tracks (still have to figure out the frame and bogeys for the tracks), Ford C-600 front and rear axles (both solid mounted to the scratchbuilt frame), Revell Peterbilt 359 front wheels and tires with the chrome stripped and resprayed in 'Chrome Silver', and an AMT Peterbilt tranny attached to an ALLISON V12. Obviously in its early stages, still have to add some more details and of course some weathering, but the ball is rolling now!
brett Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 real quick mockup to check for any wheelbase and/or any other fit problems no pics of the olds yet as that has its own kit chassis to start with. Colors have been chose for all four with artwork decided on for two so far
brett Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Got a bit achieved on the first (and easiest ) this one will be Famine each car will be the color of the horse ie red for war, black for famine ,have a pic of the horseman and its name on it. Apart from a couple hours tomorrow morning, I'm busy for the next 10 or so days and as the weather has already turned to custard (ie wet, winters starting ), paint might be a little while off. But I started on the mustang ( war) tonight
Chuck Most Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Glad to see some progress! My War Horse has already hit a brick wall...
brett Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 well I hope I havent buggered it up though the test chassis seemed to fit alright, when I test fit its own the wheelbase seemed to be a bit off (about 4mm too long so I wopped the front of the car off and added some styrene 4x2 mm why 4x2? well the width worked out pretty good and the thickness keeps me pretty close to the right shape with minimal filler slung some putty at it before I came in. The frontal droop looks a lot worse on screen than in person which could be a a bad thing as its the only way you guys will see it
brett Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 is anyone else doing this or not ? feeling quite alone here
made007 Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 i ahd an idea but, ia dont have time to start another, working in too much at same time + preparing for november CSAE in PR, sorry
Reliable Resin Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) slung some putty at it before I came in. The frontal droop looks a lot worse on screen than in person which could be a a bad thing as its the only way you guys will see it I'm having a lil' Deja vu When I did the master for my P/S P/M rsein body, I "think" I used 2 bodies & cut the front valance @ the bumper & flipped it upside down Have a new version in the works ... GT500 Shelby w/ a few options for hoods Yours is looking good ! Build ON ! Don Edited May 16, 2011 by Reliable Resin
northendmetalallstar Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 I'm loving this build. Can't wait to see the finished results!
brett Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 threw some paint in the direction of the stang today, came out like this no clear yet, might do the decals first in case I decide to add some more paint
Dr. Cranky Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 WOW, I'm loving the way these horses are turning out! Keep it going. Take your CRANKY VITAMINS and keep up the great work. These are not machines, they are BEASTS!
pharr7226 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Great work on both of these builds. The subtle flames on the mustang and the engine details are particularly nice. Keep it up.
brett Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Thanks guys, it means a lot, hope you can see enough, all decals are made from various web sources sized and printed by me, still have a few more to go, bit hard on the eyes trying to cut around them all
wolvyreen Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Is it just me or can anyone else not see these images?
W-409 Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I can see them, and they are looking real GOOD! I like the paintjobs, colors are great and I like those decals on them. Really great job so far, can't wait to see the finished products.
Clutch Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 G'day Brett, great to see you're still stooting out these Doorslammers. Paint jobs look really smooth and the decals suit each build well. Their gonna look great all lined up once finished, have you thought of using a spooky backdrop for the completed pics?
DiscoSpud Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Hey Guys, I'm still on this project. One is complete, another is 90% there and the other two are lost in the idea bank. Photos soon as soon as my darned XP computer co-operates!
Chuck Most Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Well, the first horse is a dud... but I've stumbled onto something else that might work. Stay tuned...
