Darren B Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) 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 I am getting a love for them too on this build just very exspensive. Went back to the store today and get these and found my bones so I wont have to sculpt them they look like these:they look a little under scale and they had to order them, but if it saves me from hours of trying to sculpt them im fine with that. Then I will stop with the metal and get on the hydros and pumps, wiring so I can finish this thing. Edited April 20, 2011 by Darren B

Darren B Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 wow! see that skull with the spine attached? what an awesome shift lever that would make, man I need some reapers kits! I know that skull with the spine is pretty cool, but the expression on it reminds me of Homer Simpson for some reason....They are on order and the shop keep from the gamer store says probably be here saturday so as soon as I get them ill figure out where to put them.
Darren B Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Been thinking of a name for this truck, like "Straight out of Hell" or "Hell Raider", it has to have a cool name.
LAone Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 man, i like where this is going. taking the lowrider style up a notch. as for the names you have in mind, i would take out the crosses since its the opposite of hell. "bone collector" comes to mind. "soul hunter"
DiscoSpud Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I need to translate to word skull, but I'm thinking something like Los Skull Bandoleros (The Skull Bandit) Lowrider style but creepy
Darren B Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 I need to translate to word skull, but I'm thinking something like Los Skull Bandoleros (The Skull Bandit) Lowrider style but creepy I love it, that would give it an awesome flare to it being that it is a lowrider.
DiscoSpud Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I love it, that would give it an awesome flare to it being that it is a lowrider. Cheers mate! the best part is Los Bandoleros is a song by Don Omar, check it out.
Darren B Posted April 26, 2011 Author Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Just a little update. Got the bone packs and althought they are bones they seem to scale out to at least 1/35th scale. I put a femur by a 1/35th scale soldier and it looks kinda close. Added a little more to the dashboard as well, its going to have some axes on the dashboard. I am now done with the metal stuff now, just added up the total and spent $56.00,that added up fast before I realized what i bought on all the little metal things, I believe I can finally finish this thing, and its getting heavy from all of the little metal pieces. Next update probably will be in another week as its getting busy for me at work again. Going to concentrate on the pumps and batteries and getting the rear end fitted to the chassis. Also need to figure out what to do with the front axle. Edited April 26, 2011 by Darren B
DiscoSpud Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 keep plugging along mate she's looking great! Is the guage cluster on the dash photo-etch?
Dr. Cranky Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 You've got EYEGORE salivatin' for more eye candy. Doctor Cranky says take your vitamins and keep it going. It's looking real good.

Corvette.Jeff Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) you should find a way to make a grim reaper, that soldier without a head would make a good home for that skull with a spine "HINT HINT" Edited April 28, 2011 by Corvette.Jeff
Darren B Posted May 2, 2011 Author Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) a little update. Finalized the dashboard and fitted to make sure it will fit with the larger door panels and its looking pretty good. Added what Dr.Cranky would call gizmology to the lower part of the dashboard as if its working device in a dungeon door or something. Also decided that grim should have a back rest on his seat and some spikes around the seat base. So grim gets a back rest of barbed wire. Edited May 2, 2011 by Darren B
evilone Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Everytime i look in here i always see something new that makes this build way cooler. MAJOR props toyou man this build will be a instant icon bro
Darren B Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 Decided to add spikes around the bottom of the cab. Make it more dangerous.
Darren B Posted May 9, 2011 Author Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Small update, thought I would carry over the interior theme to the bed cover. Added some more small details to the back of the interior and started to work out a headliner for the roof. and my son had some bones from a lego set that I will be using for some nerf type bars in place of bumpers wrapped in barb wire. Edited May 9, 2011 by Darren B
John Teresi Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Darren......this build is AWESOME......all the detail you are putting into it......just over the top......great work man.
Dr. Cranky Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 FABULOUS detailing. A healthy mix of Goth and Steampunk. Love it! Take your CRANKY VITAMINS and keep it going!
Rob Z Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 When I originally saw this thread when you first started it I thought, "a Low Rider '41 P/U"??? Well Darren I must say, this is really looking AWESOME and is right up my alley with all the skulls and bones... Great work and the detail is beautiful...
Darren B Posted May 10, 2011 Author Posted May 10, 2011 Thanks guys I really want to finish this thing but every time i set at the bench i just keep adding to it. The headliner is done. I think...
Dr. Cranky Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 More! More! More! and MORE! Please! You are killing EYEGORE with this one!
Darren B Posted May 10, 2011 Author Posted May 10, 2011 More! More! More! and MORE! Please! You are killing EYEGORE with this one! oh cool cranky i see you have a website that is totally wicked cool have to check that one out. and yes more is coming just not sure what is next thou.
Darren B Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 One thing that i want to add for anyone working with this signfoam or balsa foam, please wear a respirator and a good one. It produces a lot of dust in the air and surrounding area on your workbench and if you breathe in this dust it will really mess with your lungs. I can tell I didnt use mine and im having some difficulty breathing, next time i will be more studious and use mine around this stuff. So for sure use a respirator!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darren B Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) The foam looks so much more realistic primered gray then in the pink color it comes in.... Edited May 11, 2011 by Darren B
Ryan S. Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I love just how wicked this thing is turning out. Fantastic build and all the little additions are brilliant! You may have stated earlier but do you have a color scheme picked out?
