Comp 56 - Badlands Racer

[CaptainDangerous]

Not exactly ‘racer’ but non the less ash wastes, well off road worthy. Here’s my last minute doomed concept, mashing a toy quad bike with a Land Rover hobby kit:

Complete racer. Now to see if I can get the work shack done.

Here's my entry. No WIP pics, but I did take a shot of the base model before I started working on it. Not too heavy on the conversion front but looks scummy!

Double Panic! Haven't finished printing it yet...

 

[Scavvierising]

Still waiting on some components to arrive. I only ordered them yesterday mind. Also grown up stuff to do this weekend so I don't think I'll get anymore done. I'll get a pic up at some point of how far I got

Sadly, I didn't have any Star Wars bits or models for this comp, but that universe never really appealed to me, model wise that is.
May the 4th be with you!

The Psycho Salvage race team enjoyed only moderate success until a Plasma Destroyer drive was discovered in long forgotten Astra Militarum crate buried in an collapsed dome. The archeotech was adapted into a Minerva wheeler, replacing the much much smaller Plasma coil. The drive provided more power than such a chassis could realistically utilize and is somewhat temperamental when pressed extremely hard.

It's mostly completed and as finished as it's gonna get for now. I want to add a gunner copilot but that will have to come later.

 

[Scavvierising]

The bits I needed to finish did arrive by the deadline however I've not got the time

These engine power packs are going to go where the sponsons would normally go.

Still need also add hatch to top of cab. Another gantry walkway on the other side. Hand rails round them. Some plasticard panels and lots of rivets on the big flat areas. Big door at back and some ladder access.

 

[Stoof]

Still about 12-13 hours to go until I close this one, great entries so far!
