Title: Post apocalypse HEMTT
Post by: 35th-scale on March 07, 2015, 08:36:01 AM

Based on the Italeri Hemtt I added scratch build armor around the truck bed, wire mesh screens on all the windows, "home made" bull-bars and lots of guns & storage. And flood lights along the sides for when stuck out overnight on a scavaging run.

Always interesting to see the post-apocalypse builds and this one is really well done.  I had a go at making a similar gun truck out of the M939 5-ton but it wound up scrapped.

Maybe the Zombie apocalypse isn't here but the road version is. I'd like one of these bad boys for the downtown commute. This would put a few blanky-blanky drivers in their rightful place.

Nice work.

Could use a plow.

Get those walkers and crawlers off the road!

Nah, too awkward to park at the office. You need an M-ATV or up armoured Humvee for that :)

Love it!  Especially all those pintel-mounts  :)  Can't help thinking that the rear hydraulic arm should have some nasty great claw on its business end, though  ;)

Good insight, good build :)
Can see is as concept model for 1/1 truck build for a movie.
