hotrodblder Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) How can i get some scale barbed wire Hey Fox Barbed wire it 2 main strands w/ the bard wrapped around both strands every so often w/ the points on opposite sides of the wrap. I would just use craft wire and make it. Edited February 20, 2012 by hotrodblder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Lots of great stuff. Chris, that looks great. Keep it going. You can make barbed wire by coiling to strands of wire, then coil another wire every inch or so and then cut to size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Lectro Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The weapons system will be built on a rusty, cobbled diamond plate flatbed mounted behind the cab and will include the alien fusion reactor and main weapon turret AND all the earthly technology that has to be cobbled together to make them functional... Things like the diesel generator, the particle separator coming off the reactor, the pre-turret particle condensor, the power amplifer between the turret and generator and the cooling systems and pumps required to keep everything from melting down, going critical and turning the truck and crew into charred, smoldering, foul smelling tidbits scattered around a large crater... I like your work on the truck, but I have to say the above description is absolutely brilliant. It sounds kind of like something Doctor Who would say really fast.

hotrodblder Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 OK, I hate to say it, but I had 8 long hours to think about it at that dreaded place called work today. As much as I am getting into my 'Bad Karma' build, I am going to have to but it on the back burner for a while since we have awhile before the deadline. I have another build that I need to get finished before an Apr. 7th contest and I have a lot of stuff to scratch build for it yet. I'll keep in touch and will be checking in on everyone's progress. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
