Hmmm, do I smell a zombie slayer group build?  :P

Could easily fit into the upcoming "It's the end of the world as we know it"  (also including WW3 and Post Apocalyptic builds) GC from 1 Sep - 28 Oct.

You had to say that,didn't you? 8)
Every time you eat celery,an angel vomits in a gas station bathroom. Tanks rule. I know the load is late,but the voices tell me to pull over and clean the guns.

I may or may not outline the green in either black,or chocolate brown.

I am bringing this back from the dead. Some bad things happened to the original one,so I started a new one. I used the AFV Club M41G.

Sorry for the bad pix. I am trying to get used to a new camera,and the only photo editing I have on my new laptop is MS Paint. I can't remember the name of the photo editor I used on my other laptop. When I get home,I will look it up,then download it onto this one.

Very nice build there Zod, I will have to look out for a M41 in 1/72nd scale as they are worth upgrading for sure.

Very nice work there!  For future vehicles, why not take inspiration from the Bolo series - fit Claymore mines along the track guards!

Thanks Deathjester. That is one thing I did not think of on this build. But thanks for the idea on a future build. :)

This thing is all kinds of cool man, bravo!!!  8)  Will we see anymore zombie vehicles from you?  Please say yes!

"Sir, we're out of ammo!"
"Oh crap...hey wait a minute!  We're in a tank, run 'em over!!!!"
*splat, splat, squish*

 ;D


That gives me an idea for a mod you could do though providing your zombies would act this way.  After running over a whole mess of them the time would come to egress the tank at which time any zombies or pieces there of still attached/stuck in various locations might pose a very real threat to the crew.  You wouldn't want to mow down a hole horde only to get bitten on the arm as you pop the hatch because half of one is stuck on the turret.  How about some sort of remote cameras or periscopes with wide angle lenses to allow for a visual inspection of the exterior?

Just had another idea, a zombie cleaning depot adapted from a self service car wash!  Drive the tank into the stall and a squad "cleans" the exterior of the undead with weapons of their choice and then hoses off the pieces that in turn get pushed into pits for later burning.

I might be over-thinking all of this  ;D

Well, that would give new meaning to servicing the vehicle.  I can see something like an automated car wash but spraying flame instead of soap, wax, etc. as it travels the length of the vehicle.

Can't hurt!  :) Come the Zombie Apocalypse, you're gonna make millions!  >:D I'd like some royalties, though, if you name your business "GoreWash".

Thanks Cliffy. I won't be making anymore mods to this one. The zombies in my world are like the ones in the Resident Evil movies. Easy to take down,and they don't get back up again. I will be making more zombie fighters. Not real soon though.

The green is zombie green from MIG Pigments. I tried to flick it on,but no luck. I will scrub some off.
