gatorincebu Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Darren, It has been a while since I checked up on this build. You are really going to town on it. You creativity is amazing ! I like this build, but I like the stripper truck better! Be Well Gator
Darren B Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Thank you Gator, I am at the point where I want to get this one done, to get some real progress on it hope more soon.
Darren B Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) just a tiny update, working on getting the foam cut out and fitted over the hinges in the door panels, and also discovered that when I glued the inner fenders to the fire wall that it had a gap at the top of the firewall so starting the process of fixing that with some strip styrene. Edited August 3, 2015 by Darren B
Darren B Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 got a few nights off from work can jam on this some more, I got the inner fenders and firewall glued to the cab, the interior that I am designing is in pieces (the foam work) and is installed after what is left of the kits interior tub is in place and the cab on the frame, just a quick mock up, will finish the drivers door carving out the foam to cover the hinge tubes tomorrow night and hopefully finish the interior of the '32 interior came up with a layout tonight that I like pretty well will share tomorrow night.
mustang1989 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 That looks great so far Darren. I haven't dove off into the fabricated hinge work yet as I feel like I've still got a ways to go skill wise till I tackle that. Looking forward to that interior work.
Darren B Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 Thanks Joe, im kinda new to the hinge thing to , this is my third truck build with hinges, its like every other aspect of the hobby practice makes perfect, I know about staying in the comfort zone not treading water but with open panels can show so much more.... idea I am liking for the 32 with the pieces on the side of the wall and an aquarium.just playing around with an idea, not sure if the spider web will stay or the mummy in this location either.......... a couple of other views with the spider web photo etch.... Liking the idea just not sure it will be a permanent fixture...
gatorincebu Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Darren, Love the web! It looks great. But I don't think it really fits in with the theme of this build??? Be Well Gator
Jantrix Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Darren, Love the web! It looks great. But I don't think it really fits in with the theme of this build??? Be Well GatorDitto. But I'd love to know where you got it.

Be Well Gator Darren, Love the web! It looks great. But I don't think it really fits in with the theme of this build??? Be Well Gator Ditto. But I'd love to know where you got it.Thanks guys I was feeling the same way plus it was not going to fill in the area anyway as it was really to short in the corners. Jantrix the spider web photo etch came from this website from Ken Hamilton @ http://wildharemodels.com/ They have some real cool stuff at that site that you can use for all kinds of builds someday I want to get the bomber seat set to try that out looks pretty cool, and Ken is a great guy to deal with at wild hare as well.

Darren B Posted August 7, 2015 Author Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) ok came up with the final design/layout for the second trailer which with have most of the raided loot in it, and will carve out the inside of the top layer of foam that forms the top so the stuff fits better.this piece is actually the stage for my strippers delight build but shows how I plan to route out all of the foam from the lid to have clearance for the raided loot......

Oh believe me I know what you are talking about. I'm used to the opening panels up on 48th scale aircraft but this whole 24th /25th scale thing is a lot easier to see a foul up on. lol. Cool ideas going on here. Whichever way you go I'm sure you'll make it look good.
slusher Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 I like how you cut the foam for the second trailer. You have some great pieces foe this build. i kinda liked the web Darren, it could work if you decide to use it...
Darren B Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 thanks Carl, not sure about the spider web may try another type of metal in another shape. got some more work done to this and I am now set on the interior of the truck, the interior of the 32, and the small trailer so that will speed up the process now, so this will be kinda mock up monday.doors done, ready for paint work...back of cab, final layout, just needs paint work....top of trailer, sarcophagus....ideas for decorations for the sides........even more loot.....
Darren B Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 final layout of interior with the aquarium....final layout of the 32.....bumper locations and taillight.....
Darren B Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Final layout for the bed(minus the hydro pumps thou) getting closer to paint every day... Edited August 11, 2015 by Darren B
slusher Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Looking great Darren, i like the bed lay out. looks like you have most of the layouts like you want them...
Darren B Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 Looking great Darren, i like the bed lay out. looks like you have most of the layouts like you want them...Thank you Carl, yes i am at the point that I always come to with my builds and I just want to get it done now so I am saying enough is enough lets get this thing done.
Jantrix Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Thank you Carl, yes i am at the point that I always come to with my builds and I just want to get it done now so I am saying enough is enough lets get this thing done. Fonzie approves.
gatorincebu Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Darren, Question. On the truck doors you have a cool raised design. But are you sure you have the design going the right direction? Like one will be pointing forward and the other the opposite direction. ??? ;-) Be Well Gator
mustang1989 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Nice! I know how it is going through all the different options that the "voices in my head" keep telling me to try. I like the end results here. Good goin' Darren!
Darren B Posted August 22, 2015 Author Posted August 22, 2015 Thank you guys the piece on the doors only came that way, I have tried to flip it over but does not have the detail on the piece but I think it will look ok. trying out color choices now for the paint on the truck.
slusher Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Great color choices. Very nice painting on the pieces pictured.
