Darren B Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Added a few skulls up top. Can't have enough skulls on this build! Edited April 4, 2011 by Darren B
DiscoSpud Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 I have an idea, see if you can convince a Games Workshop guy to give you a Skull or a skeleton warriors sprue, you could use these parts to make unique parts like a shift lever made out of a femur with a skull atop it? Just an idea but this build is definately headed in a creepy, messed up direction and I like it, keep going mate, i'm behind ya all the way!

Totally impressed with what the games store had from the reapers collection, didnt find any bones yet but will go back friday for more. Not sure on placement of the axes but will probably make a rack to hold them in the cab..... Edited April 5, 2011 by Darren B
Mooneyzs Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 This thing just keeps getting cooler. Loving the progress of this.Your hindge set up looks really nice. Also nice and clean with that foam in there. Keep up the great work.
Dr. Cranky Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Wow, it's like you are having WAY TOO MUCH FUN! Perfect! Keep it going.
Darren B Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Had some more time to work on this last night. May have to come up with something else for a seat now as there is no more room for the current one. That or I need to find some smaller skulls. Also made a hood ornament as well.
DiscoSpud Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Looking great mate, I love the lattice work on the step pannels!
Darren B Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Thanks everyone for the comments. Not much to update, spent the whole night trying to figure out where to put the weapons, and decided the seat was too big and any seat back would cover must of the detail from the back of the cab. So I decided to make a new seat with no back. That way all the detail should show thru. Some of the weapons will be on the doors and some hanging from the dashboard. Edited April 11, 2011 by Darren B
Darren B Posted April 13, 2011 Author Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks Kevin, making some barb wire to place on the vehicle somewhere. Also mocking up the steering wheel and dashboard. The steering column is coming out of a rat swarm from the reapers mini set. Now to just figure out how to sculpt some bones and I think im done.
DiscoSpud Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Wow mate, really good use of the reapers set! I'm keen to build a cadillac hearse using parts from the skeleton warriors sprues and call it the undertaker Or perhaps an Edd Roth inspired topless paddy wagon done up as a hearse... hmm ideas. Thanks for the inspiration mate!
Erik Smith Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) If you are going for a factory stock look on the truck, the seat is too far to the middle of the cab. No, seriously, this build is cracking me up. I can just see some hooded skeleton driving around town and people saying "oh, dear, look at that!". I like the weapons holder on the door. The single seat makes sense - who the hell would want to ride round with THAT guy? Great! Edited April 14, 2011 by Coyotehybrids

Thanks for the inspiration mate! Thats what im needing for this build i need bones, bones, and more bones, is it a separate kit that can be ordered?
DiscoSpud Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Thats what im needing for this build i need bones, bones, and more bones, is it a separate kit that can be ordered? The kit your after comes from the Games Workshop stores in the Warhammer area in a Maroon kind of old school looking box, don't be affraid to ask for help in store. I'll see if i can find out more

DiscoSpud Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 your best bet is if you can find an "actual" Games Workshop store. There's more inspiration then an M Night Shyamalan movie in there
Darren B Posted April 15, 2011 Author Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) your best bet is if you can find an "actual" Games Workshop store. There's more inspiration then an M Night Shyamalan movie in there Its as close as it gets to a gamer store here in turkey town, most everything has shut their doors in the last 4 years. In fact at one time we had like 10 hobby shops now only have 1 1/2 left..... Edited April 16, 2011 by Darren B
Dr. Cranky Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 OH MY, you are really going over the top with this one . . . fantastic details all over the place.
Darren B Posted April 16, 2011 Author Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) OH MY, you are really going over the top with this one . . . fantastic details all over the place. Thank you Dr.Cranky. I have gone farther than I ever have on a car/truck build, have to know thou when to say when so I can finish it sometime this decade thou. your best bet is if you can find an "actual" Games Workshop store. There's more inspiration then an M Night Shyamalan movie in there went to that gamer store still came up empty, gonna have to sculpt them myself I guess. Edited April 16, 2011 by Darren B
DiscoSpud Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Maybe look fro sprue kits on ebay? they should be easy to find. Again it's a huge hobby but yes in remote areas it's hard to get the parts. You know what's funny? I went into the hobby shop yesterday and they'd just gotten in a shipment of new kits, and low and behold there's the cadillac I'm after... well bugger me if I didn't say I was after one just a few hours before i went in store!

DiscoSpud Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I'll keep my eyes peeled for more mate, this is going to be one sick ride!
Darren B Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 I'll keep my eyes peeled for more mate, this is going to be one sick ride! Thank you, I am trying to decide when enough detail is enough on the interior so I can start to work on the pumps, hydros and work out a paint scheme to try to get this thing together.
Randy D Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 This is great stuff Darren!!!! Thanks to your thread I have been checking out the white metal stuff (trying to find that special hood ornament!) Looking forward to more of this Randy
