Its the Scythe coming down with a strafing run on the Sundy..
yup - saying "coming in from behind" sounds wrongQuote:

I am not completely happy with the giraffe paint job - the masking is very difficult and needs a lot more time and effort and the correct masking material to get 100%
needless to say - slowly but surely.
If anyone happens to have a pair of those wheels lying around, please let me know - I am 2 short
colour, wow makes it EPIC double amazaballs
The outside shell is pretty much finished, it now remains for details and wiring and extra bits and pieces to be finished, adjusted and finalized.
Lookin slick Flyyy! It really looks amazing, well done. Looks exactley like your proposed picture.
Wow, Mike. That is looking seriously impressive!! Can't wait to see it once everything is built into it.
That looks really great. Next one could have a Star Wars theme to it. You could be famous :D
Geez Fly, come on man, you could make those cables neat! Looks like the poor truck's guts are peeling out of itself... Eish man! Otherwise, it looks good. ;-)
But is it art?
i know - most of those cables are gonna be sliced off :)Quote:

How's the competition looking by the way?
talking about target practise

I have combined the spawn upgrade with the on switch and the grenade launchers are actually UV LEDs.
You can see the inlet and outlet from the water block on the mobo above.
The funny broken "condoms" over the tubes is a latex masking compound which is fantastic as a protective layer.
Looking fantastic there Fly. Keep it up bro!
Fly, I unfortunately don't have spare wheels, but what I found this weekend and when I saw it I thought :"Aaah, tank tracks for Fly..." (I actually bought it for another purpose, but tank-tracks sounds cooler than the real purpose I've bought it for).Quote:

wont be in time for the sundy - but maybe the next project :)
I have gotten far enough to be happy with taking photos for the competition. :)
That looks amazing, Fly. Wow!!
Any chance you could take a couple of shots showing the components (underside of the Shrike, through the Sundy?
I'm keen to see how you got a working computer into that model.
hi drags, at this stage, as soon as i read the rules, it is the outside i concentrated on finishing last night so that i can at least take photos. The inside is a hodge podge of wires and a mish mash of materials. I will certainly take a photo of the inside, in its its non glory, which is a good idea because then i can have a before and after shot :)
I still need to come up with a 100 word personal blurb and maybe even a YouTube video for the judges. (and still post all my photos and videos)
plus there are still ideas for finer details i want to implement. Like "broken" headlights that run off the HDD header (flash when HDD in use) and more exploded drivers cab (cockpit for the sundy)
(dont let skoups see these) - they will be the "before" shots :O
I haven't had the time to neaten anything up inside as the pics are due before lunch tomorrow and I have been concentrating on getting the outside done.
at the moment there is no cd rom, but i am toying with the idea of having it between the wheels facing sideways underneath the red "resupply" station.
very nice fly! BTW, in my view, CD-roms and DVD-roms are overrated, just use USB.
i hear you skoups, good thinking , an external can always be used at a later stage - depends on what this is actually going to be used for.Quote:

actually skoups, I am missing a few wheels, I was given four, the sundy needs 6, I lost 1 and bought another 4 that aren't even close to what I want, but time pressure, and the intention to break and maim the bought ones are what you are seeing. The wheels are supposed to look the worse for wear, as the sundy has been in battle.
edit - if you are talking about the worn one at the top of the pic, it is an "on road" tyre that is almost new (been in a box at back of shop for a few hundred years. :)
some of the pics from this afternoons shooting :)
Awsum awsum stuff Flyyyyy! Love the pic in the "canyon" :P
thanks russian :)
NOW - please vote
please vote (once a day per verified email addy) :)

WOW! Incredible work fly!
:thumbsup:
thanks phats :)
spanks Phats
If anyone has any ideas to get the voting viral, please let me know :)
So cool - hopefully posting on the PS2 site will help make it go viral . . .

It looks great fly! Juicy, awed voted casted. You have to win this :)
thanks :)
Fly, sorry herewith a very dumb question, but where do you plug in the monitor and a dedicated GPU? That gap there looks awefully thight.
Ps, I also voted...
PPs, making it viral... ask Jonno / Lee to make a you-tube video and put a good sound track on top of it
PPs, you-tube video should preferably have some real game footage included as well... especially if you could perhaps get a scythe / sundy in the same configuration in game as what you have designed.
PPPs, if yuo want to make it reallyl viral... include some nice models asking people to get behind them and also vote for it...
mmmmmm, dedicated gpu - might never happen,
VGA connection - easy peasy - but that was one of the many things that kept me awake at night for ages - i managed to find a modular vga cable in my pile of stuff that had a plastic cover that comes apart instead of the moulded in vga cable cover. IE - i took apart the cable cover and hey presto - a file VGA coneection that i re-"sleaved" in heat shrink plastic - it works :)
OH ya - that same cable actually has a male coneection on the other end - so it is a true vga extension cable - and if you look carefully you can see it rolled up behind the model in the pic against the sand
nice ideas for the viral - now to go ask with battered eyelids :)
other ideas to making it viral....
1. Submit a myth to the Mythbusters and ask them to test that it is indeed possible to build a computer mod like that using only 3rd world country components.
2. ensure you link to the video from various sites, including the competition site if at all possible.
3. link the video in youtube, twitter, facebook, linkedin, and any where else you can think of
4. mass spam your inbox asking them to check it out and to share the video with their buddies
5. include some bikini models in the video that is doing the talking.... no offence but a Fly with "battering eyelids" just doesn't do it for the audience that may be interested in computer mods....
6. you want to make it viral, you need to act quickly, yet well co-ordinated
7. the more hits , and the faster your hits, in a specific time frame, the higher the video will rank in websites promoting videos and the faster it will grow. In other words, get a co-ordinated attack going.
8. make contact with some of the Duck's underground friends who knows people, who knows people, who reallly knows people, who can hack the crap out of a site and just register hit after hit on the video. (all is fair in love and war)
9. ask some of our local software experts to write some scripts that will assist Lee's friends...
10. The best way to achieve point 8 and 9 is to tell them you don't think they can pull it off. Reverse physcology.
11. Increase the bribe to Jono and Lee on the movie, sorry, can't see that battering eyelids is sufficient
