Update time. I found a perfect engine to go in the rear. It's actually a resin christmas ornament but it's the perfect size. I took out most of the windshield and will paint the rest to be extra shielding. The face shield can be moved up or down depending on if this monstrosity is in battle or not. I'm thinking of moving the passenger seat a little back and setting up a small rotating stand for a gun post. it will be about fold inward, and the door will be replaced with an armored flap that can be hinged and folded backwards. I was going to make it so it has a removable gun that can be changed to a TOW, machinegun, flamethrower, or grenade launcher.. Most of these weapons will not be able to be stored on the vehicle, because the rear engine will take up the space. Any suggestions for this turret are welcome. I need for some of you to let me know if you know where I can find. A 1/18 R/C off road bumper assembly. The ones I've seen are for much larger vehicles. and Fake flood lights. |

yeah - i can sort of make it out, but was your flash turned off? brilliant idea though. i may start looking for a 1:18 scale vehicle of my own - i think i'll use a truck, something a little bulkier than a Mustang. I loved your first pics. Zartan, just hangin out...

My digital's a little old and doesn't focus well when the light source changes. It also needs a lot of light. It's the reason i don't take photos with a flash and it's the reason I use a lot lights when I do take photos. These were taken at my studio where my lighting is fixed on the ceiling. The photos look okay to me but it's probably just my monitor.

It had a firebird/camaro front clip and then I think it was kind of a truck after for the rest, with a jet engine taking up the bed. I know it has to be a MadMax inspired vehicle. All the Dreadnoks were Aussies and Thrasher looked like he was straight out of Beyond Thunderdome.....
Thunderdome....Thundermachine. |

that is going to be one awesome vehicle. I hope hasbro makes one seeing as how it is on the smaller scale, I think it would work at retail
