And I'm thinking about adding this to the roof on its tripod stand...

So that's awesome. You have all you need Ian.

Bring. It.

Are those (incredible concept) drawings from Concept Ships Blog. I don't remember seeing them. They are awe.some. Love that skull on the van, and the stance of that big truck...knarly barley.
 
That's the site I meant. Love that place...tons of awesome modeling ideas.
 
I've also got an order in for a bunch of Evergreen scratch building materials like strips, rod and corrugated siding. And then I went ahead and bought some BLACKEN IT and PATINA IT for the metal and tire chains.

Really excited to start putting this together.
 
I forgot to mention a trip to my local yarn and bead store (with my crocheting wife) where I was able to pick up these items!

Nice lot there! That spiked plate thing has got zombie death machine written all over it!
 
Since I received the Blacken-It today I just had to try it out. Um, yeah, incredible.

And we're off!

Since the sprue color was already black I decided to use Alclad Gloss Black Base instead of the Semi Gloss Black it called for.
This then allowed me to spray Alclad Chrome For Plastics for the silver parts.
