Hey guys,

I know this thread is a while old, but i found a photo of something i want to build, and i think it fits in here. But i need some ideas for the cab, possible base models or sth, because i dont want to completely scratch it:

And i'm interested, if there is somebody who started a new project or has updates?...

[Jantrix]

i dont want to completely scratch it:

I think you are gonna be completely out luck for 99% of this. The cab looks like it might be from some old steam shovel or other construction machine. An engine might be possible, but the rest? Place a big order with Plastruct because you're gonna need it.

That looks pretty cool, it does kind of look like stagecoach or maybe a passenger train car , maybe an old O scale train car would be a good start? Glad to see something on here again.

[chunkypeanutbutter]

That looks like a rotary snowplow from a train, as well.

Almost looks like you could take a Tall T or a middle door T and make that cabin area. Doesnt Jimmy Flintstone make those bodies?

[Tom Geiger]

Armor up that cab and we could go chasing ISIS with that beast!

@Tom Geiger : Yeah for sure

@JTalmage : A Flintstone kit isnt a real posibility, because i´m located in Germany and the shipping would be outlandish...

I´ll look out for an old passenger train car....the plow is my biggest fear :/

We´ll see...

For the plow I would start with a soda can and start cutting and bending.

Jonas, Lindberg recently reissued their ancient tall T. It's a little small but that could work for this application. Maybe Those have been available local for you? Edited September 28, 2014 by Tom Geiger

It would also work on Doctor Cranky's Zombie Apocalypse community build page!

[Dr. Cranky]

David, I think you are right. That thing can be considered a Zombie shredder.

rather than link all the links, it's easier to go here: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2010/07/23/from-three-wheeled-trucks-to-model-t-tanks/?refer=news
