This is the last thing that I should be doing but have had this idea for a while and while shopping for more gamer bits came across a piece i could not pass up that added to it so I bought it and will start this now.....Not sure if it will stay a 50 chevy, may try a 55 ford pickup but this 50 model gives the general idea i have for the truck, may add a trailer, may not, time will tell..
still working hard on the Aztec Warrior but re inspired by Egyptian treasure gamer piece i found today....
hopefully will get a start on it soon rockin562 have three major builds going at the same time,
here are all the gamer pieces assembled for this build...
Thanks for the comments guys, I probably wont use all the plastic relics, and will be using a trailer for the truck and will put most of those pieces in the back of the trailer, but wont be as heavy as the 1941 chevy i just built and finished last year, with all the metal gamer pieces, with the trailer it weighs over 5lbs! http://modelsinc.yolasite.com/hell-train-page-2.php Its this one from my website called the hell train, i used a lot of gamer pieces that are made out of metal, I was worried about it being too heavy for its suspension.
This is the idea that I have in mind for the trailer for this build. Hence the name Egyptian Raider! Have all the loot in the trailer taken from a tomb!
Ok I finally decided on a truck for this build. I was undecided for a while for a number of reasons, but have decided that the revell '56 ford will work, I like the shape of the cab and roof line for this project, plus it already has opening doors that will save me a lot of time creating working doors for this build.
The only thing I do not like is the fact that after buying three kits to get a kit that is not warped in the cab or frame area, which in all three kits need a lot of work to straighten the frame and cab area. That sucks but can be overcome.
Kool sofar. I did a theme just like this a long time ago. Didnt put no where as much work as you do in mine. But It made LRB mag back in the day. It was a 1970 Impala.
halfasskustoms, do you still have the model or pics of it, would love to see it. I used to have all the LRBs and they got away from me, as a side note i wish they would start it back up again. I used to love that mag..........
I am close to starting this one (outside of just collecting pieces for it) , just been trying to get the other one out of the way, the aztec warrior but have so much to do on that one may start working on this one in between....
Yes I do. The pics arent great. Infact I need to take better ones to you and everyone can see all the details better. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
So here's the details. In the center console there's the Sphinx, have a snake steering wheel and shifter. The motor has a intake of a coffin and lil pyramids in the motor bay......
awesome build halfasskustoms. Love it.
my new years res is to finish the aztec warrior, the strippers delight and this one. Decided that there was way to much work on the revell 56 ford due to warpage and the fit of the doors so im going with this truck the amt 53 ford pickup.
I am on the final leg of finishing the Aztec Warrior so I am getting a renewed interest in this build. I have had a problem getting inspiration for this one and have gone thru 5 different trucks for this build but am settling on the 1950 chevy, i am starting to carve the Egyptian eye in the roof. here is where I am at now and more to come now that the aztec is 95% done.....
jewelry piece fits perfect as a headlight surround piece!!!
actually you are right Ill have to find one now, I had one but like an idiot i sold it at a swap meet not thinking I would ever use it look at me now, trying to find one as we speak.
thanks guys, got my mummy machine model kit on order should be here this week, tiny update found more stuff for the raider, and getting closer on the roof cut out.
but was thinking that if i take the parts from the mummy machine it would destroy that kit have been thinking of adding another trailer behind the one for the egyptian raider having a third trailer carrying the mummy machine, that may be going way over the top but will see.
