Darren B Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) 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....

Darren B Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Thanks Chris, 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 This is the degree of the warp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren B Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks Augie, still trying to finish up my other build the Aztec warrior but came Across some more goodies for this build.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 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.

Darren B Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 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!!!

Darren B Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 thanks Pim, tiny update found more stuff for the raider, and getting closer on the roof cut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 well after going thru about 6-9 trucks decided to go with the 1965 chevy pickup, getting some resin casting on and finally getting a feel for this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 ok getting back into this one, spent some time opening up the doors, I really did not want to do it but it gives such good access to the interior by doing this so I went for it. also playing with ideas for the trailer with the 32 on it which I will call the pharaohs rat rod, it wont leave much space for the other goodies taken from the tomb but ill figure that one out later......

Randy D Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hi Darren, I always enjoy watching your builds develope !!! Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Thanks Randy, i finally got around to getting back to this one. Finally getting somewhere on this build and have a small update. decided to go for cutting out the doors.... this is just an idea for the doors, it may stay this way or go another route, this is the part of the build of just playing around with it to gain ideas....... another idea for the bed, mocking it up and toying with ideas.... mock up of the engine, mummy machine air cleaner and pulleys from the ends of guitar strings, they are gold so that will work out good with the overall look and paint job which should be off the wall on this one i hope.

bill_67 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Very much looking forward to following this build, and I'm hoping you're your going to build that 32 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks Bill yes going to do something with it finding out its a horribly engineered kit the dash board does not even come close to fitting the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Small update i gave up on the 65 and went back to the 50 chevy and here a little update, getting work done on cleaning up parts and working on trailer. A few different ideas for the trailer... making an interior with a hieroglyphic back drop may do that on the 32 as well.

hjracing Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Like ever, you take the custom models to another level! Amaizing job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Thanks Jose I usually do been having a real hard time with inspiration on this, done a lot of searching on line and see a lot of the artifacts that came from the tombs and the tombs them selves but very hard to wrap it all together in a model format. Even easier getting inspiration for the strippers delight (short of hitting a strip club that is) but this one not so much......
