Gaslands: Not so beat up!

I wanted to have a try at a couple of cars that were not so battle damaged for this pair, so went for a fairly pristine, but still dirty, paint job on them.

2020 Ram 1500 Rebel


The first one is a 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 Rebel, using twin machine guns, ram, launchers and some armour from the Implements of Carnage One frame plus a couple of barrels from the Implements of Carnage Two frame. The additional armour was trimmed with some right angle styrene sections.


I wanted this to look like the vehicle used by a police department, but kitted out for the job in apocalyptic times. 
 

None of my usual rust effects were used in the creation of this beast ;) 


AMC Rebel Machine


Another almost factory fresh one, in a shocking orange colour scheme. This one was kitted out entirely from the Implements of Carnage One frame, with driver, ram, spare tyre and rockets added.


Even though the original Rebel Machines were underpowered I wanted to kit this out to look fast, so the ram acts as a splitter and the rockets seem more aerodynamic than a machine gun. The driver is kitted out in Nomex and a racing helmet although it does not show well in the photos.


When taking the photos I noticed that I had a fail sticking it back together and it looks like the trunk is open, maybe that is what that tyre is for!

Plenty of hazard warning on this pair, other racers are not so considerate.

Thanks to Martin for lending his mat and backdrop for the photos.
