Re: Ryuzo Hero of the Post Apocalypse (9/28/10)

Squash, Sparky, and Sharky [/u] Buzz Saw Bikes were my favorite custom. Then came the Tank Wheelchair. My new favorite custom is Squash, Sparky, and Sharky. Again, I'm killing myself for not having taken pictures of the latest stage of progress for Squash, Sparky, and Sharky. Squash is one of the t...

Toomucho (a.k.a. Too Much) [/u] I consider Toomucho as the quintessential post apocalypse vehicle in my Post Apocalypse universe. The way I came up with the name for this vehicle is extremely hilarious. As I was brainstorming its design, I realized I was overdoing it by adding too many parts/weapon...

Re: Ryuzo Hero of the Post Apocalypse (9/28/10)

Denizens of the Post Apocalypse [/u] What I love about Ryuzo Hero of the Post Apocalypse is the diversity of its denizens. I suppose that is one of the reasons why coming up with characters (for this particular series) is so easy. It makes my job a whole lot easier and this story is developing at a...

Re: Ryuzo Hero of the Post Apocalypse (8/29/10)

Life is full of surprises, both good and bad. Here is one such example: I am in the process of finalizing a GI JOE Battle Wagon YouTube review. I wanted a scene where the Battle Wagon rams into 2 GI JOE ROC Steel Crusher APVs. Kmart had exactly 2 APVs on clearance for $11 each. I eagerly marched to ...

So I replaced them. 3 3/4" figures don't fit satisfyingly enough so there's still more work to do. Will also add makeshift foot rests (us...

The same cannot be said for the Marauders Trilogy. It's much harder to come with characters than vehicles. This denizen wears a spiked ...

As a customizer, I've come to appreciate the tiniest of pieces. I love to go to 99 cent stores because you can find treasures for incredibly low prices. The other day, I found these for less than $10 total. They are indeed treasures and will amazingly contribute to my post apocalypse customs. Let me...

Here is Project TW or as I prefer to call it, Tank Wheelchair: I had this idea for a wheelchair that instead of wheels would have tank treads. Surprisingly, the idea already exists.
