I think the painting part of this build will proof to be the most difficult, and probably will not reach the standard of the inspiration pics...

I have a collection of tubes which I use for axels, here I used balloon and lollipop sticks. I bend, and glue/melt together, the sticks with a lighter. Used some ball-point-pen-springs as suspension and added weaponry. I thought on a ride like this an extra fuel tank would be needed. Added dinosaur bones as exhaust pipes on the front. The hatch still opens.

Now on to the painting. This, I suspect, will take longer then the build... And Tinker...tanx again for posting the inspirational pictures ! Edited by Bobscene, Apr 5 2018, 07:43 PM.

If you see a fast cloud approaching camp, hold your fire until the dust has settled, it might be me in my new ride ! And thanks Tinker, sorry there was no room for some of your 'Rat on a stick' advertising. As to be expected I had some trouble painting the yellow over the black primer. Should have primed it grey, force of habit. Or...next time I 'm 'in town' buy some really good yellow paint. Cause like this I had to cover the yellow spot a dozen times (and then ruined the yellow again it by weathering it…). And here it is, finally painted, I am content, even with the paint-job ! It was a fast and fun little project to do. I even tried to copy the colors of the inspirational pic, a bit. Found some old left over Revell decals, think they belonged to a Spitfire (my favorite WW 2 planes). The hull of the plane I forgot witch type, an American plane probably , WW 2, maybe Hurricane ? It was a very cheap model plane (total only 9 parts or so to assemble) the wings I used on my 'Orkish flyer'. I left the rotor on it, can come in handy to maw down Zombies ! Ciao !

I have one of those cheap kits, it's supposed to be a Mustang but the model makers got some bits wrong so it looks kind of like a mustang. WW2 are a firm favourite of mine, I made hundreds of kits as a kid.

Super Mutant Posts: 337 Group: Members Member #884 Joined: Jul 5, 2017	Yeah for me also, these model planes are pure nostalgia. Did not make as many as hundreds, maybe 5 or so. Started out with small models such as fighter planes but when it came to more complex builds such as bombers (B-52 !) I did not have the courage to finish them. to many fiddly parts, a bit boring these plans that tell you what to do. My parents did have a couple of foto books on the 2eWW. Terrible, horrible foto's next to beautiful things (I loved propaganda posters) very confusing as a kid. So the model planes where played with also (I had a lot of Airfix small soldiers, 1/75 ?) so after a while they got damaged (not supposed to play with them) so then I melted them and played with them as crashed planes. Made diorama's for them, a shoebox cut as a ruin, glued moss and earth with all the little bugs still living in them on a cardboard and put the whole thing, ant nest and all, under my bed, freaked my mother out. A daylight picture, some close-up of the 'skeleton exhaust pipes'.

Before I started getting into tanks and dioramas, I started making bitza model aircraft with bits from all kinds of aircraft. So the junk builder was born. The vehicle is looking good. The pipes are great.
