66 Malibu

I made a hatch in the rear for someone to get to the back of the rig. Just realized I forgot some bolt heads for the latch. You'll also notice a little smoke stack.





I also took the engine out. It was actually one of the best BBChevy engines I've seen in kit form. So I'll save that for another build. I threw in a crappier motor to fill the void as I'm going to just glue the hood shut.

Have a good Remembrance Day.

Thank you kind fellas. I need to think about a gun for da back.

 

[Junkie]

Rocket. Launcher.

Hmmm, that is a bit bigger than I had planned. Would be kinda neat. But it would have to be scratch built as well.

50 cal? Flame thrower?

I was just Googling images for 50 cal guns. Not fame thrower but I look into that too. I just wanted something that would be easy to scratch build. I found a pic of what I'm guessing is an older style because it didn't have excessive scopes and other I don't know whats ??? on it. My idea has been to mount it on a rim as a swivel mechanism. You know, all makeshift stuff. No high tech building engineers here.lol

Meanwhile, last evening I've been trying to figure out how to add a PE alternator bracket to my Nova engine as well. :

I used an old PC Mic base for my flame thrower. You can make the barrels out of any tube and just add a little details.

Thanks for the pic. Dogfish. A creative idea.

I am enjoying everyone's enthusiasm in this contest so far. I was starting to get a little bored with mine. I think it is because I just didn't feel like detailing all the little bits on the 50 caliber MG. So I'm not gonna. I feel better now. ;D I'm going to have a rag, tarp over the main body of the gun as if keeping dirt/rain out while not in use. I think it will look neat myself anyway. Here it is.



Not that you'll really be able to see it, but I put the fuel tank in under the trunk with a filler spout through the top. I'll cap it off later.



That is it for now.

 

[Junkie]

Did you scratch that gun? It looks awesome Matt. Wow.

Keep moving forward man, this is one sweet build.

 

[noname]

Thanks man, glad you like. Ya it really wasn't anything. I just cut up a bunch of styrene and glued it together. lol ;D

It is the detail on the side of the main body that I felt too lazy to do. We are talking small stuff.

Very nice scratchin on the .50 Cal! 8)
