Here is the work so far on my death rig, kitbashed from a 1/32 Revell Snap Tite Freightliner model. Featuring kitbashed, scratch built and resin details. This model has taken me a ton of time/work to get to this point, as the base model was very very crappy. While I knew the model would be bad and prime for a bash I had no clue how bad it really was till I went to build it. Nothing fit at all and most of the parts included with the kit were incredibly warped. It has some of the cheapest and crappiest plastic i have ever seen on a kit. a A lot of time was taken just to build a new frame and even get to look like a truck. This build had me soooo freaking mad and frustrated I had to take a few weeks off from it but this week I finally made the final push. While something’s could be better I am pretty happy with the overall look concerting the pile of trash the base model was.

This monster is being built for so I didn't want to half ass it (if it was for me, it would have already been hammer time) I wanted to make sure he got something I would be happy to have in my own display. I think it was good that I gave myself sometime to re-group and gather up the courage to finally finish the build. I got a few more odds/ends and some fixes to do, but over the weekend I’ll be getting this beast primed and ready for paint. It will be painted in my standard raider colors and hopefully I’ll be done with this rolling nightmare by next weekend.

As always questions, comments and suggestions welcome.
