Snatch conversion

Okay, who's going to be first to click on *that* link?

I think Bill should…it's like a live mine just sitting there grin

I was expecting to see Turk and the crew. Only slightly disappointed. ;)

It was almost going to be a scratch 'Snatch'. But as you can see, I got my hands on an Italian model instead. Doing the back door was the hardest part.

That's not a very clean snatch.

andygamer17 Feb 2009 5:12 p.m. PST

If I might get a bit serious here, do you use the TWaT rules modified for moderns?

StarfuryXL517 Feb 2009 6:37 p.m. PST

That's not a very clean snatch.

Probably because of all the activity with the back door.

Man, you guys crack me up!

Cacique Caribe17 Feb 2009 10:26 p.m. PST

Ay, ay, ay. I knew I shouldn't have ventured into this thread.

Like a moth to a flame, I guess.

It looks like WALL-E is about to ambush them in the 3rd pic!

So you trouble 'bashing the back doors in'?

Snigger.

what is the link for , i am NOT clicking on it in work ?

andygamer18 Feb 2009 10:57 a.m. PST

It's a Safe For Work conversion job on a soft-skinned vehicle, kreoseus2, I think of a civilian toy vehicle into a militarized, "moderns" one.

It shows a Snatch, obviously :-) Censored version here (4th photo, scroll down)

''It looks like WALL-E is about to ambush them in the 3rd pic!'' It is indeed Wall-e, who has crept up to the snatch unawares…..

Now come on, playing with TWaT is just a Bush-baiting game.

I think that snatch needs a trim, looks a little rough.

Isn't cheesecloth usually used for camo netting. The model looks like it has been covered in coconut frosting.

Cacadores18 Feb 2009 2:29 p.m. PST

Crusoe,

Fair enough, first attempt. Still, have a look a real snatch:
link cheesecloth doesn't really cover it: and coconut frosting sounds tasty. Be interested to see how you do it.

By John 5419 Feb 2009 3:30 a.m. PST

Crusoe, I think Cacadores has it right on the camo netting, its a much denser 'weave' for the desert pattern, and, I think its looks great IMHO.

By John 54,

At least someone with a sensible comment. I think the rest of you might be the type my mother warned me against.

Thanks that man. It's more like shredded plastic sheeting, than netting: you can't see the snatch through it. The Snatch is a Vixen.

…I can tell you.

wish someone would make these in 20mm

archstanton7330 Jun 2009 5:11 p.m. PST

20mm snatch……Don't S&S do that or even Brittania???

Supercilius Maximus01 Jul 2009 4:13 a.m. PST

According to a friend in the Army, the real reason it's called a "snatch" is because only a complete c-c-c-cabinet minister would think it was safe to drive round in one in a war zone.

6paul608 Jul 2009 3:35 p.m. PST

20mm snatch no one does 1 that enquired about s&s, britannia,cmsc or rhmodels still on the look out though these are the only companys that do modern brits that i know of any help will be appreciated
