[carion]

I want one, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[TofuJesse]

Dude! That is fing sick.

[KrymsynGardImmoral]

oh, wow, I am inspired. Seriously, great looking piece. I have wanted to do something with the Mean Dog parts I have, but was never sure which way to go since the design seems so specific to the functions, but with a little sheet styrene and some treads you have changed the whole look and feel of it. I can't wait to see more. Where are your previous versions?

[CobraOfficer999]

Looks grrreat!

[Xenos]

Nice work on the scratch-built pieces. I can't wait to see the finished product.

[saltymarine]

Thanks, the treads are from the WALL-E toy, 7" version, and other version is in my albums, I really dig the Mean Dog and wish it was wider and longer, but the treads make it look much bigger so Im happy. Here's the other version I did, when I'm done I'll put a stock one next to these to see the difference start to finish.

Were those Wall-E's electronic? The treads look like they can move or are they just detailed well?

Hello, I am seeing this Desert Patrol Vehicle for the first time.I must say that it has been creatively built.Very nice pictures.It would have been great if the actual prices too would have been listed along with it.Many thanks.

[saltymarine]

well thanks everybody, yes the wall E tracks were motorized, Price is dependent upon if you can find at flea markets or garage sales or if you buy on ebay, ebay prices vary from a lucky $10.00 to $45.00 if its broken or missing parts, to $20.00 at flea mkts or garage sales, you need 3 WALL-E's,the Mean Dogs I got, 4 of them, on ebay $40.00, so I have way to much Money invested in these toys of mine but I could'nt afford Racing Motorcycles anymore so, if you enjoy it spend what you can, you only live once, I.m still learning and still am amazed at some of the other talent on these pages of the Tank. I hope to have this ready for paint in a week or 2, i will post pics of painting if anyone is interested.

Again a truckload of WIN!!!!

[Mr Hebime]

The original Marvel run made me a huge fan of the Mean Dog. This version is a fantastic take on a great vehicle. Any plans on making an updated version of Wildcard?

[saltymarine]

Ya I just mite, got to get some pics cuz I don't have any, I was gunna do a desert rat sorta themed crew all dirty and worn .

[nova]

Did you keep the Electronic parts from Wall-e in the Mean Dog? will it dance and drive and such?

[saltymarine]

yes the WALL-E was motorized, an no I didnt keep the parts, but one could motorize it if properly motivated, I barely have time to spend on this, let alone RC, It would Be cool tho.

[SDawg]

RC would be so awesome, but also alot of work and cash spending lol

[saltymarine]

A couple updates, I wanted to do some Bar Armor to try and get an idea of how it would look on a Joe vehicle, I have to go all the way around but first pieces look pretty good so far, what do you guys think ?

[DARKWIND]

Really loving where this is going!

[GILTYONE]

Oh my god poor wall-e........... Lol looks good man nice work!!!

[spot138]

I realy like it but cant help wondering how a maggot turret would look on the back - if its even possible

[saltymarine]

More progress, this is a lot of work, but gets simpler with practice, I've never seen anything done up this way toy wise, but everything in Theater has this armor, it looks Sooo Bitch@& !!!

[Crimson Gord]

ya my jaw is kinda on the floor right now !

[nath_1977]

nice work on the styreen squares/rods, well aligned.
good job!

[saltymarine]

just a few more progress pics of Bar armor, allmost ready for paint.

[cav17scout]

Freakin sick!!! pure awesomeness

[freakintiger]

This is awesome work!

[saltymarine]

Thanx guys, I work 7 days a week, but I will finish this, I got a new paint from from England called The Army Painter, great color scheme, it is a game figure paint I found at the local Hobbyshop, can't wait 2 finish it !!

[dsrader]

very nice

[KrymsynGardImmoral]

WOW, that armor is wild, I have never heard of it before, I had to look it up. It looks perfect, I can't imagine the patience you needed to build all that.
