A uniform military/police color overall then every extra part could be different depending on when and where it was found. Except rust. Rust is everywhere.

It is like you are reading my mind  :o

How do you get stores from the top of a vehicle that is over 3M tall  :o
Like this ! Sort of brick lift/hay bale lift idea. Manually cranked, or use a small electric motor.  Groan... now I need to build a generator  :banghead:



All the interior stores in place. Time to zip it up and get onto the next stage


Painting as commenced  :D

A bloke shinnies up a ladder to the roof and tosses them down to a bloke on the ground?

- 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.

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

Simpler is better... not as much to break.  :thumbsup:

It's interesting to see Uzis again - they don't make too many appearances these days.  :thumbsup:

Quote from: kerick on May 30, 2026, 09:14:24 PMI read one person's theory that a small fuel efficient car would be a better choice if you're really looking to get around. The truck sized vehicles would gobble up fuel fast and leave you stranded. But they are not as interesting to build as a model.
The zombie apocalypse theme build had some great ideas.

That's my first thought when the theme "Post-Apocalypse" comes up. Gasoline goes 'bad' after about half a year, after that you'd have to 'make' your own or ... push.  ;)
Luckily, there is a solution (...if it fits into the scope of your what-if :rolleyes:...)
The game "Mad Max" had a genious institution:


Basically a large drum the size of a large boiler, just dripping gasoline... I guess out of thin air? I thought out my own (supernatural) working logic behind it, when I wanted to build a Mad Max - themed Dodge Challenger.
:lol:

If you had a source of crude you could possibly refine some gasoline. Or vegetable oil, it's easy to make biodiesel. It's the source products that would be difficult to get.
