Egyptian Raider Pickup with Tomb Trailer


Recommended Posts

small update, decided that it needed at least two batteries for the hydros and that a good spot would be under the bed attached to the frame. There will be one on either side.

this is pretty much the final design of the bed of the truck, its cramped with a lot going on but it has all that it needs three amps, three speakers, two hydro pumps and will have the cylinders coming up thru the bed just in front of the cylinders...

No update for a while, finally decided that the mess in the model laboratory was getting to be to much, could not even find half of the pieces I needed or the little pieces for the project so I cleaned it up.....

as far as the build goes about the only thing been working on is deciding the final design of the bed of the truck so I decided to do a foam surround on the top of the bed like I did on the last two builds.... and here is the final design of that bed cover....

I had one piece left from cutting the pyramid and liked how it looked, only had one piece so I decided to use the silly putty method to mold 1 piece for the other side so I did not have to make a mold that I would never use again, silly putty is perfect for that.

this is just an idea as there is a lot of going on any way with all the decoration but playing around with ideas...

Carl, thank you, the truck will be that aztec gold from the testors one coat lacquer, the 32 will be either gloss black or flat black and the trailers black as well. Trying to figure out some sort of graphics to go on the truck and 32 thou.

Brian, this is a another of my themed builds like my Aztec warrior and hell train, this one however is called the Egyptian raider, kinda like a tomb raider that goes around Egypt looting Egyptian tombs. It started out as a simple truck and trailer then I collected more stuff then it went to a truck trailer and 32 , then to what it is now a truck, two trailers, and a 1932 car. I got a little crazy on this one.

Thanks guys.

quick update:
getting the inner fenders put together and see if the interior will pass thru, will try that next time as they were not dry to handle yet.

also to cover the hinge tubes on the under side of the hood carved out some foam and if space allows will add this piece to it, if it does clear the top of the engine but will figure that out as It gets closer to being finished.
