Re: 1/18 Custom Resistance Guntruck (new pics 14 Aug 11)

Thanks guys. Just realized as I neared completion of this projec... Damn! Forgot the quad .50 seat is too small to seat many Joe or other 1/18 figures! So modifying the quad .50; extending the rear section so gunner can sit in it. May use opportunity to make some other additions and mods to the quad...

Re: 1/18 Custom Resistance Guntruck (new pics 14 Aug 11)

Hopefully picture quality is better. Used Krylon grey primer for the whole vehicle. Olive drab for the truck. Still deciding on which way to go with the armor plating (paint color). Hopefully the initial paint job will provide better picture of the vehicle. Once painted have to weather and add damag...

Another Resistance Vehicle: M113 APC WIP

Resistance fighters salvaged several APC's from reserve base and museum. Modernized to and outfitted with heavy firepower. Not to much to the custom. Reworked the top hatch where the 50 would go. Placed a ground-to-ground missile launcher on top. Filled the holes left behind from the molded supplies...

Re: 1/18 Custom Resistance Guntruck (pics placed in thread)

Pickelhaube I was actually going to add 2 launchers on each side but held off and left it as it was. But made them detachable. I'm actually almost done with this Guntruck. Added storage compartments to undercarriage. Finished adding armor plating to the front and rear sections of the truck. Going to...

Re: The 40" TOVREX-S Ground Based Destroyer!! 2 Years WIP!!

Yeah this has taken long time. I'm still hoping to have this completed by next May making this a 3 year project. It's taking Longer than expected. No sculpting or molded parts (which I think would result in better turnaround time for this model or any). I did some basic work with external details. B...

Re: The 40" TOVREX-S Ground Based Destroyer!! 2 Years WIP!!

Thanks Aferg!! Actually I had given thought to the concept of changing camo patterns. I am looking at using the paint scheme pickelhaub suggested or blend of for basic appearance.

Re: The 40" TOVREX-S Ground Destroyer!! 2 Years WIP!! New Pi

Here are a couple updated pics of TOVREX-S. This shows the extended blast panels on bridge front. Supposed to add another layer of protection to the drivers. I need to do some work to remove the bland appearance. Opinions: Leave the panels on or take them off? Shows manned gun station atop the rear ...

Re: The 40" TOVREX-S Ground Based Destroyer!! 2 Years WIP!!

pickelhaube, That's pretty much what it is. It's not the primary weapon system on the field. But when it is called in to engage human resistance or regular military; this destroyer packs a lot of firepower and carries 20 to 40 troops dependent upon the mission. It is an alien creation. And thank you...

The 40" TOVREX-S Ground Based Destroyer!! 2 Years WIP!!

I had mentioned this project a lot but hesitant to post pics. Mainly because after starting in 2009, I am still far from completion. Although sci-fi genre, this model I placed a lot of work into and hope y'all will appreciate the work. It's one my largest ground based combat vehicles. Each step has ...

Re: 1/18 Custom Guntruck (Southern Resistance)

Thanks guys!! The rockets mounted atop the quad .50 was a last minute decision to add additional armor punch.

The styrene was used in combo with steel plated patterned sheet plastic. It will look good when all said and done. Nice part about the rockets is they detach :)

Keep comments coming.
