Gorgeous...damn I want to build one (and I might...my father has 100+ kits sitting around...surely he can spare a couple!). I think a post-apocalypse race game using these would be pretty awesome. Such a great idea/concept. Love the stuff Poco.

Nice build and painting. I think this'll be the next group build project on here

Great build!

Well done!

That is really well done! I especially like the weathering.

Many thanks for the kind words Gents, much appreciated. I do hope that I manage to get the shine toned down without getting too blurred finish.

Regarding the underside... good point there Chris. There are some rear-axle supports, that "the engineers" have decided to be too important not to be left without any protection but of course one speed-bumb or big enough rock and that protection will fly off. I guess the reasoning is that the car will travel at such fast speeds, that it won't get stuck

Great to see that many folks are interested in building these kind of vehicles, will be awesome to see your versions!

Looks great mate

The only thing I would mention (apart from the shine

) is that the canopy looks a little out of place with all that frosting.

cheers

You know how cold the desert nights can get, I guess the maintenance crew hasn't been up to their duties

Or then it's the desert sand dust? In honesty, I was too hasty and didn't actually have anything to detail the interior so messy windows saved me the trouble... sort of.

So while waiting for the matt varnish to dry on the Long Range Fast Attack Car (would German name be something along the line google translate suggests: Langstrecken Schnelle Angriff Auto/Fahrzeug?) I decided to dust off (pardon the pun) from my soon seven years old Dust Gunther walker model. I have had it in semi-finished state for as long as I have had it and now it sees the daylight again! I will give it similar treatment as the car and I think I will have thus also suitable paintjob in my mind for my Dreamforge Games' Stormtroopers

Here's a pic of the Gunther (I want to rename, no offence to any Gunthers out there) with the Fast Attack Car pre-paint job that will follow as soon as I finish typing this. I posed the walker as it would be in a small remote supply depot, with a small ammo and fuel carrier.

As always, comments, critique and ideas welcomed.

Langstrecken- Schnellangriffsfahrzeug - or maybe Angriffsmobil (like in Automobil), sounds a bit nicer.
If you wanted to emphasise on the car itself being fast rather than the attack: schnelles Langstrecken- Angriffsfahrzeug.

Seeing you're adding a Dust walker: if you want the name to sound a bit more like something out of weird WWII- Langstrecken- Blitzangriffsmobil.

Excellent! Many thanks. Langstrecken-Blitzangriffsmobil it is, LBAM for short

lift some dog fighting rules that kept it all in the 2D plane

That's not a bad idea.

pocoloco · « **Reply #26 on:** September 01, 2013, 05:59:21 AM »

Great idea and concept Scurv! Looks like you have it all figured out already. I think I could do a test-drive on some 1/72 models if i come across suitable ones.

Constable Bertrand · « **Reply #27 on:** September 01, 2013, 07:21:59 AM »

Looking good pocoloco!!! I prefer your struts and suspension setup to Blackwolfs, it seems more plausible.

Do you know if it is possible to just buy wheels/suspension from somewhere? I'm new to kitbashing, and its an expensive startup

Cheers
Matt

scurv: That sounds like a plan to me! So basically it still uses the wings' flaps for turning and also wheel brakes for that matter? I think you should go ahead with that build.

constable bertrand: haven't come across myself with any place yet... I hope there is and somebody knows, I could use a place like that myself

Constable Bertrand · « **Reply #29 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:20:04 AM »

Scurv, the front view looks hot, i love the wings, they have a pterodactyl like quality to them... (Could you 'fold' them up and like how a pterodactyl walks? Just a crazy thought) but the length of the vehicle throws me off that one. Perhaps shorten the fuselage and have a single internal wheel just behind the cockpit? Like a morgan 3 wheeler on steroids?
