Dodge L-700 Command Vehicle

[dogfish7]

Thanks guys. Managed to raise the chassis with blocks and U channel steel, then bolted them down with half round and copper wire. Just had to see if the Camper shell would fit, so started on it as well. Using an extra M21 Half Track M2 Top Mount for the M2.






Shot the chassis with a couple of coats of Metalic Primer.

Man I like that camper. Good choice there mate.

 

[dogfish7]

Thanks guys. Painted most of the chassis parts black primer, the tires are AK Tire Grey and the engine is Chrysler orange and flat aluminum. Also painted the chassis metalic silver and high lighted the rivets and shadows with flat black.

Nice!

 

[Junkie]

Yeah, great update. You're gonna build yourself a cool model here.

 

[noname]

Cool stuff. Those tires will make this build.

 

[dogfish7]

They sure will help Had to apply a wash to the engine, because it was way too clean

Had to remove some of the engine cross members, to facilitate the 361 with blower.

Now can start removing some of the Cab fire wall to allow for additional air and blower belt pulleys.

Moving along real good.

Excellent update dogfish!

 

[Quaralane]

Going to be one NOISY cabin

 

[dogfish7]

It sure is, but with the .50 Cal going off, exhaust headers, people screaming, Mulatov Coctails flying, doubt we'll even notice ;D

Worked on the DWC .50 Cal yesterday. Sprayed the MG gun metal and the base and ammo cans Tamiya Olive Drab. Then did the ammo with brass, copper and flat black.


Also received more great accessories from DWC and some Iron paint from Modern Master. Of course, had to try it out.

That came out very neat!! Looks awesome!

 

[Quaralane]

Coming along very nicely here

 

[dogfish7]

Thanks. Mixed about a tea spoon of the paint with equal part of white vinegar. Then you just muck it on and let stand. Had to go back over a couple areas which I missed.

Shot the whole thing with Satin Clear coat, to give it a damp look.


While waiting for that to dry, took Jared by his Burkie and threw him into the spray booth for a little bath. Base coat is Dupli-Color Acrylic Black, they equal parts of Tamiya Buff, Flat Flesh and primer.

Now can start some work on the Camper.

 

[Junkie]

You're rocking.

 

[CTspeedshop]

Looking good!

 

[dogfish7]

Thanks Scott and CT. Worked on the Cab blower box. Made out of Morten Salt porer and Aluminum foil duct tape.

Cleaned up the rest of the DWC resin parts.

While taking apart on old printer for recycle, came across several great parts for Dios and such. There's wiring, springs and lots of cool parts like this.

Had an idea. Why not make a Zombie Guard?



After rusting up a couple of resin barrels, decided to add a color band of green. Used the Hair Spray method with acrylic paint and scatched it up with a tooth pick. Add a little more rust and another coat of hair spray.


Worked on Jared a bit. Flesh tone and painted some of his clothing.
