Building an armored airsoft vehicle

4 months ago we posted some pictures of our battlecar project to Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/comments/vrl1il/photos_of_rebuilding_our_airsoft_battlecar/

Some general information about the project and the costs. The whole project costed around 4000 euros. The most expensive things were the steel, locks(2x Abloy classic) and paints (Imron Elite). Luckily we were able to use some of the steel sheets from the old box. For welding we used around 6000 liters of Argon gas and too many spools of wire. We also had to fabricate some custom parts, such as the steps below the rear doors.

It all started in 2016 when we bought the vehicle. Back then we were going to build it for the Berget 14 event.

But for many reasons we decided to start from scratch:

Here are all the pictures from the 2022 project: https://gallery.ehasa.org/albums/eb-20/ and from the 2016 project: https://gallery.ehasa.org/albums/building-eb/

Some gameplay footage with the new car from the Berget 18 milsim event:

Original video from 2016:

Old box.
Frame getting built.
Frame ready and wall plates are welded in.
Installing doors. We’re planning on installing small windows on the doors as soon as we find decent glass for it.
Sandblasting.
Sandblasted and seams are sealed with body filler.
Painted. This is how we drove it to the Berget-event
In action at Berget. Notice the cool steps we got for the rear doors. Also we installed 2 flood light son each side and 2 on the rear.
Lights and air conditioning working.
The white paint really helps..
