The Ouster (Post-Apocalyptic)

[SirNadroj]

A post-apocalyptic hearse from hell; I made it a priority to make something post-apoc. for the Brickfair display.

Ooh, very sinister. It reminds me of the end of the book "Needful things" by Stephen King.

Your going to brickworld? What will you display? ANyway nice vehicle, doesn't really seem post-apoc though.

I agree that it's not post-apoc but it is very good

Thanks for the feedback guys.

However, I am going to have to totally disagree with the statments that claim this is not post-apoc. It's not the sterotypical post-apoc., but let's break what the theme is about - we all know it is the speculative genere illustrating what would happen after the end of the world. It's generally depicted in LEGO using lots of grays and browns - we've all seen them - heavy, industrial convoy vehicles or tanks. This is simply a different take on the theme - perhaps an even more plausible one. This is a hearse that was salvaged during judgment day, then "tricked out" to take on zombies. Hopefully this makes sense. I trust you know I wouldn't make something with the intentions of it being one theme, and have it turn out having no relation to its intended theme whatsoever.

Thanks for clearing that up. It's nice to see some people don't just get mad at you for for criticizing something.

It's good to see that you are doing a different style of post-apoc, I did the same with my post-apoc creations, except took them the other way into the fantastic.

I do really like it too, probably one of the best hearse designs I've seen. However, as you have written yourself it was salvaged and tricked up, but it shows no sign of any wear and tear from either the "end of the world" or from previous zombie encounters. I'd reckon it would be better to have not browns and grays, but just a little more, like a missing light or blood stained front to show what it is. As it stands, it just doesn't sit right with me. Either that or give it a backstory explaining its state. Still a pretty good hearse though.

To the Brickmobile!

Ok, I'll go out there then and say he washed it. That, or it was stored in a special underground bunker when the a-bomb or h-bomb or whatever went off.
