Hey ya Guy..i have this medical problem i was born with..when i get to hot i cant cool down..it can kill my butt because i roast from the inside out..my mum has  it too but not as bad as me..the last time i blacked out from way over doing on a hot day i ended up wrapped up from head to foot in ice bags..for 2 hrs to bring my core temp down..i hate summer    

That's gotta suck!

Yeah, what he said - no wonder you want the heat to Fu Go Away With Extreme Prejudice.
I don't handle over about 18C very well, but I guess I should be thankful it's not to that extreme.

Lots of cold fluids... alcoholic or not, as you choose. Dr Rick, awaay!

[Wardukw]

Rick mate i freakin wish it was 18 ..we been dealing with 28C+ for like 4 days straight and today is no different..yesterday i went to Auckland and every single shop i went into bloody near instant sweat ..couldnt spend more than 15 mins in the warehouse ..it got to hot for me mum and trust me ..i wanted out bigtime too..thank god ive got a car with great air con.

Ive been playing with this thing again and made some head way with it and as per normal with what ever i build a thing has changed,,,the ACAV turret has gone buy buy..the MK19 wouldnt fit so i changed it ...its now got a turret from a MRAP ,,a Cougar and the MK19 is history too .
Now its a MK47 instead..hell why not ?..its the future and the MK47 is the replacement for the MK19 anyway so it does make sense at the end of the day and the ammo is the same so that hasnt changed ,,so to show ya ,,heres a few more pics for ya .
First off the new turret with its Live Resin MK47

The Live Resin MK47 has it own ammo can and that wasnt going to work with the turret because it sits at a pretty sharp angle and it would have set the height of the 47 to high so i went with a MK19 ammo can instead ,,,the way i see it is that when the guys found these things the ammo mountings was missing so they gerry rigged up a mount to take the MK19 cans which are still alot more common then the MK47s ones .

Now the cab has also received some attention ..lights ..lots of lights

Theres more lights to follow as well ...the head ache rack will have lights also mounted to it,,,two placed to face the rear and two more facing the sides,,there will be at least one or two more pointing down towards the fuel tanks ,,havent put them on yet cause i promise ill break em .
As you blokes can clearly see here ,,work on the trailer has begun ,,,pretty simple but thats now all there is to it of course ...those extra bits youll have to wait and see

Seeing the chopper sitting on the trailer reminds me of the SpaceX landing barges. Now I have to look up their names.

There is Just Read The Instructions, Of Course I Still Love You and A Shortfall of Gravitas. I would have to pick one of those for such a vehicle as yours.

[Wardukw]

Yep and that chopper aint going to be the only thing on that landing pad 

[frank2056]

This is looking great! That's a lot of boom with the Mk47!

If you want a Culture name for your transport (that's where Elon Musk got the ones for his SpaceX landing barges) here's a list  A sample:

Irregular Apocalypse
No More Mr Nice Guy
Just Read The Instructions
So Much For Subtlety
Attitude Adjuster
Hand Me The Gun And Ask Me Again
Lapsed Pacifist
Lasting Damage
No One Knows What The Dead Think
Dressed Up To Party

[Wardukw]

Lapsed pacifist is wicked good and i promise this..one of those names is going on that truck orrr.....maybe more than one ..im having an idea

I'm going to have to remember Lapsed Pacifist!

[Wardukw]

Ya might find that name already has an owner..a certain chopper pilot 

[Rick Lowe]

I have noted the Culture ship names I like the most and will be using them on various builds, in time... 

Then there's song titles, like Don't Fear The Reaper, or other similar.

[Wardukw]

I not normally the type who names vehicles but with such a great selection ya just have too .

The pilot has his nick.lapsed pacifist..
The chopper is going to be named dressed up to party..its getting more guns now 
I was going to call it attitude adjuster ..but zombies dont have attitudes so the name on the truck will be the name which on there when they stole  umm i mean borrowed it indefinitely ..Dustys wagon....Dusty must have been the driver..it was painted on the drivers door but hell ya never know do ya ?
