Hollywood Jim Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks mikey ! I just purchased some So Real Concept tires and wheels. The price was reasonable.
wgflatliner Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I had a weird dream that I got to meet cranky face to face. I was in a parking lot and he showed up in one of the post apoc vehicles.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Jim, I know, I KNOW YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HELP IT! I know you will build something for this new TZH Caravan, there's plenty of time. I am delighted to see you around here, my friend! Cheers, DC

Dr. Cranky Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Keep the eye candy coming, folks. I think this thread is going to break all sorts of records, or at least that's what EYEGORE says! LOL!

customcreator Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Still kicking around some ideas, and not to offend anyone here, trying to think in total opposites from all of you guys. So far it's gotten me more confused, but I don't want to just stick some guns on it and call it a day......I'll let you know when the lighting bolt strikes. And again, no offense at ALL intended to anyone here, as I think these builds are so great so far!
Tony T Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Coming along nicely everyone! Here's what I am starting with at this point. Haven't moved it to the front of the bench yet..."Galaxium"! Edited January 16, 2012 by Tony T
ZombieHunter26 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I'm a little behind on taking pictures... In fact I've already assembled the Dodge L700 to my liking and started adding extra bits/ removing panels. I build weird. I assemble sections, paint, give rustcoat where needed, THEN do subsequent assemblies and modifications... So I have a fully built stock truck sans sideview mirrors and tail lights, painted, waiting for me to attach more parts. I've worked all weekend so far, and then I build a little bit when i get home and watch a few episodes of LOST on dvd with the wife... on my next day off I will devote some time to pictures. On a related note, I found some interesting parts the other day at the thrift store, and 4 dollars later I had a bag full of toy trucks and industrial equipment. Should be interesting to see how I can use these pieces. It's off to work again today, I'll be back again late tonight. Edited January 16, 2012 by ZombieHunter26

Dr. Cranky Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Wow, you guys have a lot of great projects underway. Amazing inspiration. Chuck, that gun is wonderful. Keep the eye candy coming, it's all good. ENERGY LEVEL: VERY HIGH!!!
moparmagiclives Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I got a chance this weekend to add a little color to my entry, I've never done anything like this, so it s a big learning curve. I wanted it to be more "grungy" then "rusty" So I used the salt method with alot of black was and I used some rootbeer transparent Auto air and a burnt colored Auto air. Having 99% of the suspension molded into the frame makes for a pretty fast build, so I started with these parts first And I did the firewall to match the fenderwells. . I'm going to do the hemi that came with the kit, I'm not sure where I'm going with the body yet as far as amor and such, I meen..., whos the hunter and whos the hunted right ??? For some reason I can picture a couple average joes, getting the bug and WHAMM...welcome to zombie ville...but why cant they still be hotrodders ?!? !!!
Jantrix Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks mikey ! I just purchased some So Real Concept tires and wheels. The price was reasonable. I'm at the site now and for some reason can't see the tire/wheel sets.
mikey Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I'm at the site now and for some reason can't see the tire/wheel sets. I bought mine at a show a couple of years ago.I do know that i've seen them on EBAY.I've also seen on EBAY where you have to buy a truck and it comes with a ex tra pair of wheels.Here is a place that has the trucks and tires. http://stores.ebay.com/Trevors-Toy-Box/So-Real-1-24-Die-Cast-Trucks-/_i.html?_fsub=3155003&_sid=279241954&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322 Edited January 16, 2012 by mikey
Agent G Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Here's where I'm at photo wise. The add on armor as it sits today. The back windows will be hatches hinged to drop down. I'm going to use the kit windows, and fashion hinges. The engine. G
blazefox Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 boy mine is gonna lookso amature compared to all ur guys
customcreator Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) boy mine is gonna lookso amature compared to all ur guys Don't worry. I haven't built a model car in over 25 years......literally.....that would mean 10 year old CustomCreator was making a glue bomb and painting it with brushes....so don't feel too "amature" Edited January 16, 2012 by customcreator
Dirkpitt289 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I gotta say this thread has really taken off in a short amount of time. Lots and lots of fun stuff going on here. I've been thinking if there is anything I could bring to the table but nothing has come to mind yet. That said I keep coming everyday and checking out the current builds.
