Scratchbuilt 1/35 car jack!

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thanks heaps guys  ;D  ;D.
I've really enjoyed this pint sized little technical 😀
I'll play with it some more today..add a bit more details and make it look more rough and used .
Then it's coffee and paint ..in that order  :thumbsup:
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 .

Holy cow! That jack looks great! That little motor in that Midget doesn't have enough power to run those tracks much less get anywhere but who cares! Carry on.

Ahhh ...see there's a new engine in this thing now ..gone is the tiny 12hp 250cc donk ..it's been replaced with the truly massive Daihatsu 998cc  3cyl from a 1979 Charade with 55hp  :wacko:
It's sitting right behind the cab with a cover over it ...ive yet to finish that off with an exhaust pipe and radiator cap and hinges for the access door . ;D

Also available with a turbo at one stage.  ;D  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I like that 👌 😏 😌
Wouldn't use anything to big either  ..a 45mm turbo would be overkill so I'll use that   :wacko:  :wacko:

As for this little monster..the building is done ..added a few more details but nothing to mental ..this is pretty sweet as it is  :thumbsup:

So Bad Idea! I can just see this bugger going down the street and the driver tries to turn and the vehicle just keeps going straight!

You'd think that wouldn't ya mate but the steering is sweet ...there's levers and rods connected to the steering column and the brakes of tracked unit ..just like a,Kettengrad 👍

Am I the only person that thinks this is a fantastic idea?

I think it looks brilliant so far, well done!

Those hinges!!! Do they work? The TTT is looking great!

That little Arii kit is so versatile and fun.

Nice!
And the consensus here in the library is that it *must* have the twin launchers. :thumbsup:
