After seeing a badass conversion on google image search I knew I wanted to give it a shot... only I wanted to dial it up to 11.

So far the back of the frame has been shaved of the suspension and shortened down. The front using a plank has been extended meaning I can push the front wheels forward and make some crazy exhaust system with no worries to clearance and the engine is getting beefed up.

I do have plans for a roof plus some sort of bed. I also plan to swap it to use rokkits tho I dont have any spare right now. (might try to just make some).

This looks cool, I would love to see some pics from some different angles.

sure

As you can see the back needs some work (read: I've not really touched it yet)



the sides have some gaps but its nothing a bit of time cant fix

I have an idea for some exhausts, I will sketch them in paint and post them.

OK, I think some big exhausts, (white) on either side of the engine would look great.

These could be made from polystyrene piping with a 45 degree cut in the middle and twisted.

You can get this at most hobby shops or train stores.

With some piping leading into the engine area.

The back could either be a cab or a flatbed or whatever you want.

Hope this helped, Igloo.

Nice start.

thats the plan I also need to fab up some sort of supercharger pully. So far im thinking of using the chain and pully from the wrecking ball but i might also just make one from green stuff and polystyrene board

got some supplies last week and in my down time I've made a good chunk of the cab

~subbed

Some small updates before Christmas.

The back and roof are finally taking shape.





Next thing to get is the rocket bitz off of the GW site to plug into the roof and then dig around my bitz box for some roof luggage.

I've also chopped the gunners legs to have more of a sitting lose with his arms holding a sort of remote targit marker I've yet to finish or maybe chop it off for a pistol I dunno.

I feel like the rear tires need to either be twice as wide, or stick out more.


Other then that, I frigging LURVE Ork rattods. And yours is definitely looking ace

sounds like an interesting idea I could also make the bed wider as a result.
