    You should do more builds like this, it’s fun to watch you exercise your creativity into weird projects like this

    Very cool (and fun) project, looks great! Have to build me one of these. Would have liked to see a digi-camo paint job but that's just me. Who knew modelling could be so much fun - excellent work! Thanks!

    That is great. Used to do stuff like that all the time. Could use a ramming bar on the front maybe, but definitely neat.

  • @glenj4908
    @glenj4908 Před 6 lety

    Very cool! Needs some armor plates around those wheels to protect those tires. :)

  • @mrnoodlelai
    @mrnoodlelai Před 6 lety

    very nice build. some mud on the tires will be perfect

  • @Simonize41
    @Simonize41 Před 6 lety +3

    No armor plate over the drivers door opening? Hinged upwards maybe?
    Hmmm, a name? ‘Rasta-Blaster!’
    Great build and video Andy!👌🏻😎

  • @egomezmx65
    @egomezmx65 Před 6 lety

    Great build Andy!, You turned out to be a good engineer and designer, it was funny to hear you say that you wanted the front plate to be able to be opened by a person, and also I imagined going to a hard left corner and tipping to its side because of the high and heave gun up there. But like you said is fiction an as long as it is fun, the in ok. Congratulations it ended up awesome! You just raised the bar for Luka.

    Ok. I'm late watching this video. But this is exactly the kind of thing my infantry friends and I would joke about. "Let's take your (insert sports car model here) and mount a 50 Cal and turret to the roof!" This is awesome.

  • @randygagliano5984
    @randygagliano5984 Před 6 lety

    I like the way it turned out. was hoping for a bit of brown cammo as well. if available, flare and chaff dispensers would look cool on the sides

  • @willishefner9119
    @willishefner9119 Před 6 lety

  • @jerryvolpini7987
    @jerryvolpini7987 Před 6 lety +13

    As for names, just to get things started, how about:
    'HAVOC' or 'UAV - Urban Assault Vehicle'.

    • @eugenerudman
      @eugenerudman Před 6 lety +2

      stick a couple jerry cans on the outside as well :D

  • @gavingiant6900
    @gavingiant6900 Před 6 lety

    Nice build and paint job👍
    For the name FORD FORTRESS. XLS/G
    The XLS/G meaning Extra Large Shooter/Grenade
    Or change the S to a C for Cannon.
    You could also put an R infront of the X for Rapid.
    Or skip the letters all together

    leaving the wheels a flat black color would have made a more menacing appearance IMHO

    @ssgtslick Před 6 lety

    Like the imagination that went into this, some great scratch building. Would do the weathering differently, technique was good but result nothing like what I've seen in a real desert. (Real Life experience) I would name this "UAV-L" (Urban Assault Vehicle-Light) If you ever do anouther car, my request is a Funny Car or Pro Mod drag racer.

    I loved this project! Now I really want to do my own post-apocaliptyc car! It's fun to see the Gouf hand as a grenade launcher.
    I doubt that the car lights will be so clean, new and bright in a mad max movie!
