Hey peeps, new here.
Thought I'd start with some pics of this. Made it for my son a couple of xmas's ago. Scratch built around a diecast 1/18 mustang.

Hope you all like.

Cool subject and nicely done mate.

Very nice job on the beast. The armor plate edges look great, just like the real deal.

I love this car...almost like a next generation Road Warrior Ford! The detailing and the weathering look right on. Can you pull out the front and rear wheels more to the outside edge of the body? Maybe it's not possible because the overall wheel diameter is too large? Sorry, I can't tell. Just tryin' to help. :thumbsup

Wow! That's seriously awesome.

You ever think about making it into a kit??

lol 1st post but.....


Nicely done Hubby. (I'm his Seamstress Misses)

He spent so much time researching every angle of the car. Our Son loves the film and loves Cars. It's now in a plastic display on the shelves at side of PC desk. I love how happy Ste gets when he is model building or painting.
He has his Painting Desk in the livingroom and can end up painting til the early hours in the morning or dawn in some cases as he won't put something down until he happy it's a the right place to stop. (He's just building Rabbit Hutches at the moment but he will be back later to respond tho I did shout out the replys to him and he looked proper chuffed)

Now away with me to the costume section! lol to introduce myself.

Thanks for all the kind words peeps.
The miniguns were made from plastic rods(7 in a bundle, with the centre one sunk back) for the barrels, mounted onto the back ends of modified 40k ork shooters.
