Zarana-X Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Those came out really good. I like the "lawn mower". Good for anti-personell, or clearing traps. Teh armored car is nice, the only thing that gives it away as a toy is the gun still looks a little plain.
Jantrix Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 This is sitting outside my local Shooter's World. Guessing from the wheelbase, it looks like it's built on a armored truck chassis. It is not just for show. The sides are 5/8" plate steel. The round things on the side below the windows open from the inside only and are meant to have weapons fired through it. Lots of lights. It's for sale if anyone's interested. Only $120,000.
otherunicorn Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 These show the sort of wheelbase you need for heavy armor. Most of the armored zombie hunters here would collapse under their own weight!
Zarana-X Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 I guess my Destroyer II is wrapped up. Could use some more weatehring, but looks like it just needs a wash as-is. I took some side by side photos with the first Destroyer, and it kinda makes the weathing on that one look bad.
Zarana-X Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 wow, two of them! The British racing green one, I originally bought at a LHS when I was probably 13. I restored it about 3 years ago, and found some suitable decals last year. The olive drab one I got off ebay last year with Christmas monies. New in box from China.
Agent G Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I built this awhile ago for another GB on an armor forum and thought you all might want a glimpse. It's an after the fall/post apocalypse/new world type of build. I used a 1/35th scale Hobby Boss armored car, added all the additional armor, and scratched the radar dish and mount. The desert camo fit into my plan for a wasteland scenario. UANA stands for Utah Arizona Nevada Alliance. Here it is prior to paint. Everything that's not gray plastic is something I added or built. G
TimberWolf429 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 These show the sort of wheelbase you need for heavy armor. Most of the armored zombie hunters here would collapse under their own weight! not exactly, the vehicles based off of a heavy road truck, like the Petes have frames that are capable of withstanding well over 100,000 lbs, but, the tires, unless you wish to place more axles under the vehicle to spread the weight more evenly among the tires as many heavy haulers do, you may blow out a few of the tires.
Zarana-X Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 That's a very nice armoured car, Wayne. It's stuff like this why I'm still hanging on to all my 1/35 armor junk and accesories. It should be compatible with a 1/32 car without too much fuss, but its way off for 1/24-1/25 for my taste... Currently, all I have 1/32 is 3 different funny cars, which I'm not sure how that would work out . I used to have an awesome mid 70's Trans Am, I think it was a Monogram. had opening hood, rubber tires and such. One of the best 1/32 cars I can recall. I still have the wheels.
Dr. Cranky Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 Wow, more recent beautiful work. Again, thank you for sharing it and keeping this thread going.
sipari Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Managed to take photos outside today. Hopefully tomorrow too. Sticker says that it's an BMW. I wouldn't know. An other fun project. Very few parts. Built some interior from card board. More practice with salt tehcnique. Here is link for tutorial. https://plus.google.com/photos/103077063313041825061/albums/5907200418668547377?banner=pwa
sipari Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Fortunately good weather today also. Was able to take more photos. I'm calling this Greenline since i have no idea (again) what car this is. Tried sponge and brush technique this time. Not so pleased with result. But it could be worse. Next project, i'll try AK-products or hair spray. Have not decided yet. https://plus.google.com/photos/103077063313041825061/albums/5907501905778720817?banner=pwa
Jantrix Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Cranky swears by the AK stuff. I haven't tried it yet though.
sipari Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 My current project. It's going to be vintage style zombie hunter.
62rebel Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 the mini-suv you have there looks like a Matra Rancho. reasonably successful "soft-roader" in the UK and Europe.
Zarana-X Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Nice work. You've been the only one poswting anything lately, too. I'm pretty sure that BMW isnt a BMW. Looks like some ham-fisted mashup of a Ferrari, Coba, and a Mercedes. Before you modified it, I mean... Edited August 12, 2013 by Zarana-X
Dr. Cranky Posted August 19, 2013 Author Posted August 19, 2013 Pasini, good work. I'm a big fan of your builds.
Roadkill84 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Hey guys I'm new on here and making my first apocolyse car . I must say all the work on her is awesome . If its ok with you all I'd like to show you all some of what I've done so far . I'm working on a Tamiya 1:24 scale Nissan skyline . I don't think it's to your level of work though
