So fuel sources aside, although the Veg Oil Diesel is a thing that might be a viable option for a while. Yes in the logical world, Fuel for these monsters is a real problem.

But meanwhile, back in Whifworld.... ;D

Here we go with the paint, stage one.
Home Printed Decals. So "Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side, shot a coat of primer then looked inside"  to paraphrase a bit ;)


Time for a stuff stack test to get a feel for the look. This will evolve.

I wonder how many litres of biodiesel you could make per hectare of canola (rape)/olives/peanuts?  :unsure:

If it's enough, then areas like the SE of South Australia & other areas where they grow a lot of canola (or olives, or peanuts) could become valuable pieces of real-estate.



Nice work on the MRAP, BT!  :thumbsup:

Did they buy it at an auction at the mason's lodge?
When I picture the big block Dodge Steve is describing the primer coat is barely covering the cop paint and the door badge and lettering can be still be read.  I'll build it one day.

Spatter patterns from those spinning blades would be interesting.  Although how much actual liquid blood is there in a zombie?
Maybe the zombies could be rendered down into fuel?

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

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

And just be REALLY CAREFUL, if you head down a Particular Road...  ;)
Hmmm - moonshine as a fuel additive, to increase the octane rating... wouldn't work for a diesel, but for gas, could be a thought.

It does look good.  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

If zombies could be rendered down, would we start hunting them, and they start running from us??  :o  ;D

Internal combustion engines can be run on pure alcohol.  Hill climb and IIRC speedway bikes used to be run on it.

Don't Indy cars run on methanol?

They certainly did do in the recent past, and it was always an issue when they caught fire as you couldn't see the flames!  :-\
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
