Bruce: Nice work there!

Greg: Cool! The cow catcher sounds awesome. And remember the fuzzy dice to hang from the mirror!

Cliff

Brruce: Looks great....it that Polly Scale's Oxide red on the body of the 300C?

UPDATE: I managed to find Italeri's "Truck Shop accessories" set!  

I'll be modifying the bumper guard/cow catcher for the front of my Escalade.  It'll also give me other parts to use.

OK. First order is in and she's on the assembly line. Basic 300C body.

Comes with 6.1 Litre Hemi and standard disk brales..

Here's the trunk with room to spare for your sound system, Thompson machine gun and other essentials.

Standard Camo 20" wheels or the optional Black CHROME.

Lets not forget the real leather interior. ( Also comes in RED!)

That sounds great! Looking forward to seeing it!

Bruce: Looking good, so far.

I've finally installed the dash on my Caddy.  Now I need to get the weapons(AR-15, .357, etc.) and other cargo(MREs, gas cans, lantern, coolers, etc) painted and installed.  After that, I'll work on the anti-Zombie protection for the windows (rebar/angle iron or fencing?) and get the body painted.

You think that's funny ..... Here's our basic unit.

You can Customize it any way you want. All the buttons and wistles you can imagine! One inch armor plates, welded to high specs in strategic places to give you the ultimate protection, while also affording you the Ultimate luxury of fine leather seats; HD TV sets; Dolby 7.1 surround sound with high def Subwoofers. Yes, you Zombies will take a second look at you as you drive them down!

Bruce: Love your advertisement for the 300C!  Too funny....

Even my Domestic Goddess liked it.

let me know of the next GB as I love zombies and since there is not enough time for me to get in on this one.

For the discerning Zombie Hunter, may I recommend the Chrysler 300 C Hemi SRT8 for your Hunting Luxury.

We have taken all the drudgery out of Zombie Hunting for that Ultimate Response Vehicle. Tinted glass, to cut down on glare off their lifeless eyes; TV screens, when hunting is slow; Oversizes wheels to cut down on those terrible Thumps; Custom interior, so you may hunt in style; Scissor doors, to move that armor plating out of the way fast; Amplifier and subwoofer to drown out those whales and gun fire. Not to mention...... a Hemi, to get you there and out of there in record time

Cool beans! I'll have some pics soon.

Our group build creator is MIA so I made a group build logo. It was quick and dirty. Like the zombie apocalypse.

Bruce: I believe this is the GB logo.....

How's the Chrysler 300 coming?

Have you come up with a Group Build Logo yet??

Thank you, Gamera!  It's MM/ACRYL Mahogany Flight deck

Cool Greg! Nice wood grain/leather  look on the console and steering wheel.  

And now for today's update:

I managed to get most of the interior assembled.... 

Here's the dashboard - still needs the CB radio and the instrument panel installed...

Here's a few update pics:

LMAO...I forgot to add the pics to this post!

Here's the pics I was supposed to add

The wheels were de-chromed and sprayed in semi-gloss black.... 

The liftgate.....

Pre-assembled interior....

Don't know how I missed this one either!  Got to try it. Have a Candidate also...Chrysler 300:) Now there's a Safer way to hunt Zombies:)

I like the guard on the Governor's Ford.  A bit complex for me at the moment. Good luck, it'll look great.

Ken: I luv the EXT!  Nice work on all the little extras.  Kudos for the modified crossbow- I never would have thought of doing that!

Hopefully, I'll get mine finished this weekend or next.  I'm just finishing up the interior....complete with MRE boxes....and an axe.  Trying to figure out how to scratchbuild a front bumperguard like the one on the Governor's Ford Excursion

I like her Ken!!! Nice work on the protection and I love the dusty look!

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.

Gamera: Thank you for your input...but I've decided against the moon roof.

Here's a few update pics:

Nice work! I guess you could pop out the moon roof to shoot, just don't let 'em climb though it!

Lol, cool video!

Okay, so I'm currently working on putting a bits on the Caddy while watching HELL IS FOR HEROES on the Military Channel.  I need to decide on whether to put a moon roof over the back seat....anyone wish to opine?!  Anyone....anyone.....Bueller...Bueller.....

Greetings....

here's a few pics of my zombie caddy....

the undercarriage minus the brakes (waiting to de-chrome), shocks (waiting for paint) and exhaust tips

 the interior sides base coated in primer grey- still need to paint the details

 floor pan, roof accent and steering column & wheel pre-painted with Tamiya panzer grey.  I have a can of MM fabric black, I may use it for the floor of the cargo area.  I still need to fill the two slits in the rear floor.

Interesting no nonsense how-to video on building your zombie survival vehicle even talks weapons

priming is done and interior has it's initial paint. Still trying to decide on exterior color. I was going to go with flat black but I debating gray (like the hyundai above) instead. I'm thinking it may show more detail that could get lost in the black. I'm keeping the whole thing pretty subtle and 'realistic', so no major changes to the body.

Ken: Yeah, I'd love to see how your car comes out!

I'm going to try to finish some stuff off and get started on my SUV sometime around spring.

Cliff

Life gets in the way of fun sometimes, so maybe he's just busy (holidays and all).

I plan to finish out my build regardless; it was something I was toying with anyway.
