Cult limo in the making there for sure

^^That was it!! Mine wasn't a station wagon though! I didn't even know they made those! Good grief we could have upped our passenger limit from 13 to 25 at least!

WOW! Did yours have white-walls too??

Of Course!

Ha ha ha! Canyonaroooooooooooooo!

Awesome!!
..back in those days it was like everyone on the road had a tank..

Yep, there was no such thing as a "crumple zone".

Heck, I rear-ended a 4x4 truck with mine....put a quarter sized dent in my fender, completely demolished the towing package on the truck!


those days are gone forever.

LOL! that is a real nice one, hybrids are always so cool!

Well I'm pleased von dom like the story (I will definitely write more vic). All I can say is its amazing what you can fit in a Renault Clio hatchback, plus it goes round corners and can parallel park. I wish it had white walls and fins though.

I do need to get me one of those american extra long cars in model form for a genestealer limo.

With the price of oil and all that 'tension' in the middle east we may all end up driving something even smaller than a Clio soon, and run it off methane like in mad max

that sounds like a good decision weety^^ more more more^^

a limo would be nice... i recently found some nice in scale cars on the fleamarket... one of these days i will convert them too...

...that is also known around here as vacation tetris...

Vacation tetris!! I love it.

played it so to speak with a friend of mine while we were on a trip to a larp game... we had to get a whole tent (a yurt) for more than six persons and armor for three into this tiny car that resembles yours....well i sat on the passengers seat beside the driver...unable to move and a big tree trunk seperated the two of us...or...ever went shopping to IKEA? same thing^^

Here's a beautiful Imperial Fist (I think) that I traded with weety for. Nice job weets, going to be a find addition to my Inquisitional Supplemental Forces.

that one has a true nasty beady eye^^

Blimey gitsplitta - you have a much better camera than me - so detailed - what is that white patch under his chin? I'm sure I didn't do that. The base is lovely.

We had something similar to that vic - we had a whole bunch of freshly cut bamboo that was longer than the car so we sort of bent it in all this bamboo under tension pressed up against the boot of the car and the windscreen

*chuckle* A piece of the packing material... didn't even notice it!

ohoh... weety that sounds like a sure way to get rid of the windshield

It sure was a bit of a mad road trip - I was terrified that the bamboo would snap and shards would fly about. I never thought that the windshied might pop out - as it happens we got to the allotment without any incidents.

Here is the vehicle I will be using for the genestealer limo - it is a Chevrolet Nomad and with a little greenstuff and some paint it will be perfect. I may have to remove the surfboard but I'm sure I will find a use for it.

I would have got something bigger but this was just the right scale and was only 2 quid

thats going to make an interesting limo!

Really looking forward to seeing you butcher that chevy, and my my that is some quality freehand on the IF's shin, even with a macro lens - did you do that without a stencil? :O

Without stencil scarper - it was an absolute b*tch and I nearly gave up but I couldn't really cos it was for gits!

Looking forward to a little butchery myself roguewolves

a very promising model weety... good luck with the surfboard removing!

Its going well so far - lots of greenstuff skulls and corrosion. I'm just having trouble deciding where to stop - pics soon!

Looking forward to this! Great car to re-work!

a bit of tentative progress on the limo and a new little friend - these metal hybrids usually go for a tenner but I scored this little hunchbacked critter for 5.99 so I'm happy - Now I just need a few more at that price.

The limo will be fairly well covered in the skulls and corrosion - maybe with a little bit of "bio-mechanoid" H. R. Giger type stuff if I can master it. I've got skulls down to a fine art now.

GS work looking awesome Weety! You should make some teeth for the grill too!

That thought did cross my mind - but don't you think it might make it look orkish?

It could...yeah. Maybe flames? Of bones filling up the grill space? It needs something, it's just too clean.

Maybe just "damage" the grill?

That green stuff corrosion is really good - I might steal that technique, if you don't mind I think the car looks perfect for a genestealer ride - it's got exactly the right aesthetic and curves. Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Well just in case you can't guess how I did it - After smoothing very thin layers of GS onto the surface I found a brush with a rounded butt-end and after rubbing a little petroleum jelly on the end I pressed it into the GS (That sentence just feels rude to me somehow, I don't know why).

I think you are right RSjake - The problem with the grill is - the problem with the grill - It has a bloody piece of hard transparent plastic in-front of it and I cant seem to pry it out - so I will have to do some sculpting there- this will be a labour of love.

This blog has been lacking in squats, recently. I'm jus' SAYIN'. I mean, come on. "Extra Squats"? HARDLY.

Thats true - Maybe I should change the title? Extra hybrids Perhaps?
