Post-Apoc Mocstring!

Post by Dr. X » Sat Sep 20, 2008 7:04 pm

Recently I went on a post-apocalyptic building spree. Because I felt like it. So here are the results.

First off, a post-apoc rickshaw. In post-apocalyptic Japan, a survivor took an ancient rickshaw and modified it. First, he added a third wheel, two belt-drive motors and a fuel tank. Then he started strapping scrap metal/wreckage all over the cab, and added a crude steering mechanism. It barely looks like a rickshaw now.

Next, a post-apocalyptic dog sled (I'm ordering dogs on bricklink and they'll be here soon, but for now here it is without them). Alaskan survivors took to the wilderness with this overhauled sled, adding a scrap metal cabin and even small self-built rocket boosters on the sides. If the dogs are killed in the event of a zombie attack, the survivor just presses a button which ignites the fuel slug (a solid block of some type of fuel) inside the booster. After about a minute, though, the fuel slug burns out and he needs to get out and replace it. Steering is performed with a small third ski underneath.

Yay! Opening doors!
Image


The megaphone is connected to the inside, so the survivor can shout "MUSH!!" without leaving the safety of the cabin.

Here's the post-apocalyptic Battle Volkswagen of Doom, edition 3. I added scrap metal plating, a grate on the front, and other things. The figs are also better.

The gun is still 70-cal and still the same.

The net holds the sheet metal in place.

The last vehicle in the Mocstring is a set I modificated. I have these awesome spring-suspension pieces I traded from a fat friend, and I put them on to it, resulting in sproingy awesomeness. Also added was a grate and some metal/wood.

The minifig is Wil' Bill, the craziest survivor in the west. He shoots things, and jumps over things, and crashes into things.

That's all, folks! Tune in next time, for another

a) The brick festival {actually NWBrickCon '08} hasn't happened yet. But I do plan to bring all or some of these to contribute to the Zombie Apocafest happening there.

b) It comes in the this set, the Tie Bomber. I was lucky enough to get one on sale a TRU for 10 bucks.

well.
I think a quote from the tourrettes guy best fits my reaction to this:

These are some of the most creative post-Apoc vehicles I've seen recently. Anyone can modify a truck into a post-apoc killing machine, but it takes a bit more creativity to do the same for a rickshaw or dog sled.

I love the rickshaw the most, it is awesome.
Act first, then think, then try to find a way to cover up the horrible mess you made.

Nice MOCs by the way. Will you use them in a battle?

When these photos went by in my RSS feeds this morning I actually thought they were part of a Brothers-Brick post about some fancy new builders they wanted to spotlight (I don't always read the B-B posts very closely, obviously). Then I came to the forum and thought you'd stolen them. You bastard!

Anyway nice work.

No, I made/designed 'em myself. Although I did post them on Flickr, that's probably why they were RSS'd to you.

Well, I'm bringing some of them to BrickCon, but some will probably find their way into a battle sometime, yeah.

Nah, I've got all the forum threads feeding out by RSS through the Smartfeed button at the top of the page.
