THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT

I have a few here I figured I would share. Anyone else dabble with crud like this? My first is my Dodge Ram technical for the apocalypse. Second is a poster I made in Iraq, those of you who have been to Al Asad may recognize the scenery. And the final picture is my attempt at air dropping troops into a devastated city, viewed from street level. Comments and critique welcome. I admit they are rough, but I have lost the .psd files when a hard drive crashed so I cannot remedy that!

I like the last one best.

Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.

Besides, everyone knows a proper technical is built around a Toyota Hilux.

Yeah, a Hilux is the standard, but this was something I cobbled together from quite a few sources. The running gear/front bumper/desert is from an '03 race truck. The body itself is a 2011 model. The windshield louvers are from an MRLS, while the window bars are from a rusty piece of steel multiple times over. The ZSU came from someplace else and was a ground mount. The dirt, dust, grime was all added later with various brushes and layers until I was somewhat happy with it. I might be missing some things but it was about a year and a half ago that I was playing with it.

I am afraid that is all I have at the moment. Wait a sec. I got one more, but this is more of a pre-apocalypse. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has been here...

The truck needs fewer body panels and more spikes though. Definitely needs a some kind of blockade clearing spikes/ram on the front too, like this:
