Sand Scorcher faded orange ?? build update #6
Sorry I haven't posted more updates, I finished the rear inner arches and started to lay down paint. First black primer, then silver then a light flat tan then pumpkin orange, I will need these as weathering base later. I went with Orange because its one of my favorites and a common bug color where i live. I didn't want the the typical black 'apocalypse' color. I have also slightly changed my course in regards to the concept direction where I want my finished car to go, however expect it to be more in line with my favorite type of model vehicles when I'm done. ;)
ready to start the weathering
tail shot
side, I have a thing for green doors
I can't believe how much time is in it already
rear arches
added a simple flate area to hide gearcase
Just a simple form to keep from seeing through
cut foam to fit 2/3a mini packs
2/3A mini pack adequate for my 55t motor

def4x4
Very nice paint the first orange with the green door. Great work on the interior too! Look like the finish is very close now!!
Victorious Secret
Alright~ the viking crusier is taking shape! I'm curious tho, I notice you seal the sun roof. Any reason for that or just a design issue?
Wyoming
Thanks guys, no reason for it other than I personally don't like sunroofs on cars. Also I will have a big roof rack/light bar so its not needed. As for final finish now the work is just begining of starting to layer on the years of age and give this bug a history...or well what looks like history since its a New built technically lol!
SMOKE-DOG
Looking real good so far. Like the orange.
Moondoggie
Well it's bound to get some history from the apocalypse...

top-notch work!

Coming along nicely, seth. I love the passenger side door replacement with the body hit. Looks very realistic. Keep up the great work, picasso
chewball
I don't like sunroofs either. Love the missing fuel door. You are the master of rust keep em coming.

I thought the Viking was the driver, not the passenger or is this a UK car?? I like what you have done so far, seems right up your ally. I haven't been paying too close attention to the re re builds, but did it come with the black mechanics box or did you paint it black to hide the clear??
Corona Powered
Nice work, especially the inner fenders you added. Really helps the stance.
Wyoming
Thanks guys. Chris the heads are not actually determined yet since they are just sitting there
The box was painted flat black as I didn't like the clear look
scollins
Lemme guess---you are the driver and Moondoggie is the 'viking' passenger
Fernado Alonso
Looks great so far, lots of work but it sure is something different then the other SC's On T.C.

Rat-Scorcher indeed!

It must get boring to keep hearing the same thing, but here goes. Awesome looking beast, fantastic work so far, great ideas done very very well. Lets see more... quick question what runtime are you hoping for from your batt..?
Wyoming
Thanks guys. it should give me at least 15 minutes, although cheap 1500 sub C nicds in my CC01s give me 30+ minutes with same motor type so these might surprise me although the Scorcher isn't geared as low even with the slow gears in it since it really moves even with the 55t lol!

Don't get much chance to get on TC at the moment normally just a quick glance to see whats been added but had to make time to leave a comment on this one Seth and the comment is 'EXCELLENT'

MUNDO COOL!!!!!!

orange? Yes, we should have guessed that. Might be better than black in the end too. Looking very realistic so far!
Wyoming
Thanks guys, I have changed my idea a little so the end result should work well with these colors I think.
