1320wayne Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I found some reading material to add as interior detail on the Zombie Cruiser.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Wayne, those are great. I think I'm going to use them somewhere on the HHD diorama. Thanks.
Ryan S. Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Why look at all these wonderful people lurking and soaking up all the eye candy. I am wondering how tempted they are to jump in with a TZH Squad contribution: PlasticKit, LoneWolf14, Matt21726, Ryan S., Darren B, Danny Lectro, ronr! Let there be more RECRUITS! This in an order from General EYEGORE! Oh I'm in, I'm working and getting inspiration from the tread here at the same time! Hopefully I'll post some pictures later today on the progress, I did some painting yesterday.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Cool, Ryan. Yes, lots of inspiration to soak up here already.
otherunicorn Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Now for the scary question.... what will the Zombies be driving?
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 the car is almost done here is the pics of the car the tires are not done an the rims an the trailer is not done Oh boy, I really like that camo pattern. Great colors, great job. It's looking real good.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Greetings all you TZH Squad Members, the good news is the T-shirt will be available by February 13, and then they ca ship out that week. Thank all those of you who've reserved your T's. Be proud and you didn't care how you brought down all those Zombies. For those of you joining up now, here's what I am talking about: If you are interested, please send me a personal message.

blazefox Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Now for the scary question.... what will the Zombies be driving? I have aa game called saints row the third. In that game the zombies drive hearses and ambulances
Matt21726 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Heres a small upate on my dart. I added some armor to the rear and side windows i also added weld seams and some dents for a little added realisim. Sorry the dents are hard to see.I decided to go with a smaller tank. its something i built awile ago for a progect just like this. Also name for this ride still is in the works.

otherunicorn Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I havent had a chance to read the whole thread to see if this was suggested but some folks have been asking why old cars are always used for Apocolypse vehicles. Depending on the "trigger" event of the Apocolypse newer vehicle might not work due to magnetic fields, nuclear fallout, etc Also old school cars are easier to work on & repair on the fly. All you need to worry about is air, fuel, & fire not what code 42 is or why the car is stuck in "limp mode" Seems like a plausable explaination to me Daymn! Readin' this thread is a wealth hazzard. Today's build progress: (and I'm still in Australia)
sports850 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Does that mean you're going to convert it back to a mechanical distributer and couple of big holley carbs Ken ? Or fit it with a sub-nuclear polymorphic powerplant ? Looks like a nice start with a lot of potential (plus I like the shape of them ) . Got to do a little more to mine tonight (I keep getting random ideas about how to do things with it), scratch built 10 semi auto shotguns that will be sort of hidden under the roofracks when it's finished (Holly's obviously pissed off with those Zombies) , I told you it would be well armed ..

If you want to use metal in your build, I recommend .005" copper foil. It is great for shaping. By rubbing it with a ball shaped tool (even a coarse ball point pen can be used) you can get compound curves.
sports850 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Thank's , I'll see if I can find some , the aluminium sheet I have is a bit thicker , just that little bit hard to work with but I'm still experimenting
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Ian, that's looking good. You got some nice mesh there. Lots of new cool builds joining the CARAVAN!
rustymodeler Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 OK, I am in. Just to let everyone know, I dont have a camera that takes very good pictures. I will hopefully be sending mine to Cranky at the end of the build so he can do his photo shoot on the highway to hell. I am building a monster truck semi with a cargo box on the back, a push bar on the front and pretty much a gun every where you can imagine. I will try to send some pics from my phone, but you have to bear with me here, cause it doesnt take good pics either. I am super excited about this build and looking forward to working with all of you creative modelers. THANKS Jerred
UncleRonsBarn Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Shipyards and steel plants will be food for the imagineers to eat. I found an old dredging machine, tons of steel, and a few willing hands to construct a land based dreadnot for collecting and production of the things needed by those left, if this Zombie threat carries on or very long.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Jerred, welcome to the CARAVAN. Wishing you loads of fun with this build. Ron, speaking of fun, you are on a roll!
otherunicorn Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Thank's , I'll see if I can find some , the aluminium sheet I have is a bit thicker , just that little bit hard to work with but I'm still experimenting The entire body of this build is copper foil and copper wire. You can see the shaping I got on the rear guards. The flare is part of the same pieceof metal. Okay, this one is fairly rough for obvious reasons, but you get the ... AAAARGGGG a Zombie!!!!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Ken, that looks spectacular. You can't beat the read thing for creating great effects. The material has lots of great uses, and you really hit the nail on the head here. Very cool interior details too like those bottles. Thanks for sharing.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Oh-oh, Ken, now you are playing with fire. That looks like a Merc is about to get sic and Zombified!
