Backstory:
Even after so much year after the World War II, the idea of a fast deploy vehicle wasn't disspeared. It became a thing so usual and necessery like a gas-mask in ARW.
Mostly we saw only battle machines, wich day to day fights in the battlefield to somehow save and protect the last ruins of civilization. But what about those who are behind the frontlines. Who helps out our troops of Agurts?
Medics, enginers even the last remains of postal service, who helps the soldiers contact with their homies?
These people risks thier lives every time while the on the run between bases troops and equiment and service centers right behind the frontline. And it is essential to do this "run" on a - little, un-noticeable, fast vehicle.
And here comes the little D.U.V. A Defense Unit Vehicle, wich is a modernised version of a British Airborne Forces vehicle "Welbike":

It is a common thing that every vehicle in ARW can transform in a battle machine wich provide a heavy support for the troops.
Even this little D.U.V has its ability.
Riding so close to the frontlines can be dangerous so it can transform into battle-gear to transform a medic or an eginier or anybody else int a "defense unit" =)

So here it is how "Duffy" transforms:

Well..after my Shoebox truck this is really a minisized vehicle..Honestly I was thinking something more "presentable"..but I have no idea 'yet' how to scratch-build hinges. Maybe someday =)

Sounds awesome... pics are way too big and take forever to load and then time out and become little x's for me though.

Now that is BADASS!

I can totally see this being in the ARW

Thank you man! :animal:
I was really afriad that this custom may not meet the rules. But it did! :)

Agreed! this is badass! and literally scratch built? Kudos man!!

Thx! :thumbsup:
Well...it is a scratch build.
Cardboard, toothpicks, drinking straws, tonn of super-glue))), 2 cable holders and 1 nail =)? some hair-bands and velcro pieces too.
The only pre-made details is the logos. (88 and the chick on the armor plate) - its from the ARW Speeder mkII pics...mesuared, printed, cutted and glued on the "Duffy")

I had issues as well. Tried again and got half X's.

Thx...I'm glad you like it =)

That is VERY creative and thinking OUTSIDE the box. Bravo!

Thank you NSA! =)
I have no idea why...but when I first read about the contest I immediatly remembered the Welbike.

I'll be honest...the "great" idea - was to build a container unit, on wheels...wich can be used as a container or transport for cargo or troops. I thought to try to make this little scooter the driving unit of this containers. (the little bike just ride inside of it and stands in the premade sockets)
But at the final stage of the custom plan - I decided to stay only with the Welbike ARW mod =)...

Lol! I think the secrets out now,lol. But between you and I...I got at least 50 of them that way too:D that's between us tho,don't tell anyone***pinky swear***

I'm still tripping off this custom. It's so far outside the box it's killing the game just off originality.

This is so cool. The concept alone is very imaginative and needed in the verse. Fits in well.

The transformation puts this guy over the top though. Great work.

Thanks Meddatron! I really appreaciate that.

Okay, I'll try to keep it as a secret :D
But maaan...50!?! If you only need the figures..maybe you'll be so kind and pass me 1 or 2 VAMPS, huh? Just kidding))))))
Even if I just imagine your SBD collection - its a nice little army you got there.
And - Thx again =)

Here ya go,so you don't have tk waste your imagination:D



^
Those are my "off duty" SBD. I realized after 20 or so that my chest isn't big enough on top to display them all,that,and dust...so half of them are in a drawer(guns&knives in separate bags)

Here's the top of my chest(that should look familiar to a lot of people,I use that backdrop for eBay listings):



^
Those I actually play with. they're either used prior to my acquisition or have a slight defect. I take them outside in the woods and play with my youngest son also.

I also have around 25 or so in my family room above the fireplace...they're scattered around pics of my family..I have some very pretty daughters that are grown,and I know how guys can be,so no pics of that,lol.

Lol,you're a trip.


That's pretty much my collection tho,which is sad:( I sold off 99% of my stuff thinking I was done. I only kept them,and 10 of each of his repaints..CCN,shocktrooper,....and a few random figures like MU Black widow..stuff like that.

That's another reason I lol @ that other site. They cry when they have to pay eBay prices for a htf figure. I only paid retail for about 30 of those,had to buy a shit ton of vamps,got cought in the moment more then a few times at auction. I'm slowly rebuilding my collection with this wave 4 figures,was able to aquire a few dozen night vipers so far,and some black troopers at DG.feels good to be able to get a figure I like on the way home.


keep up the customs man! I'll be keeping my eye on your posts:D

And Doulox if you see this? BOOYAH!! IN YOUR FACE!! lol. Top that shit! lolololololol

You could just trade/sell all of those to get your collection back. Or pay off your mortgage.

Remeber - toys are the thing - wich is never done ;)
Even with my 25 years I have a situation when I thought I have to end with all of this.
You know what? - I more than sure I won't ever stop. I'll always do or buy something from a toy source (sure mostly military figures or vehicles) - because it is my hobby. Thing wich help to relax, to put my mind and thoughts in a straight line and just make my soul rest from the shit all around.

Thats good my friend. There are plenty of toy source where you can buy stuff to rebuild your collection and I really hope you will. :)

keep up the customs man! I'll be keeping my eye on your posts:D

Sure I will =)
I have some coming soon...so be ready to check them out :wave:

I think he won't do this :D
I've noticed 1 intresting thing. There are collectors (even those who open them up and play with toys - is kinda of collectors..so anyway) - who prefers a figure or its versions more than any other figure from the whole bunch. Maybe somebody likes like Contraband - the new SBD figure. Or somebody loves the Alley Viper...and so and so and so. Its just a thing of taste I think.
Everybody has its own philosophy of collecting.

Sacrilege! When I die,my youngest son inherits all. My SBD will NEVER see the secondary market by my hands,and I doubt my boy will ever sell them
What's a mortgage? I'm old man,that stuffs long behind me.:D
