Stealthy Spike Get Her Spikes

The parts: Styrene sheet, sprue and arms from two toy diggers

Cool thing is the arms are movable enabling truly wicked zombie mutilation in many modes:

and Crusher! (to name only two)

Also the TZH Stealthy Spike crew find some awesome roof mountable weaponry that fell through a time warp ...

Nothing say says Die Zombies better than a good old Flak 38 (or parts of it anyway ... the business parts)

Cheers

I LOVE THE SPIKES VERY COOL

I do too. Justin, this is a great addition to that model. Keep the eye candy rolling, folks. It's Sunday and it's time to Zombify more of these vehicles.

Cheers, DC

Well it took some time but I finished this one. I added some markings, C Company, 3rd Marine Brigade (Provisional) Scout Truck #54.

Those old enough to remember Car 54 will understand. ;)

Enjoy and cheers, best, DC

Finally some progress on the Tenderizer. The start of the fenders and bumper. Had to put a winch on there in case I have to pull some of you hot rods out of the ditch! :D

CHOW TIME!!!

Here's my tiny progress on the Chuck Wagon. Found this great 4x4 for $4 at Target:

http://www.newbright.com/product/view/id/170 (this is a different color, but same truck)

Gutted the thing for it's tires and pushbar. Then started looking at the "chassis" and noticed it had a small trailer hitch. Threw my soon to be wood grill on top to see what it looked like. I think it still sits a bit high for this scale, but I can sink the bottom of the barrel into the body more.

You can't copy something you haven't seen before. :) There's a bunch of big tire big rigs in this thread, all different in some way. I think that is cool, can't wait to see yours.

Jamie, I'm hungry, throw me a burger on there, would ya? Seriously, that's looking cool.

Good camo. I just love that heavy metalwork with the plates and the bolts. The window hatches are ... uhm ... to DIE for!

Neat cuts. What do you use to cut your styrene? Is the front bumper 3 sheets or one thick sheet?

With the help of my buddy JD, I took some primer pics of the diorama I made for the Europan alien attack drone.

He did well to hold it still and not drop it- I'd have been in poor spirits if I'd have had to re-cast the entire base from plaster again, let alone rebuild everything. So he made a great assistant, so far.

Anywho, to give you an idea of where it's headed after the primer stage-

It's an old fuel depot that was abandoned in the middle of the desert, and converted for use as living quarters. It's matchbox scale, I have an old burned out porsche 911 husk waiting to be put in after flocking and details paints. Tumbleweeds, sawgrass, sand, rocks, and possibly some people will be in the future of this dio.

I pretty much got bored and decided my leftover plaster mix and corrugate styrene had been sitting in my toolbox for too long.

here's the primer pics!

Thanks. I don't use anything fancy, knife, straight edge, square, razor saw, miter box, balsa stripper. The front bumper is one sheet with square tubing glued on the back.

Here's what I've been working on for the last hour or so.

4 the life of me i cant figur out how 2 post pix up here proper :)

The way we do it is to use an external site such as http://www.fotki.com/ . Once our image is uploaded there, we click on it's "share" option to get the link. We then click on the image button on the second row of the forum editor box (sort of looks like a polaroid photo or a small TV). We past the link into that, and hey presto, a properly presented image!
