"What's up officer, did I go above the speed limit?"

"No, sir, your flight altitude was waaay too low."

Very nice! I am not entirely convinced by the narrow wheel placement at the rear, but it will most likely look perfectly fine once finished.

So the model is intended to drive with the dualies at the front?  I was a little curious which direction it was facing. :D  Very slick.

Excellent conversion - looking forward to progress. I frequent the Ma.K forum too and yours fit nicely alongside the others...

Excellent, will be great to see more pics of your progress. Guess I will have to do something similar soon!

Oh I do like that. I saw something similar at EuroMilitaire 2011.

It's sort of a hot rod Morgan Threewheeler  ;)

Haven't been there for awhile, using Kruegar's website for all my recent Ma.K madness; there is an Nutrocker I have just built,with some slight conversions,probably start to paint that in an day or two...I blame you,you know.Not that I can ever aspire to your skills.

If they sold the new three wheelers in Australia,I would by one like a shot :D

@Blackwolf

You mean one of these?

(http://i831.photobucket.com/albums/zz236/SirDryden/T-Rex_zps924924b9.jpg)

The Campagna T-Rex. Proudly made here in Quebec, too, though I wouldn't drive one at this time of year...

By the way, great model, really like your take on it. I also really like that Krueger's Kriegers site. Eye-candy galore.

Think they mean this...a new released model of an older Morgan design philosophy.

   Need to tighten up the paint a bit before I can start weathering et cetera, and fix those gaps!

I hope you meant to say 190, or you'll have a whole different beast on your hands...  ;)

Nope, meant exactly Bf-109. This is FW 190 but in the Kruegers Krieger link that was posted earlier, Bf-109 was used. If I manage to do something with the Bf, next stop perhaps Hurricane, Spitfire or Zero :)

I see. Didn't click that link before, but that Messerschmidt look pretty badass too!

Would it be a stretch to assume that he took his inspiration from having a strange image in his head when hearing of the actual Messerschmidt threewheeler? ;)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_KR200 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_KR200)

Not as intimidating, but just as curious I'd say... :D

I think an He-111 would be nice.  Or some of the cool Italian planes...lots of great potential.

 Might have overdone the weathering... :D

Weathering looks good, just perfect for such a vehicle, zooming at high speed on patrols.
Title: Re: Heavy Long Range Patrol Car, Updated,11/13
Post by: Elbows on 11 January 2013, 07:54:45 AM
I can't really see - did you do a lot of worn down metal on the front/nose?  If that things high-speed through sandy/desert envrionment the nose would be worn clean almost (or several sandblasted). :D
Title: Re: Heavy Long Range Patrol Car, Updated,11/13
Post by: Blackwolf on 11 January 2013, 08:02:11 AM
Yep,worn on the front. Just have to paint some crew and put it in an suitable setting.

Cheers Pocoloco :)

You need to spill the beans on what this is going to be used for.

 I'm thinking a scene with an wacking great hovertank (an Sf3d model),and in my planned spacepunk setting,  heavily influenced by the Ketty Jay novels by Chris Wooding ;)
