1:1 scratch building

[Buckeye]

A friend of mine took these the other day in Union Gap, WA

Those creations are so incredibly amazingly fugly that only
the guys who built them could love them.

I wish I had the skills to build models of them …
@Stickframe Nick, some inspiration for you

[Pawel]

See? That’s not true, you love them too! I love them too!

Reminds me of this M3 Grant tank converted into a bulldozer post-war in Australia

These are almost certainly within your capabilities; I came across them looking for an illustration for the “Custom Car” thread…

It’s already a quite popular genre

Suitable kits and aftermarket bits are readily available

Cheers,

He’s got them parked out back for ref ideas

I wish I had the discipline to actually finish some of the projects I start…
@Buckeye That top photo (IMG_1906) looks like a Cranemobile I started building in 2006 but never finished. Actually still benchside.
