It is indeed, doc, why does it not surprise me that Devin has Incorporated it into an awesome custom  less than a week into his possession of it? I love the back story. I have to wonder what Devin's hall of armor is looking like about now?

Thanks again for that great bag of goodies.  I was able to clean this piece up realy well by sanding off the badly cast peg and a few of the bubbles.  made sure to coat it in several base layers of paint to fill in the rest of the small voids and viola, fixed!    I also solved the peg problem by sanding it down flat and drilling into the piece to insert a plastic replacement peg of the same diameter.

I need to get around to actually making a decent hall of armor diorama... Just havn't put forth the effort into it...

Just a good 'ol american red-neck "Knox" grew up and lived around Kentucky's Fort Knox. A gear-head and all around tinkerer he became a mechanic working on restoring old war-machines for the area's museums....

Then it happened. The event that changed the world. Them... 

Fort Knox, being one of the most valuable forts in America was on high alert and pulled all available personnel into action, even drafting some civilians for extra help.  As the undead surrounded the area it seemed like all hope was lost....

Seeing this inevitability coming Knox used his mechanical prowess to build his last ditch effort at survival.  Taking his beloved pick-up truck and fusing it with a tank's tread assembly he made a half-tracks that he figured could take him to safety...

As chaos enthralled the base he took what weapons, ammunition and supplies he could and made his escape....  he drove his creation into the wilderness, making his home in the woods that he grew up hunting in.  Figuring that the zombie hoards would be thickest where the human populations were greatest he made his survival by living off the land, only venturing into small towns in extreme circumstances to obtain fuel for his ride.....


Knox:




and his ride:

That looks great now all it needs is a good paint job of blood and guts around it.

my thoughts exactly!  The next chance I get i'm going to add some massive weathering to the vehicle....  scratches and dents, bullet holes, muddy tires/tracks and lots of blood and guts on the front grill.

That is really awesome Spud. No doubt it will be better all banged up with some gore to fit your verse you have described. That truck is a great base vehicle, I love it, doesn't hurt that I drive a Dodge 2500 diesel. ;)

Wow love the story Devin. I would love to see you write out a ful story or make this a web-comic as I love a good Zombie story.

I like the truck a good bit, where can I pick one up? Preferably in the Tacoma variety? On the front page.
