White7000 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Hello guys! Does anybody remember one crazy movie by Stephen King "MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE"? Here is old White 9000 wrecker from this movie.
gino Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 I remember that movie ! you nailed it , great work !
hgbben Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Awesome work. Where is the blood and guts effect?
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Now that's my kind of build!! Some folks prefer the customs, I like the old workhorses!! Excellent Work!!!
gatorincebu Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 That is one mighty fine build. you really nailed the truck in that movie. good job. Be Well Gator
Jim B Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Never saw the movie, but that's an awesome build.
Old Buckaroo Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 This is one spectacular build ! So much on this truck that catches my eye from the rounded fenders, headlights, louvered grill - Wow ! I cant believe you got that cummins stuffed in there, the cab must have a doghouse comparable to a cabover. Really, really nice work !
guitarsam326 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Awesome build...my favorite truck from the movie!
Superpeterbilt Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Awesome build! My memory must be failing me, as I dont remember this truck in the movie. I remember the Autocar, the B model that blows up, and of course the Western Star with the green face. Excellent job. Im interested to know what kit this started as, and what you built the hood and fenders from. My guess is a Diamond Reo with modified Autocar A64B fenders?
Petetrucker07 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) ^^Terry, it was the air start wrecker that was trying to get the "Just Married" couple at the gas station. In the movie it has busted out headlight, probably from somebody's head, and a bent bumper. I really remember hearing the air starter. Edited December 15, 2015 by Petetrucker07
anarximis Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 ive been thinking about that truck for awhile now but couldn't think of how that boom worked so now ive got something to work from but mine i plan on making it look like the one in the movie, and great job
anarximis Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 oh yeah do you have any tip on building this truck with the short hood and all that (did the kit have opening doors or did you do that yourself)
truckabilly Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Never seen the movie but that is very well executed "movie hero". I like that boom very much, just as the features. Nice job.
disabled modeler Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 I must have watched that movie 50 times...LOL... there is some cool trucks in it.
cowboy rich Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Seeing this makes me wish someone would play the movie for a truck reminder. Beautiful work.Rich
White7000 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 Thanks everybody for your coments!This truck was made from Diamond Reo kit. I used only chassis (shortered), cab and engine. Other parts are made by myself: hood, fenders, grille, bumper, cab interior, air filter, fuel tanks (right one was taken from GMC Astro kit), wrecker boom.I desided to make it without blood because of my children. Lets imagine the truck was like this a few weeks before the moovie.I'm glad you like it!
SpreadAxle Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Outstanding work! I like the fact that you built a truck that only makes a brief appearance in the movie rather than one of the "main characters" so to speak. You definitely captured it.
Rigzndiesel Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Wow, This is a fantastic replica! From the nose of the truck to the mudflaps, you captured all the details! Amazing!!!
