I got more glue and I am back in business. LOL I had ran out of glue and my local wal-marts no longer carry modeling supplies, but I orderd some on Ebay (woohoo) and got me 5 pounds of scrap styrene while I was at it.

So first of the line since the glue embargo is this great little AWE Striker revamp.

I lengthened the nose on this one about an inch but the next one (They just keep remaking the darn thing) I am going to extend the rear-end instead and make it a 4 seater.

I was not going to put these wheels on because they were bigger then I wanted but then the front wheels fit perfectly and seemed like they were destined to be on it. So then I was afraid it was going to look too pieced together and was going to make it a Dreadnok buggy, but then towards the end it all fell into place and I deemed worthy of a Cobra emblem.

So without further delay.

It feels alot like a Defiance Roller to me, but so far I have only seen Jeep looking rollers on there, but if they had buggy frames this is what it would look like. LOL

I have been contemplating doing a Defiance Roller (jeep body style) but have my hands full.

I am about half done with a totally different Rapid Attack Vehicle, along with several other WIPs plus have another AWE that I want to do but have not started cutting on it yet.

Another big hold up is lack of guns and turrets. I am currently scratch building a turret but it is slow.

Looks good. Not sure when I'm gonna start fabbing stuff from scratch, I basically just do mods and mash things together right now.

Well this is still largely just meshing things together. I had a set of wheels and a half of a space shuttle fuel tank and they fit together real well so then had to make them into something.

Having to fab my own gun turrets though because I have a severe shortage of guns to add to vehicles.
