That's pretty awesome. Is that the ODST helm from the avatar halo series? I wish the McF ones had articulation like that.
Lotus, The Dutch figs weren't terrible. The Rookie figs exploded like hand grenades out of the package. All of them have very weak wrists. The original ODST figs...
Sorry guys. I havent got to work on this thing in a few days. Started the doors last night. Hopefully get some more done laster today so I can put up some more pics.
Updating the build. It's coming along. Had a few things set me back in real life so I am not where I would like to be with this yet. I got new wheels, added storage underneath, built up rear steps, and started the roof.
Stay tuned....
Hi HJ,
I am using scissors to cut the larger pieces out and then go in with a xacto knife for the finer stuff. I am using .060" thick styrene. I am using Testors model glue to hold all together. There are also a few Legos in there to hold right angles and vertical surfaces...
OK...here they are....its still needing TONS of work....Damn do I need to find new wheels....anyone casting wheels? I wish I could find the Jada Warthog Wheels, they are awesome!!!!!
Back to work....
I'm back again right into my next project....a scratch built 6 wheeled MRAP! So far I have the drivers cabin and the basic shape worked out.
Does anybody have any decent wheel ideas? The IFV wheels would be awesome but I do not have a spare one.
I am scratch building this bad boy...
Here are the finished pictures. I am no photographer nor do I have anythng other than my camera on my phone so bear with me....
This last one is a blurry start to the cockpit of my 6 wheel MRAP.
Thanks for looking!!!
Yes HJ, it is styrene except for the Joe parts(vamp lower body).
I am going to have to go with the APC Wheels. I havent foudn anythign else that works for the moment. Maybe later on I will find something better and just swap them out.
Ok, need some advice:
I yanked the wheels off of a GI Joe APC and mocked them up on the truck. Are these any better or should I keep looking? I dont like the oversized John Deere Tractor wheels folks have put on this truck before so Im looking for something a little more "tame"?
I have been looking for nicer wheels/tires for this....so far nothing I liked. It is actually jacked up using styrene and some inspiration form Digler with Legos.
Here's an update:
Lots more work to do....
Hello fellow fighters!
I have been working on this for awhile. It sat on my bench for awhile and then things got ugly at home so it sat more. Now that I can have some time to myself I can do this. I took the POC Vamp and removed everything. Then using styrene, I started building up a...
I used to work on -53's back in the day so I know them pretty well. It would take a HELL of a lot of work. I dont have great cutomizing kung fu but I will give it a shot.
BTW, that custom above is the tits. Mucho badass!
K-Tiger, that custom is pretty nice. I was thinking heavier mods though.
I have to finish up my "Vamp-to-MRAP" truck first. Then comes the helo!
After that, maybe modding/repainting my Sigma-Six Dragonhawk to be usefull for 4" figs.
