It is my vehicle GS18, I am giving you the WIP pics now. Guys I am running the contest and just playing along but not looking to pull a hangarbay94 and win my own prize. haha Hey I just coined a new phrase.
Back on topic, the next few pics represent day 1 of my build. I spent about 2 hrs going through fodder bins, holding pieces up to the vehicle to figure things out. The first thing I did was grab 2 Heavy Duty GI Joe backpacks and picked out the 2 big front guns. I had to cut some pieces off to mount them on the backpacks as well as cut away the rivets that stick out. I cut the details off the back upper part that connects to the lid the super glued it together. It took a long time to figure out the parts to the front. I knew I wanted a center piece that stuck out a bit and looked cool. I lucked out as a box arrived from a community chest from another forum and the front center piece came from that box! I used a figure stand behind it to fill the gap then added the Blackout Transformer arms (that were removed from my mini rig custom) to give some detail where they connect to the gun placement.
I am a container/extra storage junkie, so I went with the mentos gun bins on each side. They are velcroed on and hold a ton of weapons. Then I had very small areas left so I used a few SW and Joe backpacks for some detail.
I wanted a simple propulsion system on the back, it was going to be removable but I was worried about it failing and plan to make a separate mini rig for that. The platform with fans is from the generic Target figures that hit clearance last year. The center detail on the back is part of a happy meal toy. There will be a gun mount back here soon.
The control center is a modified computer that I found a clearance, it had legs, a back screen and 2 side panels so it has been modded a bit.
I will get rid of the writing on the floor with strips of styrene from a for sale sign.
