2012 POST APOCALYPSE/ZOMBIE HUNTER COMMUNITY BUILD

[Dr. Cranky]

New to the Forum looking to get into this CBP have some ideas in my head after looking at these Zombie killers they are some great looking builds

Carl

Carl, Welcome to the Forum, and I hope you will join up and build one of these. Have fun and then some more.

[Dr. Cranky]

Rob, I would suggest you keep all these. Box them up and put them away. I learned long ago never to sell or give my builds away. I'm not being judgemental here it's just that you have a great collection I believe should stick together.

[ZombieHunter26]

I suppose perhaps storage is an option...

I have this feeling that I will have a model collection that resembles a museum by the time I am all done with building stuff decades from now! LOL

You gonna need a large, large room that's for sure.

[Dr. Cranky]

Here's some of Mr. Yost's progress. See if you can guess what the tank is made from.

[Brendan30]

I'd like to join this build if possible I have a few ideas and leftover bodies laying around. I just need tank tracks But don't want to purchase a full set for them, does anyone have pieces left over unused they are willing to part with?

[twistedrods]

Well Doc,it took a couple of months but it is finally ready. The all purpose Shooter and Stabber.I had a blast building it,but the real fun came when I weathered her.I started with real red dirt from Northern California and then went to a water and pastel chalk technique that I have used for a while.It is very similar to your salting method.Please feel free to comment about her so I can improve my methods,and become an even Madder Styrene Addict MUAHAHAHA .I hope you enjoy the pics.By the way Doc this will be on the way within a month.

I do hope he opened that when it was empty!

Mark, can you send me the finished pictures of this one so that I can add them to the next UPDATE video. Thanks, and you did a fantastic job on the finish. I like it a lot. Best, DC

I was thinking the same thing!

Good use of something we all have near our workbenches!

[Dr. Cranky]

The weathering on all these vehicles is very good. Keep up the great work and the eye candy rolling.

It's been some time since I made a post. I work out of town nowa day's so I don't really have time for anything. I've been slowly building while in my motel room after work. This is another one I just completed.

It's '40 Ford half track, borrowed from the Romell's Ride kit. Out-fitted with blades up front along with a spinning drum of spikes. A roof mounted gun with an escape hatch. So far, this half track is my favorite. Enjoy

[Dr. Cranky]

Kyle, nice build. Neal, thanks for sharing the t-shirts. Zombies are hot and they will soon be everywhere!

[Brendan30]

Dr. gave me the go ahead, so here we go! my build is the Kraft Killer:

[Brendan30]

I am looking for tank tracks for this if anyone has any spares laying around not being used I'd love 'em.

[Dr. Cranky]

Brendan, that's looking interesting. Tracks, that's a great idea.

[Butcher]

Here are a few more shot of the truck. I had to get them uploaded to my photobucket, so now I can post more. All the door's open, the gun swivels, stuffed another red rag in place of the missing gas cap. I added a skeleton arm hanging onto the driver side smoke stack, guess one of the zombies tried to get a free ride. Also hung a rib cage from the rear, try to deter any zombies coming from the rear.I tried to build this as a half track from WWII, that a group of survivors found during the zombie apocalypse Therese also a first aid kit, binoculars and a ammo case inside the cab.

Brendan, that's looking interesting. Tracks, that's a great idea.

sort of like a F1killer zombie crawler!

[ARTEMIS1759]

Finally, had to wait on a check from the VA. My cab and such is on its way from AITM. Get you an update when I recieve it.

[otherunicorn]

And here is one I prepared earlier!

And the tracked thing made a little progress:

[Dr. Cranky]

Ken, this last picture says it all about what a wonderful idea and build this is. I can't wait to see it with the tracks on. WOW. Wonderful imagination.

[ZombieHunter26]

So just to update, I ratted the willys. That build will be posted in under glass after work today.

My warlord still need a color paint over the rust paint... Suggestions?

Waste buggy needs paint PERIOD... It is still in primer. That happens when I cant make up my mind on a color scheme...

Also, working on detail elements for my next diorama.

I will eventually finish all my current projects... Before I start a new one...

...maybe.

[Dr. Cranky]

Looking forward to it, Rob.

Ken, I copied the pictures over to the next video UPDATE.
