MaxxPro MRAP After the Apocalypse
« on: May 30, 2026, 04:46:48 PM »
I have been known from time to time to build on a Post Apocalyptic theme.
A couple of years back I started this, Kinetic 1/35 MaxxPro MRAP with maybe Post Apoc or perhaps just a RW build. So it got to this stage, very vanilla. And on the Shelf is sat, until today.


At this stage just working through some options, the leading contender being a "found" vehicle, then tricked out to suit the new reality of a Post Apocalyptic world for the new operators.

Kinetic later produced a Law Enforcement version, packing a bit less weaponry than the Military version somewhat like this, which is probably where I might start as as basis for previous owner.
Although with what the officers are wearing if it was not for the Police shield, who would know.


For a point of context, the kit I am using is the original Military release

I remember seeing a RW one at the Chicago Auto Show back in the day. Quite a large vehicle.
This will be fun to watch!
Any badly dressed over armed figures to go with this?

Bit of bench time.. which considering our big model show is this weekend, is quite remarkable. All the models for that are already boxed up.. nothing further to add.

Bull Bar, looking at a sweep down design for any.. err zombo's that get in the way to go under wheels. Also a bit of replacement of damaged grille.



Bit of Mudguard distressing..


Interior stowage underway. I like this bit, to get it looking sort of "right" for stuff that needs to be inside vs stuff outside.
I used the 3D printer to print a block, as it would have taken longer to build up using spares and card. Needs a bit of detail paint, tie downs and the like.


next step will be interior paint. Or more work on the body shell.
