slusher Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 You have some cool ideas going Darren. Very interesting subject. Hang in there...
Darren B Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 have a little update, been playing with the layout of the bed. I have some much stuff to add but want to do it in an appeasing way as to not get to clutter or too goofy!!!
Darren B Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Ok i think I have my head back into this one! been doing some more work on it and decided to go with the full cab and cut out a pyramid design in it like the aztec warrior, kinda like the pyramids of Giza..... more updates to come soon....
slusher Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I like the pyramid cut. Fits your theme and is easily spotted with your theme. I can understand how you want to tie it all together, keep it going man..
Darren B Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 Thank you Carl, I found a new toy for this build, someone I Know told me you need a mummy so i found one on Amazon and it finally came in today... now have to figure a place for this....
slusher Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 A mummy will go along with your theme. Did you get most of your stuff at Hobby Lobby or Michaels??
Darren B Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 most all from hobby lobby and some gamer bits from a wargammer store and the latest mummy from amazon. Anywhere I can pick up stuff a good resource too is thrift stores.
Darren B Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks Jake, Did a mock up of what the trailer may look like. I know it would be very heavy if 1 to 1 and hard to get the car on the top layer but I went from just having the truck and trailer with all the loot to adding the 32 so needed a car trailer then when the car is on the trailer there is no room for all of the loot that I have collected, that is why I added the top layer. Will have to give it more thought I may just go back to my original idea of the trailer of loot and forget the car not sure at this point. any suggestions or ideas at this point would be appreciated.
Darren B Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 stil working on this one but not as much, right now im just cleaning up some stuff and smoothing out inside of engine compartment
Darren B Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) I had to take a step back and rethink this as a double decker trailer was getting out of hand, just an update where I am now, getting a good start on the interior panels and in side the cab......going to scrap the double decker trailer idea but have two trailers instead, can show it with either trailer. Edited March 23, 2015 by Darren B
Darren B Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 This will be the second trailer with the sarcophagus and mummy, the idea is to have it in slabs of the sign foam to look like a tomb with the hieroglphics on the sides with a top on it as well.
hjracing Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Like in every of your builds you are taken this one to another level! Great job!
slusher Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I like where your going with the trailer and truck Darren. I really like the headliner and door panels. Keep it going man. i saw all this stuff in Chicago when i was a young teen...
Darren B Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks Slusher, im just glad i took a few weeks off on this project to rethink it and get back into it!!!
Darren B Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) cutting hole thru foam for window...... Edited March 26, 2015 by Darren B
Darren B Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 getting closer on the trailer layout.... an idea for the back wall of the cab and entrance for a tomb.... this is not set in stone, may change my mind down the road........................... viper hood ornament
Darren B Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 thanks Slusher, I am cooking with gas now.......................... Decided to put the scarab on the front of the tomb and a lighter Egyptian image on the hood... and idea for a seat back...
blunc Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 can you translate your hieroglyphics for us or will we need to do that for ourselves?
Darren B Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Mike , its gonna read the best model magazine is Model Cars Mag! Or maybe something model related. Edited March 29, 2015 by Darren B
