2012 POST APOCALYPSE/ZOMBIE HUNTER COMMUNITY BUILD

[patami]

This one's been stripped back to the fiberglass.

This may be showing some sort of undercoat inside the panels, or their resin is a different color:

Thank you for the pics.

Zombie hunting tools. 1:18, but close enough! http://www.marauderi...t/Detail?no=363

Thanks for that link ... weapons are pretty scarce in 1/25. My Mouse Rod is rotting as I make a Browning M1719 machine gun.

I ventured out to Hobby Town today and ran across these 1/35th scale pick up kits. I don't remember the brand name, but they ran around $35 each. They were along the same lines as the photos that Agent G posted back on pg 92. I about fell over. They even come with a little Al Qaeda type gunner, too. I would have bought one, just for the hell of it and this build but I think I have plenty of time and maybe someone else might be interested in checking one out, too.

[Agent G]

That's Meng's new kit, a "technical" pickup. Cool stuff there. I really want to get one and do it up like the pics.

In reality, our own SF folks and PMC's use the stink out of these in Iraq and A-Stan.

I think it's to bad they aren't 1:24 or 1:25 scale myself.

[dylansimpson]

hey I also found a good weapon site. Its for legos but there pretty close scale and good detail. brickarms.com

a few mods and they look pretty good

[Agent G]

I think it's to bad they aren't 1:24 or 1:25 scale myself.

I do too, but the manufacturer targeted (pun intended) the armor building crowd. The military aspect of the kit, combined with massive amounts of accessories in the popular armor scale, made 1/35th scale a no brainer.

Someone's covered the zombie threat-

So I thought I'd cover the alien threat. (even though I -did- already cover the military threat, and the raider threat...)

Here's some primer pics of the alien fighter drones we might run into-

Bottom-

Front-

Rear-

Front angled-

Top-

Side-

This was built entirely out of scraps and cheap stuff. The dome is half of a quarter machine container!

The alien vehicle has elements of mechanical and organic structure- like the spine (made from an upside down 1/48 tank tread) and the random engine and enzo light assembly parts on the bottom of the chassis.

Old rotary tool bits and an old distributor cap make up the plasma cannon assembly.

This quick build is mainly to show what you can accomplish with a little imagination, and in between kits like I am.

Hope you like it!

[Dr. Cranky]

Rob, that is very cool.

Went and visited a mate this morning and picked up the gluebomb truck he had for me to use as the support vehicle for Holly's mini . Now to armour the truck and box to hold the mini (and detail the gun on the roof , ok , to fit it with a straight barrel and stop it looking like a toy and fit it into an armoured turret) and have some fun with it . The back of the truck will be an armoured box/workshop with hinge down rear door so the mini can board on the run like the original Italian Job for a faster escape from the Zombies out for revenge after there mates were devastated by the stealthy attack of the mini

Thanks. I'm giving that option a shot.

I'll Find out in a few days..

Stealthy Spike Get Her Spikes

The parts: Styrene sheet, sprue and arms from two toy diggers

Cool thing is the arms are movable enabling truly wicked zombie mutilation in many modes:

Cowcatcher

and Crusher! (to name only two)

Also the TZH Stealthy Spike crew find some awesome roof mountable weaponry that fell through a time warp ...

Nothing say says Die Zombies better than a good old Flak 38 (or parts of it anyway ... the business parts)

Cheers

Was finally able to get a little bench time this evening and got some more done to the Zombie Cruiser. Added bracing the drivers side window and working on the turret hatch detail as well.

Awesome job on the windows, good lines.

So many hours, so little change!

The Equestrian avengers now have their first weapon.

and the Nameless one has sort of taken on a Mad Max look.

Organizing those wheels was hard. Bits and pieces from all over the place. I hate those modern flashy wheels with low profile tires. Now it has some genuine 60's rims. Yes, I bought a 64 Fairlane for its rims. I had a lot of these rims back when they were orange and burgandy.

Looks like it could use a huge huud scoop

I'm thinking a gatling where the blower would sit.

It isn't the first time I've done that, but some mongrel stole my last one from the display case at the hobby shop I worked at.

[blazefox]

Kool that would be awsome

[Foxer]

It's Sunday morning and NO zombi progress.. oh no!

Maybe it time for me to make a confession ... I hate Zombies! No, not like you all want to kill them ... I flatly refuse to watch any Zombie movie or anything having to do with them.

Now, you all here have made me go against my convictions and I'm working on Mouse Rod Zombie Scout Car .. LOOKING for Zombies!!!!!!

So, I better show something ... been working on the Browning M1917 and It's starting to look like something. Some more tiny bits to all and it's just pusher together here. Also got a first primer coat on the mouse. Engine has been stripped of chrome and starting to come together. One turbo was attacked by the zombie-carpet monster. ((

So is it gonna have tracks r wheels or hover

[Hollywood Jim]

Very interesting Foxer !!!

I never watch zombie shows either. They are very stupid shows; like watching old 1950's double B movies.

[Dr. Cranky]

Excellent progress, everyone. I copied the pictures for the video archive.

Jim, check out THE WALKING DEAD on AMC and you might just appreciate a little Zombie drama!
