Strange Vehicle Builds
Posted by TheWildChild on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 9:15 PM

i was going through an old box of built models today, and came across an old semi i had forgotten about. this isnt your standard Pete 359 however. its armored with splinter camo and a rather scary bumper lol.

 

 

Strange subjects have always intrigued me. anybody else have any kits that have been built in "different" ways? if so lets see them.

It's very creative. I remember that years and years ago I bought a big truck model that I wanted to jazz up in a "Mad Max" mode with those kind of guards and bumpers, etc. Armor, you know--the works. I never did get to it; it got sold off in one of my "stash purges"

I often "break the mold" with my builds, and bop from one subject to the next. It keeps me on my toes with techniques, and stops me from getting bored. The biggest problem is the lack of space to keep everything I want to build!

The frame was a bash of barris "ricshaw". the woodwork is bamboo from a 50 chinese fan. The exhaust pipes were from the ricshaw kit

I'm on the verge of finally finishing a 1/24-scale tornado chase vehicle I've been building for years. (Sorry, no pictures.)

I built this off road cherry picker by kit bashing the Moebius Lost in Space charriot with a DG Productions bucket truck.

it may not be strange but it is a bit unusual

thanks
