The Posh Predator

Description

For my pal, Diana :icon13foxywolf666:

The Posh Predator~ A sixteen wheeled independently run privateer not allied with either Gas Town, Bullet Farm, nor Immortan Joe's Citadel. Seen mostly prowling the wastes to the East between the abandoned bogs once known as "The Green Place" and the Valleys of the Rock Riders, the Posh Predator lives up to her name, as owner - driver Diana Wolf  "The Bloody Dingo Bitch" preys upon the Buzzards whom in turn attempt to prey upon unwary travelers who venture from either Gas Town or Immortan's Citadel, thru the canyons of the Rock Riders and out into the desolate wastes beyond.

Maned by a motley crew of capable Repair and War boys deemed "Mediocre" by Immortan for their not living upto his standards, the Posh Predator becomes more than simply a nuisance for Joe, as several of his trusted Lieutenants in War Rigs were intercepted by Diana Wolf, and hijacked at gun point for their cargoes of Guzzoline, food stuffs, and water from Joe's aquifers, bound for Gas Town and Bullet Farm. Imperator Furiosa once said that Joe should drive the War Rig himself if he wanted to get the shipments through so badly, as Furiosa was perceptvie even early on to recognize the threat that Black and Blood Red Rolls Royce posed prowling the outskirts of the the canyons.

The obise dictator of Gas Town, the dreaded People Eater, was understandably annoyed by the black and red raider as much as Immortan Joe, for without Joe's farmed produce to feed his captive work force, Gas Town would never be able to provide the Citadel and Joe's army with the Guzzoline needed, and whatever strangle hold these sub-human men had on the masses of commons trying to survive would quickly crumble, allowing for another turn of power, and something either man desperately did NOT wish happen! As such, the Fat man accountant mayor of Gas Town, bribed some Rock Riders into taking on a risky job of stopping the she wolf and her damned red Rolls by attempting to trap Diana Wolf in one of the canyons, and bomb her into submission. However the plan failed when Diana was able to batter her way out of the trap using a re-purposed Dozer blade mounted in front of her Royce, and easily pushed the burning hulks meant to stop her, out of the way, as well as unearthing the large boulders stacked behind the hulks to reinforce them with. The path cleared, Diana quickly raised her blade to serve as shield while the Rock Riders pelted her with Thunder Sticks and Molotov Cocktails that proved just as impotent against the black behemoth as the barricade set before it. Diana drove off over what rocks still remained, choking the narrow floor of the canyon with her large star armored wheels, clawing through the debris like a hound looking for a burried bone, and hauling the privateer clear before any of the bike riding Rock Riders could react.

Only that sole attempt to stop the Red Wolf was made by the Fat man, as the cost was a full tanker of Guzzoline equal to the one found on Furiosa's War Rig, as such People Eater begrudgingly paid off the Rock Riders, even for their failed attempt, sighting it was easier to pay them off with fuel rather than dealing with raids from them on top of any problems the Buzzards were already causing The People Eater's ledger with red tallies of lost profits piling up!

Since that time, the privateer wolf has been making a good life for herself and her band of misfit boys by salvaging parts from the wrecks of the Rock Riders and the few Buzzards to come her way, and using these reclaimed bits to further heal and improve her beloved Black and Scarlet Royce, and building it up to what we see now. However one question remained... with regards to who or where the she wolf acquired such a powerful weapon for her War Rig as seen mounted atop her red trailer fortress.. The Black Army Machine Gun which makes even Furiosa nervous just looking at it!

Some say it was a stolen shipment from Bullet Farm bound for the Citadel, while others claim the she wolf might have gotten the military arms from salvaging the remains of military bases either to the South or the far Eastern cities of Melbourne or Sydney, however this is highly unlikely as either of the major cities would have been the first to have been nuked in the Great War, leaving little to nothing usable behind, even some forty years after the collapse of the modern world had taken place.

Yet, there are other rumors with some credibility behind them of another rogue figure who prowls the wastes to the East whom may be responsible for helping to arm The Posh Predator, but details about this other privateer are sketchy at most... Some claim a ghostly rat of pure white gave the she wolf her gift of Daka dakas... Still others say it was the Ghost Rat whom plundered the Bullet Farm arms shipment to the Citadel, and out of friendship, gave the she wolf the machine daka but... these are all simply hear-say.. it's difficult at best to discern facts from myth in these dark times... However one thing IS certain with regards to the Red Dingo and the Ghost Rat... Both are strong willed, kind hearted women whom do not hold any ill against men, save for those whom try to dominate and control others in the manner Immortan Joe and The People Eater do. For those types of men, a grizzly fate is certain in these Road Wars and especially on Fury Road itself shoudl they cross paths with, The Posh Predator!

Just in time for the weekend, here's my newly completed sketchup model of a bodged 1970 Rolls Royce Phantom limousine with a strong Czechoslovakian back of a Tatra T815 multi wheeled - all wheel drive commercial transporter with a mixed tanker - box car trailer suitable for transporting both dry and wet goods of either food stuffs or Guzzoline, all in a George Miller - Mad Max styling as best as I can make it. :XD:

Along with a mixed compliment of Repair and War boys, the Predator is equipped with firstly, a Browning M2A2-HB heavy machine gun of dubious origin, next in the armory below the forecastle is a full compliment of steel prod crossbows, harpoons, spears, and on the inner wall on the opposite side, a full rack of Thunder (Boom) sticks, with a rusty trash can in the forecastle above also loaded with spears, Thunder Sticks, and crossbows.

In the Royce Phantom itself, between the front seats in the gap, we can find a Colt Python in .357 Magnum, and just behind the driver and front passenger seat, slung on a slip knotted cord is a Ruger Ranch Rifle Mini 14. In the glove box we find a Walther P38, and under the driver's seat we have a Ruger Mk2. And lastly in the after castle at the top rear of the trailer we have a swivel mounted Harpoon (Thunderpoon) launcher of similar construction to that found on the forecastle.

For defenses, the dozer plow up front can be raised higher to act as a shield, while all wheels of the Royce Prime Mover are plated with steel stars that serve dual purpose... protect the tyres from damage... and aid in traction in bad conditions as the wheels dig in.

Next along the sides of the trailer we have Razor Wire and especially along the forecastle, rusty steel spikes to deter boarding hostiles. And lastly full steel boiler plate armor skirts to protect the trailer wheels. Also it should be noted that the empty van shell placed over the tanker portion of the trailer serves as tunnel for the War Boys to travel from front to back forts, as well as a cover for the tanker and make it that more difficult to board and siphon off cargo. The spigots to the tanker below are shorter in height than the frame rails, thus protecting them from collision damage, and those spigots are covered with lock covers that need a special long steel bar key to remove in order to reach the valves for unloading of contents, making hijacking extremely difficult, especially while on the move.

Well that's your Posh Predator Diana dear, I hope you like her? She was a shit ton of fun to make, and it got me into the whole Mad Max universe all over again. So after I watch MM and The Road Warrior again with hubby, we'll look into getting Fury road from Walmart or something to complete the collection.  =D And yeah, I can't forget about Tina Turner, Mel Gibson, Thunder Dome either.... :XD:

The story makes it even better. :la: And I love the Dingo Bitch nickname. You read my mind on that one. ;) Of course my MM self would be human, but still a big canine lover!

This turned out simply brilliant! Every detail is to die for, and I kinda squeed at the inclusion of the War Boys! :aww: Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this gorgeous beast. :tighthug:
