Bruce: Looking good, so far. Toast

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.

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!)

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!  Yeah

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

That's right, but Black Chrome is easy to clean! ( RIGHT!) I opted for the red leather interior, for obvious reasons:)

Alrighty, now.... I managed to get a bit of work done on the Caddy. Yeah

I've been debating for awhile now on what would be the best compromise between protection from the walkers and yet still allows teh use of weapons from inside the vehicle.  Well, I came up with .060 angle and .035 rod(rebar) on the rear passenger windows.

Here's a pic of the interior mounted on the chassis

I'll be adding tulle to the rear-side cargo windows to simutale fencing.

Comments encouraged & welcome!

The Caddy is looking good! Managed to get the custom interior done to my taste. The TVs are all in as well as the sound system. Now I can concentrate on my armor.

Bruce: please tell me your not serious....think of the weight issues on that chassis with the armor plate then the addition of the flamer.  Besides, it takes a shot to the head to kill the walker/biters.  I admit a man-portable flamethrower would be good to dispose of the bodies post-mortem.

Remember the premise behind this GB.....

Stephen_Social

Anyone interested in joining me on a "Civilian Zombie Outbreak Response Vehicle" group build? Taking inspiration from World War Z, The Zombie Survival Guide, The Walking Dead, anything that inspires you!

The basic premise would be as follows: (I don't like calling them rules)

What Can Be Used?

  • Build in any scale you please, but I'll be building in 1/25.
  • Any vehicle which a normal civilian would own or could readily obtain in the event of a zombie outbreak can be used. 
    • (I'm leaving this open because I know people could come up with some crazy stuff! I'd love to see a variety of vehicles ranging from cars & trucks to buses, bikes, semi-rigs, boats, even planes, etc.)

REALISM (As much as possible given the subject matter)

  • All vehicles should be modified in a fashion which an actual civilian could modify their own vehicle. (So no zombie killing death ray devices)
  • Kit-bashing artillery pieces onto your base vehicle isn't something your neighbor could do so don't add it to your model.
  • You CAN kit-bash weapons all you want, but make sure it's within the scope of conceivable realism.

Actually I'd think setting them on fire would be a good way to get rid of zombies! I can see weight issues plus the big problem is you probably don't want to be shooting napalm all over the road in front of you! Indifferent

Hmmmmmmmm ..... obviously must have missed that part. Well, she does have a Hemi. Allot of tanks didn't have that and they're real heavy. If this disqualifies me, then so be it, but I'm still going to burn the suckers. Because if you wanted realism, then why are we responding to ZOMBIES????!Indifferent

Well, since Stephen isn't running the GB anymore there's no one really enforcing the rules. So frankly Bruce you can pretty much do whatever you want!

No that doesn't matter, that Stephen isn't still running it. I abide by the rules and will not post any further on this build. I hadn't read the part you showed me. I thought it was a fun build. Sorry about that guys.

I'm sorry but I really need to say something on this,
He stated that no canons or so were allowed to be put on the cars because 'it wouldn't be like that in real life', I think that if you look at the cars that are beeing used as gun platforms in the wars at the moment, then there is more than enough proof that it wouldn't be so hard to get your hands on such things when everything is deserted and left behind...

want some 'real' proof?
 

Yes, that is a rocket pod from an aircraft on there...
And these guns are beeing used in such ways that when the car is wrecked, they just take the weapon and put it on a car that does work...

So, would it be possible?
With regards, Ninetalis.

Ninetails: I beg to differ, you should take minute and re-read Stephen's premise/requirements for the GB:  

"◦Kit-bashing artillery pieces onto your base vehicle isn't something your neighbor could do so don't add it to your model.

◦You CAN kit-bash weapons all you want, but make sure it's within the scope of conceivable realism."

What you've pictured is what is referred to as "Technicals" - they are quite popular in the Middle East and Africa since the Toyota Wars in the mid-80s.

Although those are great vehicles for fighting a guerilla-style hit & run war, they are the last weapons (except the 12.7mm MG on the Hillux) I'd use to fight a zombie apocalypse.  Besides, where the heck would I get ammo fir the helicopter rocket pod?!  I really doubt my local Costco or WalMart carry them! Huh?

Best regards....
