moparmagiclives Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Finaly got a little progress on the "NUKES OF HAZZARD" Ive got the HEMI just about wrapped up but for the stacks and fan I've finished the interior. I know its a tad shinny but I dont have anything on hand to knock that down with. I've been using MM water paints to do all the washes. May have to looking into some flats if I do any more projects like this. I was talking to a frined of mine about the build and he was comenting that the first thing he would do would be to cut the hood open and bolt it down ( a few to many demo derbys) So out came the ball grinder TThis shows a little bit of the "battle damage" and rusting......probly due to sitting behind the barn for all those years... And finaly to the weapons, I had taken me a wile to think of something, but after a little scavaging, I made flame thrower heat shield out of a drive line cover off a nascar kit, and stole tha dark nights fender mounted full auto for the other side. I still need to make the cut out fender cover to mount on top of it to fill the hole when its retracted. I picked up some screen mesh to do some window panels, but I'm torn between that or steel panels, I just dont want to hide the body lines of the car itself.....I know I know, thats not the hunters spirit..lol, I would like to take a min to thank Dr. Cranky for puting this out here, Its the first time I've ever done a junker, and I'm having a ball doing it.

Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 LOL, Nukes of Hazzard. Love the name. The build is coming along! That engine looks FAN-tastic!
ZombieHunter26 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I have been working a lot on red hawk, trying to finish swamp runner, and scratchbuilding a body to fit around my enzo chassis(coulda sworn that kit had a body in it, but I have an excuse to apocalyptify it now...) but you guys are gonna have to wait for the eyecandy My glorious interwebz will be back on Friday so I will be rockin out a good chunk of photo posts after work The good doctor got a sneak peak at primer covered red hawk. Maybe if you ask nicely he will share his thoughts on it! Lol. Til next time.....
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks for all the energy, Rob. All I can say about the RED HAWK is that it's going to make those Zombies scramble for cover!
blazefox Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 i got a peterbuilt i kinda put together crapily can i make something with that
Ryan S. Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 As promised, here is a little update on what I am affectionatly dubbing "The Hangman", because sometimes you have to hang them zombies out to dry to get your message across! I'l let the pictures speak for them selves. I scratched up two side tanks. One for the "go-juice" and the other for hydration. As I imagine it, H2O would be in short supply after the apacolypse and it would be wise to keep a large supply hand. The trick is to not confuse the two. I've also started on the body armor as well. There's lots more to come where that is concerned. Thanks for looking!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Ryan, that's a great looking TZH in the making. Thanks for sharing it with us. I could see it on the range rustling up Zombies put out to pasture. LOL.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Here's some progress on the "Highway to Hell" road diorama . . . hope you like it.
customcreator Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 That highway is freakin incredible Cranky! Pure gold! I promised myself I would get down to the workshop tonight, and I hope I keep that promise. There is too much eye candy here for me to sit back and wait.....the time is NOW!
Terror Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 This topic can be a web site. great works folks.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Get to it, Jamie. Get some building done. Tell me about it, Terry. I sit here eating bags of pop corn and never get tired to seeing new stuff and getting inspired.
customcreator Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I guess I am just hesitant to get into it. Going to take it super slow seeing as I don't have a third of the building talent you guys do...lol
Hippie Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I'm back! sorry for the absence i've been working on some consigned builds, gota pay for all this brass some how. Anyways everyones looks apsulutly amazing allreay at 50 pages holy ######, this has only ben going on for 16 days!! While leting paint dry on the other builds i got some of the suspension done, the basic sturcture is there still need to add the shocks and there arms to the spindles but i ran out of bolts (agian) later all of the bolts will be filled treaded rod just can aford it yet, And i did a ton of work on the electronics, the wires a little big but i wanted you to relize that this is high voltage, the rest of the wireing on the car will be small in scale stuff. the side, and there's more on the bottom. thanks for looking and i apreciate your opions.
blazefox Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 workiin on front bumper of my semi. It was a tandem axel rear but i bobed it and am now workin on big push bar waiting to get my tanks and im throwing a stuart tank turret on the cab
UberDeath322 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Wow, just wow. I am with the doc on that bowl of popcorn. I love looking at all of this stuff, and you guys just keep it coming with amazing quality work and ingenuity. Keep it up!!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Erik, this build is just getting more and more beautiful! Great going. The scratch-built details you poured into the chassis and the suspension are springing (pun intended) to life. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing the eye candy with us.
Kit Basher Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Every convoy needs a tender to carry supplies, tools, and equipment. This one will be armed and armored, so let's call it the TENDERIZER!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Hugh, wait, my eyes just popped out of my skull. WOW! Those tanks are perfect, and so are the tires, and the whole truck. Just thinking about those tanks gets my imagination cranked up. What's in them? Zombie puree? LOL! Keep it going.
outlaw035 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 hugh...the TENDERIZER is gonna be kool.... Dr C the highway is look'n very hellish....lov'n it....
Dr. Cranky Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks, Neal, the CARAVAN is coming together nicely. Could you imagine if we were all allowed to build these machines in real life and then take them on the road. Gee, maybe that's how Mad Maxx got going.
PlasticKits Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Huh? What's going on in here? YIKES! You best be careful round here! Ya never know what can happen!!!!!! LOL LOL PK
PlasticKits Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 I guess I am just hesitant to get into it. Going to take it super slow seeing as I don't have a third of the building talent you guys do...lol Jamie this type of build is easy any mistakes IS THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE! And you can cover it with mud or whatever!! Have fun with it and try something new!!!! PK
Agent G Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Normally I haven't much bench time during the work week, but I took a minute to mock this up. Here's the basics for my recon truck.
