As much as I generally prefer my builds to have some rudimentary grasp of practicality, sometimes, maybe you have to "let it go"....

Go out on the edge on this build perhaps around on clearing a path through a horde.. why not saws. Plenty of timber mills around to get large diameter saws, power up with an electric motor... lets play  ;)

The plan is very much in bluetac concept mode at the moment to get a feel for how it might work. A long way to go yet and that is without starting the over think bit of how to clear the upper halves from off the saws.. .Oh dear here we go already  :o

3D printed some rudimentary saw disks. Originally I had plans to order some metal ones,  but then sanity said why go to that expense for no reason. Whilst a bit thick, the 3D prints will do the job. Besides I have used a real saw before on a build and it cause more angst and actual damage (like cuts) than it was worth.


Testing for height  ;)


Wait for this to get wildly over engineered and out of control  ;D


Gearing up the interior is in the works as well.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Great work on the front of that rig!

Saw blades!
Who's the monster now!  Ahahaha!
As far as clearing off accumulated torsos try just slamming on the brakes. Then a good car wash.

The saw blades look good and less likely to draw real blood while building. Have you thought of adding one or two vertical blades (maybe on an arm) for some variety in the carnage?

Looking at the blades, I was kind of hoping they'd be more like:

Too fragile when printed?

You'll need a stack of spare blades inside the truck or tied to the sides.

You're saying that like it's a Bad Thing...  ;)

What about an angled shield above the blades, so the parts just bounce and slide back off? Simpler...
