A wee while back i scored what i thought might turn out to be a half decent model and i couldnt have been more wrong.
This kit was a Revell 1300 series Unimog in 35th scale and what a pile of crap and to make things worse the cab wasnt even in the box so my heart just sank .
Then while looking thru my crap kits parts boxes i came across the remains of a Panda 35th Cougar MRAP.
Now this is a pile of crap too ...its chassis was used for rather mental Humvee ,,,so there is a heap of parts sitting there doing doodoo ,,well not anymore  ;D
This is what ive been playing with,,,now the orginal idea was a offroad comp truck ,,complete roll cage and it probably would have had its entire suspension replaced  ....but a more better idea came to the surface  :wacko:
This is what ive come up with so far ..

This is a bush bar ,,,not really made as a battering ram ,,and its possible ill mod this abit but for its intended use i think it would work well .

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Cool!

Nice use of otherwise scrap parts.  :thumbsup:

I particularly like the twin Fifties - presumably SOB? The ammo belts are very nicely done.

Keep It Up!

Wardukw

Thank ya Rick ... ;D

The twin 50s are from Live Resin ...the amount of goodies LR make is scary now ,,,the M240 is LR too,...well so is the M14 DMR ..the G36 is from Trumpeter ...theres going the be a P7 in the cab along with other goodies  ;)

So a nice, eclectic mix of weaponry, then...  :thumbsup:  And some cool stuff, as well.

Love the wheels! Not exactly Unimog tires are they?

Thanks guys ☺️
Scoot mate oh you bet...ive been in things like this and there's cables all over the place..this layout will make sense when I invent the back story  ;D

Fred ..I know  :-\ ..it sucks and I'm not going to hide it...it should be a turbo Cat 6 but I'm seriously lacking in the 35th scale engines department...it's the original Unimog 4cyl so I'm gonna hide it to better " protect " it  ;)

Ken those are from a toy..monster truck toys ..official monster truck stuff from the US ..even had BKT molded on the tyres..quite badly mind you so they went bye-bye ..they should weather nicely 🙂

I have a selection of those from several different toy trucks. Some even have a fairly decent looking military style tread. One of these days I'll build something with them.

Funnily everytime I'm in a second hand store or shop where toys are sold I'm looking at the wheels..don't care at all about the toys 😆
So far my  luck hasn't been that good but ya never know  ;D
