All right, my friend, not a problem.

Update on the Kraft Killer, here we go:

Really enjoying this build, creativity is all over the board.

[Foxer]

The imagination in here is THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!

[Kit Basher]

While we're on the subject of tanks (of various kinds), the brackets are done, and the tank just needs some bodywork.

[Kit Basher]

I'm just getting started on the crane. After I get that done, it's hose reels, welder, tool boxes, etc.

And then some arms and armor!

Hugh:

Looking great !!

However, your gonna need a lot of fuel for that. In the caravan, your going to have to follow behind that tanker. LOL

[Dr. Cranky]

Hugh and Brendan, great progress pictures, I copied them over for the next TZH SQUAD VIDEO UPDATE.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks, Jim. That tank in the bed is gonna be full of diesel. Hopefully I'll even have a little bit to share!

Excellent work, Carl. I've copied the pictures for the new VIDEO UPDATE. Thanks.

[Dr. Cranky]

All right folks, here's the new UPDATE VIDEO. Enjoy, and by now you know the routine. Those of you who did not get into this video, will get on the next. Just keep posting your progress pictures.

[Jstorm]

I cant wait for this weekend when I can fianlly jump back on my rig and hopefully make some serious headway on it. Everyones build are looking great, I look forward to seeing more.

[Brendan30]

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

Rob this guy is having the same problem!

Here's something Danno posted over in the GENERAL section of the forum, and I share it with you here:

Haha! My home is going to eventually look like the set of a mad max movie, I just know it.

[Dr. Cranky]

Yes, yes, you will need lots of space by the time you turn 50, like another building. LOL.

[ZombieHunter26]

I'll have to get a detached garage, and turn it into my very own personal 'model museum'... chronicling my models from first to (at some point) last....

Speaking of models, I was recently commissioned by local band Primo Noctis to build/photograph/digitally edit their first EP's album cover. So far, I've built, painted, and now detail painting the throne and floor base for it...

Once I get a free moment after work, I will post a thread in 'Other Models' to chronicle THAT build progress

...who knows? Maybe this will be the first of many commissioned works for me. I'd love to get paid to do something I absolutely love

[Dr. Cranky]

Congrats on the commissioned build, buddy. Look forward to seeing it.

[Foxer]

It doesn't look big, but this update feels GOOD to me! I've been stuck on a protective roof and finally something I like came to be. It'll be covered with some kind of mesh. The engine has been keeping me busy .. it's a real finicky build. Kept having to wait for glue to dry for stability before proceeding to next step. There was too much adjusting needed to use super-glue all the way. The gun mount is done and the steering shaft fitted as can be seen in photos. Still in mockup mode, but the roof IS glued down! It does look like the air scoop will need shortening to clear the roof ... just how this would have evolved out of the scrap pile.

Nice work, Mike! I was wondering what happened to your build

Can't wait to see this thing on some wheels. What were you planning on for your tire work?

[Foxer]

The wheels are going to be what I had posted before from the Scorpian. They're not off road but are big and this is just a light scout car so hopefully won't look out of place. The rims look "mechanical" enough for this also ..

a quick reminder...

Hopefully can get more done .. while cutting the air scoop shorter my thumb intercepted the knife.. ehehe Of COURSE I know to never move the blade TOWARD the body!!
