Road War Buick WIP

Howdy Baronvonboot,

 Nice work so far...at first I thought this was something out of 'Death Race' or something {I apologise for my faux paus}, but still like what you are doing : - )

I have always been a BIG fan of anything Road Warrior-esque so your Buick fits right in...guess I'll have to check out this "Road Wars" thing you refer to..........

Keep up the good work, and try to expand more on your 'how-to' as much as your 'how did' posts...they are a help to all, right? ; - )

Semper Fi

Tread. 

That was just a name i called the wip . The idea came from a book i read from Allan Dean Foster . It was a short story of his from Friends Like These . Also movies like Death Race helped too .

I have since added the armor to the wheels . I had to shorten the wheels to allow them to fit . Also worked on some roll bars and some small details inside . A control panel for the weapons on the steering wheel and some shifters . Not sure if its 100% right for the car , but it looks good .

Trying out the salt thingy on this model . I airbrused a red brown color and salted everything . Then using rattle cans i sprayed the body a coral blue . I plan to weather this after removing the salt . The bottom i used light earth , only dark color i had . I plan to weather this also . The chrome parts were sprayed with chrome . The rest is just a grey primer . The inside i am still thinking on how to paint . Might add some sort of carpet like item to the roof and floor . The seats i might go with a white/blue/black look to them . Here is a pic so far of what i did . This is something i was just doing so i could resist painting my Stug III too ealry for the primer to set .

Kewel!  I like the work you put in to this so far.  Definitely has a sort of Road Warrior/Death Race feel to it.  Makes me think of the old RPG Car Wars.
