Vehicles Custom POC Thundermachine

Cobraoner · 12-01-2011, 05:52 PM

SO I was toying around with the idea of making a modern Thunder-machine out of a vamp BUt came short when I realized the thunder-machine parts are minuet compared to the Poc Vamp .. So what I did was TRY and recreate the thunder-machine as if it were a Mad max vehicle or something of that rather!

This is my attempt at a make shift scratch built custom .. Now grant it a mad max of vehicle of that era is usually built using huge scrap pieces of metal and a gatling gun and other random junk fodder so I found it easy to make an error become a part of this vehicle

PLease enjoy and bare with me I, AM USELESS WITH STYRENE!!!!

Be gentle .. Im new to vehicle customizing but if you have to lean into the criticism by all means let me have it !

Its past a WIP point but you get the picture

I just added the roll cage to the front With a little bit of paint it should come out just how i pictured it .... I am also debating doing it black .. any suggestions are welcome ..

OK so its 89% done I need to apply some stickers and paint the front roll cage .. also I might add some more weathering and a bit of rust .... Take a gander and please let me know your honest opinion! cheers!!!

P.s. The fonts are photoshopped but I was toying with the placement ideas.

I weathered it a bit more, Tied down the intake and gave it the beginning stages of my rust process .

Back view with some rust build up on the rear end .

Front end with a tiny bit of rust.

Rusted door panels

Enjoy

Looks good so far. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Same here. I like how it's coming along.

I can't wait to see how this turns out. With the new Dreadnok 7-pack coming out we need the Thunder Machine.

This looks great, i like that you included a back area instead of just the driver and passenger places.

Great idea to use the new POC Vamp as the base for the Thundermachine. Looks real good. You did a good job maintaining the classic look but still gave the vehicle a well needed upgrade. The only thing you need is the police car lights.
