Stephen, if you wanna take the easier route, there are a couple of kits out there with firearms in them:
hope this helps....
p.s. I have an idea for an M925 5t truck, any chance military surplus (de-mil'd/no heavy weapons) vehicles would be allowed?

While i haven't made much progress on the car itself yet, I'm 8.5 hours in on this one 1/25 scale scratch-built M16. Take a look.

Thanks, sounds cool!
Although this is more for bigger game- like werewolves....
But I suppose you could use it on zombies- bit of overkill though!

GameraI like the idea and might be in if you willing to stretch things a little bit
Sure, it's a little outside of the scope of the original concept but for the sake of getting things moving I'm cool with it.
I updated the post with the new info (so it matches the GB post I put on the Scale Auto forums too). The build started yesterday and is running through February 2013. After this one I think it'd be fun to do a "Military Zombie Outbreak Response Vehicle" GB. Then your mini-gun would fit right in!
David_K I think it's a neat idea! I enjoy all things Zombie... I don't have a lot of scratchbuilding/customizing experience, but I would be very interested to see how this goes, and maybe if I got inspired I would join in?? Keep us posted!

That's fine! I've updated the post to match the thread I started on the Scale Auto Mag forum too. I don't expect a ton of responses, but this will be a fun project. I have no scratch building experience but that's the point in a group build, to push your skill levels and learn new techniques.
I'm starting small, by scratch building an M16 for the back of the car, next I'll build a shotgun, then a pistol, and so on. The whole time I'm just fine tuning my skills.
Hope you decide to join!

I've been reading a lot of Larry's Corriea's Monster Hunter Nation novels and picked up a Cadillac Escalde to build as an US Bureau of Monster Control vehicle- aka a black government SUV with a mini-gun mounted on top.
Not sure when I'd be able to jump in- got a pile of stuff on the plate right now and really shouldn't even volunteer here but this just sounds like a really cool idea.
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?
REALISM (As much as possible given the subject matter)
Time frame
Other Details
(Update: 10/8) I've updated the Group Build to make it a 6 month project. Truthfully I could care less, I just hope people build what makes them happy in a time frame which works for them. Please don't be discouraged by the build dates, if you want to get involved please jump in whenever!
The "Zombie Threat" is a timeless subject matter so for me this group build is more about the culture and less about sticking to a timeline. Have fun guys!
