Rick and Daryl, move over. Kenposan has the civilian zombie ride!
The was a fun project and it definitely tested some new skills.
The vehicle is a 2005 Caddy Escalade by AMT.
Here is a side shot:
I was initially going to paint it all black (because as we all know, the only color in a post apocalyptic world is black) but I was afraid it would look a bit boring. So I added the gray to give a nice two tone look.
I picked up some round plastic rods at my LHC and crafted the window grills. My first ever attempt at scratch building anything. They were frustrating to do but turned out nicely I think. Fortunately, "amatuer" is the look I was shooting for!
A front shot:
I was going to make the front 'zombie guard' out of the same round rods but when I started messing around with it I decided to use some square stuff I had in an assortment pack. I was easier. :-)
What you can't see in the pic is the blood splatter on the right front of the guard, headlight, and side panel.
The other side:
The CB antenna base is from the Dukes of Hazard Sheriff's car. I made a new antenna because the original was too thick.
Rear shot:
Very dirty. Car washes don't work after the zombie apocalypse.
An interior shot:
The CB is from the Sheriff's car. I made L brackets to 'mount' it to the dash board. It's a hack job but hey, zombies!!!
Another shot:
A side/top shot:
Got the trusty shotgun in the back seat. It came from the Sheriff's car too. And apparently we had a flat at some point, probably after hitting that zombie. Good thing we got some tools in the back:
The tools are leftover from my Alien NASCAR build. They're actually the wrong scale but close enough.
The crossbow was semi scratch built. The stock was from the Sheriff's car. It was all chrome and nasty so I stripped it. Underneath it had NO detail, perfect for a crossbow. Can't see it in the pic it does have a bow string. The camo didn't turn out as nice as I'd like but it's okay.
Thanks for viewing.
