Following some unfortunate arena incidents with the original model, and having received feedback from duelists, TPDG have redesigned the original Contaminator to offer this micro-missile armed, fireproof variant with improved handling. With excellent handling, high acceleration and good top speed this re-imagined compact should give a good account of itself in Division 15.
Contaminator-M -- Compact, Heavy chassis, Heavy suspension, Large power plant, Fire Extinguisher, 4 Fireproof Puncture-Resistant Radial tires, Driver w/Fireproof Suit and BA, 2 Linked Micromissile Launchers Front, Spoiler, Fireproof Plastic Armor: F35, L30, R30, B30, T15, U15, Gear Allocation: [90 lbs. @ Accel 5/Top Speed 117.5 (20 lbs. @ Accel 10)], Acceleration 10, Top Speed 120, HC 4 (5 @60mph), 3980 lbs., $14880
That's right - I finally finished these cars. I started off today thinking that all I need to do was painted the missile launchers, but then realised that I hadn't done the inserts or chassis. So, a certain amount of extra work needed to be done, but I got there in the end.
I'm really pleased with how the paint job on the bodies came out. Using the transparent paints sprayed lightly over highly-polished bare metal has given a very nice metallic effect. However, it does take quite a bit of work to achieve that polish so it won't be a regular event.
Looking good.
ReplyDeleteColourful. My car will never again look as good as these.
ReplyDeleteMost excellent work Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Tamsin. Your recent posts have really got me hooked on collecting some cars myself.

I'll take 3. Do they have cup holders?
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous Tamsin.
ReplyDelete@ Clint - thanks! :)
ReplyDelete@ SRD(H) - cheers! I'm sure your car could look just as good if you strip it down to the bare metal, polish it to a mirror shine, spray it with transparent paint and mount a (dummy) missile launcher on the roof ;)
@ Anne - thank you m'dear :)
@ Dean - cheers! And glad to have been a bad influence :)
@ Brendon - yeah, baby! Cheers! :)
@ Herbert - cup holders are among the options. However, they may be listed as "Grenade Holding Rings" :)
