Doctor Cranky's New Build (WIP--"THE ZOMBIE CRUSHER")

[Guest]

Hello, folks, decided to build yet another Toothless Zombie Hunter Squad vehicle for my growing collection, this time as you can see I opted for something that would really do the job right. It also marks another happy combination of Warhammer 40K bits and the Revell 2009 Dodge Challenger.

Here are a few pics to keep your enjoyment at a maximum! LOL.

This is Warhammer 40K meets Revell's 2009 Challenger. Indeed, I think they make a good match . . .

If you are a Zombie and you see this one coming, you better get out of the way!

Stay tuned in for more . . . .

This is great, i love this stuff! wouldn't look out of place on another Mad Max film

[Guest]

Not at all, and these types of builds are just lots of stress-free fun between shiny-buff-your-heart-out builds! Stay tuned in for more . . . primer is drying.

[Guest]

Here are all the parts of this build in primer . . . Plastikote all the way . . .

I really like the uniformity that primer brings the styrene . . . a great canvas awaits!

One more:

Believe it or not, those are all the parts that will need to be painted and weathered . . .

That looks like fun. That reminds me, Death race is on the box tonight....

Those movies are really idea sparkers! "Sparkers," is that a word? Hum . . .

[Guest]

The best bit is that no-one can say it's wrong!

Brilliant bit of plastic bashing but I have to admit I'm really looking forward to the weathering.

[Guest]

Sound peice of work, wonder if i can get one for a company car, would be great on the M6 lol

Richard, I have to say I am looking forward to the painting. I am leaning towards the color grey, but also a cammo paintjob I saw Phil Stutcinkas do on a Forge World tank in his co-edited volume MODEL MASTERCLASS.

We'll see in the coming days what will happen.

After the primer dried, the next two coats of paint went on the model . . . my Iwata Eclipse is rising to the challenge once again, and the Vallejo Model Air paint is working beautifully, stay tuned in for more pictures . . .

[Guest]

Here's the first basecoat of greyblack . . . this is going to provide all the shadows and subtle shade to the model . . .

[Guest]

Here's some of the grey basecoat going on . . . there will be three shades of grey: medium, medium-light, and light.

This picture perfectly shows the color gradation (CM) between the three stages . . . from light to dark . . .

[Guest]

Here is another good picture that shows the three colors being used. Remember the body already has 3 grey shades in the modulation. The tanks in the back have the medium-light shade, and the turret is still in the medium grey shade, and this gives you an idea of the subtlety. I hope you can see it.

Another angle:

And one more:

Let me know what you think, please . . . there's still PLENTY OF MORE WORK to be done on this one!

[Guest]

Here's the body before masking . . . I mixed a little bit of khaki and the med grey and then using the Micron C I added a bit more interest around details and panels . . .

[Guest]

Here's the taping for the cammo, a really random pattern, so let's keep our fingers crossed . . . see what happens . . .
