Ebbles Longhauler kit-bash

[squirmydad]

Once upon a time I had a giant "Harmless Container" and no vehicle big enough to haul it. The following models are produced and distributed by Christopher and modified by myself. I pulled textures from the Convoy set and enlarged a supercharged engine from the Atlas series. Most of the bed textures are copied straight off of the convoy vehicles.





While I was working on this mod I had another idea and took the front and wheels of a Convoy truck and the rear section of an Onager and combined them to make an ESWAT response van.

Cool kibash of vehicles! It's cool building a truck around a container - allows for so many narrative options. Thanks!

That Harmless Container is genius!  I think this was the first time I had seen it (or something LIKE this) and it cracks me up every time.

squirmydad, do you still have photos of this? I was looking at how you did things and there are a number of parts I am unsure of

EDIT--

Found one in the 2015 Bashers Vote

I fixed the images in the first post and if you need more I can dig out the model. LMK

Thanks. I think I'm going to pretty much steal your fifth wheel layout and flatbed. At lunch I worked on getting my near-white build layout for the tractor. I need to get it cleaner before I do the same to the rear track area tonight.

The way you laid this out is very helpful for the Onager kitbash. I really like the concept of kitbashing some kitbashes of a great model
