T-Nu getting fancy here with "Thermal Gloves". I just use oven mits or my calloused hands. Still watching the video, but I had to get that out of my system.
Yes, one of my Patrons bought these for me and I was like, "What the heck?" but the finger control works great when using a heat gun. Plus, the easiest time to break a sculpture is when taking it OUT of the oven. These gloves allow me remove the sculptures from the oven more carefully. I have grown to love them. : )
That looks so good T-Nu. The fact that you took out a flipping welder to this thing blows my mind. Also, throughout this video you kept using a lot of very STRONG connections that makes me think you have some sinister plans for this truck. WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE SO DURABLE!
Thanks Knarb! You know, if the world does go all Mad Max I don't want end up as a War Boy or worse, strapped to the front of some Warlord's hot-rod. Instead, I want to make battle toys for the feral children. It's much safer. This is why these playthings need to be so durable. Maybe we can join forces in the Wasteland so that we could make amazing toys for the little animals. So, let's break out the arc welder and get the tetanus shots prepped beacause we have a play-date with DOOM! : )
Dang. Not only did you take me back to my 1980s self being blown away by the raw awesomeness of Road Warrior, but you created a seriously hard core scale model of the tanker using materials and techniques rarely seen in the mini world. Welding? Actual metal work including templates? Yes, yes, yes! Fan-freaking-tastic.
This is just awesome! And it means a lot that this is something you started over a year ago, and then came back to. A lot of folks have partly finished things sitting around, and we quietly grumble at ourselves for not finishing them. But this gives us hope, you know? We can come back to these things when we're ready, or have more skill to finish it.
Yes, sometimes you just have to put things aside. One key thing to keep in mind though is that once you put that one thing on "pause," you should start working on something completely different. If you don't do any building or crafting for a while then that inertia that is hard to get over.
Absolutely killed it T-Nu! You are getting real good at using all different types of materials to get to look you want, I really liked the Eva foam and holes cut in the paper, those pipes are looking sick!
Thanks!!! You know, I watch this weird dude who makes videos about little tiny abandoned spaces and I learn a lot from that. One day that guy will get better with his camera work and it'll make those videos more palatable. One day... : ) Thanks ever so much my friend!!! : )
The amount of detail you put into that is insane TNu! Such an awesome build! Thanks for the shout, hopefully the pastels didn't struggle too much for for ya, always turns out grainy if they do
I love this pastel pigment technique and it's so much cheaper than pure pigment. However, pure pigment is more powerful by far, but that is not always a good thing. Cheers my man, thanks again!
This was absolutely incredible from start to finish, wow! I love seeing vehicle builds, so this was such a treat! Those shots of it in the dirt at the end were fantastic, definitely looks like it belongs there. All of the tiny details and weathering added so much story to the piece and I really enjoyed the spattering of dirt around the tires haha! So good~
Glad you enjoyed it, Fiend! There's a whole crazy story behind how I got those ending shots. It has everything: Intrigue, trespassing, fear, and laughter. Maybe one day I'll tell it... maybe. : ) Thanks for the encouragement, I always appreciate you checking these out when you can!
So much crafty-goodness here! Love the steering wheel, that cap had the perfect texture! The little doggo looks great! Love the use of templates and such. So many materials and tools...Multiple clays, water slide decal...power tools laser cutter, laser printer, welder, etc. Wow, you really involved a bunch of different things and so many details on this project - what a labor of love! ps- I've been working on something and was using balsawood, but after watching this, I think I'll switch to polystyrene. Also after watching this, I'm gonna hafta watch The Road Warrior again. (Love that Gyrocaptain fellow.) Season 3 sure started with a BANG! xoxo
Rock on, Volt! I really appreciate your friendship and attention to my work more than you know. I still have to getting around to reading your latest email. It's been busy around here. Thank you so much! : )
Excellent work, T-Nu! "The Road Warrior" is definitely in my Top 10 Favorite Movies List of all time, and this build brought back a LOT of memories! You really hit all the high points when building your (albeit not exact) replica of this iconic rig; which is arguably the most famous movie tanker truck only second to the one depicted in "Duel." Another famous movie truck that I'd like to see a model of, (but that is largely ignored by hobbyists,) is the Korean War-era GMC M211 truck used to transport the unstable dynamite in the 1977 movie "Sorcerer." (That bridge crossing scene was intense!) Please consider that one for a future project.
I’ve never seen THE ROAD WARRIOR. ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK was my too violent for a kid movie. Watched this video and then watched it again with my wife. She loves your videos as much as I do.
Escape from New York is fun, but it's a popcorn movie. THE ROAD WARRIOR is a cinematic masterpiece. If you haven't seen it then maybe give it a shot. It's so well crafted. Thanks Gary, I appreciate your wife watching as well! : )
Awesome! I totally expected to see a 1/24th scale model kit as the starting point. When you unboxed that Nylint truck, I was surprised; and later, amazed! That was fantastic! Keep it up!
Haha! I never even thought of starting with a scale model. I have this thing about durability. This truck will never be played with, but I'd like it to hold up well if it was. : ) Thanks for watching!
IN-FREAKIN-CREDIBLE!! AND THIS IS WHY I KEEP COMIN BACK TO YOUR CRAFTIVERSE!! TO ME,THIS IS EXCELLENT! THANKS FOR BRINGING US ALONG,AND ENTERTAINING US WHILE WE GET TO PEEK OVER YOUR TALENTED SHOULDER!! BIG THUMBS UP!!
That s one fantastic build . Great representation of the war rig MAD MAX 2...... You certainly watched the film many times to get that much attention to detail 👍
great way to start a new year and new Season, T-Nu! I love that this was a paused project, and to see your skills have grown, in your craft. All now you need it a road warrior action figure T-Nu, to drive the truck. Also, your Daddy's training for a "Wasteland" sounds like it would of been "fun" growing up ;3
Wrestling in full leather garb during the hottest days in a Louisiana summer was not fun. Trust me. : ) An action figure... Hmmm... I like! Thank you! : )
@@CajunCraftastrophe oof the hottest, I bet that was hard to do any work. Aye, I think that would be amazing if you did an action figure, and from what I have done with making stop motion armatures, it works in some parts the same, but using green stuff or milliput or like items helps to change the figure into any character... and painting. but still I think it would be cool to see you create an action figure as kitbashing or what not.
I don't know why this showed up on my list of recommended vids, but I'm glad it did. When "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" opened in June of '82 I saw it opening night with a friend. By the time I left the theater it was my favorite movie of all time. I was on pins and needles for "The Road Warrior", having been one of the few Americans who saw "Mad Max" in the theater. I was hoping it would be good, but I had no idea what I was really in for. So two months after "Star Trek II", there is a Sunday night single showing sneak preview of "The Road Warrior" at the Crestwood Cinema in Saint Louis. My mom and I go. I'm less than a month from my 16th birthday. It's a hot August night. My mind was blown. From the opening montage to the end epilogue I was entranced. I nearly cried when the black on black got rolled and eventually blown up. And of course my heart sank when the dog got killed. But "The Road Warrior" became my new favorite movie of all time, putting "Star Trek II" in 2nd place. I think I saw "Star Trek II" with that same friend at least 3 more times, and with my mom once. I saw "The Road Warrior" the following Saturday with another friend, and we went back to the same theater to see it again at least 6 more times. We eventually also saw it on a double-bill with "Bladerunner" along with his dad and a friend of ours. I also remember going to a dollar theater with my mom to see it again months later. When it came out on VHS the following summer I rented it, borrowed a friends VCR and we dubbed a couple of copies. I may actually still have that copy to this day, in addition to a Laser-Disc (YES!!! LASER-DISC!!!!), DVD, and Blu-Ray. I also have the original soundtrack LP which I bought at a convention before I even saw the movie, and a couple of theater one-sheets (the A & B versions). In 2001 I was fortunate enough to be at the San Diego Comic-con and to meet and get the autograph of Virginia Hey who played the Warrior Woman. I had a digital camera with me and after I got her autograph I went off to the side and took a few photos of her talking to other people. In late September or early October of that year, a friend called me and left a message on my machine, "I'm in Collinsville at Archon. Virginia Hey is here. Print up one of those photos of yours and bring it for her to autograph. I did so. I put it in front of her and asked, "Can I get your autograph on this"? She looked at it for along moment and asked me, "Where did you get this"? I replied, "I took that last summer at the San Diego comic-con". She loved the photo. And she autographed it for me. I treasure it to this day. There have been a lot of great movies since, so... can I say that "The Road Warrior" is still my absolute A-number-one fave? Maybe not. But the black-on-black Interceptor... at least the original "Mad Max" version is my favorite car ever. And the big truck from "The Road Warrior"? Definitely one of my favorite post apocalypse survival vehicles. You did a good job on this. I'm subscribing and seeing what else you've done.
Hi Charles, thanks for sharing your story. I love how much effect The Road Warrior had on you as a kid, we're obviously similar in that regard. I love how you made another transfer of the VHS to edit out the commercials!! That's beautiful commitment. Thank you so much! Please subscribe if you can! : )
@@CajunCraftastrophe No commercials to edit. When it came out on VHS I rented it. No copy protection so my copies were pristine. And I did subscribe. I'll have to catch up sometime. P.S.: I hated "Mad Max: Fury Road". Probably one of the lamest movies since "Plan 9 From Outer Space". No plot, Hardy was NOT Max. The movie would have been better if it had just been called "Furiosa" and had been all about her, with some backstory and NO MAX!!!!!!
@@CajunCraftastrophe Finally someone who agrees with me!!!! I saw it with a large group of Maxfans and they all thought it was the second coming. I told them all, "It was crap"!!!! I tell the same thing to everyone and they all say how much they loved it. To this day no one has been able to tell me how a crap movie with ridiculous over-the-top imagery and neither discernible plot no character development can be enjoyable. It was a movie made for ADD children who are hopped up on behavior meds and can't follow along with a decent story.
I really enjoy the banter between father and son.. and as always your builds are top shelf. They sure don't make toys like they used to.. Great job brother.
Excellent work T-Nu! I'm a big fan of the Road Warrior film, as well and consider it the best of the original "Trilogy" of films. I get where you had to put the project down for a while. I've had a few of those moments myself and there's nothing wrong with coming back when your skills are better! Level up!
Funny enough. Never thought this movie could have another title... for me it's always and forever "Mad Max II" (as it came in the theaters in Germany). The model looks insane... great work, excellent job.
Haha! They change everything for Americans. It's crazy. The American version of Mad Max when it first came out, the Hollywood executives changed the dialog of all the actors. They overdubbed over Mel Gibson! Also, that movie only came out AFTER The Road Warrior (Mad Max 2) in the States. So to me I was shocked when I heard it called Mad Max 2... but I was also delighted that there was another movie! Thanks for watching, much appreciated!
A major success. Hip ttunes throughout. Next level work and a great audition for working at Weta. Obvious thing to me is putting your cell in a hole to film the truck driving over it.
That looks Fantastic,,, Mad Max 2 is without a Doubt the Best Movie i've seen. (from my perspective) I grew up watching Mad Max from a child, & it has influenced my life enough that i got into Cars, motorsport and eventually into Demolition Derby. Great Video,
Couldn't agree more! Demolition Derby!??? That's pretty rad man. I hope that you have a Mohawk, or that at the very least your helmet has a Mohawk on it! : )
Oh, what a wonderful build, mate. The detail, the colours and the effort you put in it, amazing. The Road Warrior is one of my favorite movies of all time, too. So extra thank you for that. And Claude, sir, I whish you were my dad back than the movie came out. I had to persuade my dad weeks and weeks to rent the movie on vhs before I could finaly watch it.
Thanks a ton! You know, if you appreciate getting out of bed at 4:30 am because someone threw a desert snake into your bed, then perhaps my Dad would have been a good fit for you. Also, I had to practice wrestling in full leather garb during a Louisiana summer... I'll never forget that smell. Thanks son of Targ! Tell your Dad, Hi!
I was 11 when this film came out in the US in the summer of 1982. I didn’t get to see it until it was broadcast on NBC until 83/84. I recorded it on the ole Panasonic VCR. I then duped it onto my grandparents Betamax. I then transferred it back to VHS, carefully editing out the commercials. NBC had made a few cuts here and there to allow it to air on network tv. They did a pretty great job keeping it inline with the theatrical version. That was a rare thing indeed. The TV version of Smokey and The Bandit that ABC aired a few years earlier was ridiculously unwatchable. This version of the Road Warrior became my definitive version. I watched that tape over and over. I hooked a tape deck up to my VCR and copied the audio onto a cassette tape so I could listen to it in my Walkman and later my first car. It’s now hard for me all these years later to watch the American theatrical version and even original Australian version. It just feels off. Ps. You know what’s weird… I think my son had that Nylint Truck set in the 90’s.
Oooo, I can't wait to see what ya' got cooking PD... WAIT... WAIT... Are you customizing Shite Rider??? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! : )
Right on, BP! You can actually make the little barbs, but it is time consuming and the tiny wires are sharp. Knots fit into the "Close Enough" category. Thanks!
Dude! Every detail is amazing! I’m truly inspired by all the techniques you use! (Also, strongly recommend reading Blood, Sweat, and Chrome by Kyle Buchanan. Its mostly about Fury Road, but it’s got tons of info on all the movies)
Haha! I listened to the audio book of Blood, Sweat, and Chrome when I was working on the Beyond Crafterdome video. Full immersion my friend! : ) Thank you ever so much, Jon!
Amazing, that looks so good! I also watched the Road Warrior a couple of times too many as a kid, but I still love it. If I had to picka a single favorite movie, Mad Max 2 probably would be it!
1:47 To remove such a sticker from any surface, first soak it with regular cooking oil. Wait a bit. And then remove it with a cloth or cotton pad, etc. I know, it sounds like magic, but it is very effective! 😊🤗😘
Badass build T-Nu!! The added bit of actually welding the truck was a great addition to the overall scrap feel of it. I also watched this movie a lot as a kid, brought back some good memories!
This is one my favorite projects on the channel! It looks incredible, I love the attention to detail. You used some really cool techniques, I especially like how you did the barbed wire! Thanks for another awesome video
Thank you very much! You can make actual barbed wire with the little barbs, but man 22 gauge wire sticking out about a millimeter will cut or pierce your fingers like butter. : 0 It also is pretty time consuming, so this method seemed like a good fit on this project. Thanks again!
I watched this movie by accident, don't regret any second! I'm shocked amazed and speechless!!! What a awesome job you did don't give a f... is 3 well or two😃 the amount of work and details simple amazing😍😍😍 don't know what to say more, maybe just thanks allot you show us your art😍😍😍
Great score on the eBay truck! For sure nothing modern would have stood up to your mods. I love the detail that you put into every part of the truck, interior and exterior. 11:48 As you pointed out, welding is probably more screen-accurate than rivets would be anyway! Apparently you made full use of the "Pause" feature on the VCR Fantastic build! I enjoyed every part of this video.
What a way to start Season 3! Got to say your Mad Max war rig looks awesome! I've always been partial to the mack truck before it becomes the war rig personally, but this looks really amazing. Here's to another year of crafting
Could have made molds of the rear wheels and cast a set but then again the scale would be off. Good choice not adding. Can the tanker hold sand? Excellent work! It looks like the Road Warrior truck.
One of The Best builds in a Bigger Scale I have SEEN! AWESOME! Details, NICE... My Fav Movie ever! I too Still have my VHS, I also have one that has Never been Opened! I save alot of stuff.. HORDER!!! Thanks for this one, ITS SOOOO inspiring! I have ALOT of hot wheels, Road Warrior Builds/ Gas Lands HECK YEA! SAVED IT!!! THANKS !!
Thanks a ton, Retro! Yeah, I'm glad I came back to it too. It was silently mocking me every time I would walk by it. I can't live under the boot heel of an unfinished toy!!!! : )
just found ur channel, ur work is sick and ur video making is so entertaining and makes me not want to miss the process with your winning personality without you giving away the result, real hidden gem
I've officially watched all of your videos! ...well, until the next one uploads 😀 I love your content. You are a talented crafter, you create videos with fantastic production value, and your banter with Daddy makes me laugh. I look forward to watching what you come up with next!!

Cheers, Dan! Thanks so much. There was a lot of steps in this one. : 0

I am so happy I stumbled upon this. Thanks for letting me relive a little of my childhood as well. Stellar work!
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. : )

I really appreciate that!
Extraordinary build, and your humour is unmatched, dear.
Glad you enjoyed it, Susan!
This looks so sick! Great work as always T-Nu!
Thank you Tired Craftsman! Much appreciated. Cheers!
I'm glad you paused it for a year - you totally nailed it!
Thank you!

Thank you, I appreciate that! The Road Warrior is pretty much a perfect movie. Everything about it is so well done! Thanks for watching.
The final product looks amazing. It’s very clear how much work went into this build.
Thanks a ton!
Top tip for glue residue, Zippo lighter fluid and a cotton ball. Takes it right off nice and clean.
Ah, if you look again at the video you can see that Zippo lighter fluid was #3 in the products that I tried, but it too did not work. Thanks, Sue.
One of my gaming buddies remembered l did this with a Hess truck after seeing yours ... mine will never see the light of day again... top marks.
Thanks T-Nu! Loved it, and welcome to 2023!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Who ever is doing this recreation of the Mack tanker truck in Mad Max: 2 is very Awesome. I liked it very much 😀

I think this qualifies as a doctoral dissertation in Road Warrior. You can now add Doctor of Road Warrior to your resume. Dr. T-Nu, RWD.

I had a digital camera with me and after I got her autograph I went off to the side and took a few photos of her talking to other people. In late September or early October of that year, a friend called me and left a message on my machine, "I'm in Collinsville at Archon. Virginia Hey is here. Print up one of those photos of yours and bring it for her to autograph. I did so. I put it in front of her and asked, "Can I get your autograph on this"? She looked at it for along moment and asked me, "Where did you get this"? I replied, "I took that last summer at the San Diego comic-con". She loved the photo. And she autographed it for me. I treasure it to this day. There have been a lot of great movies since, so... can I say that "The Road Warrior" is still my absolute A-number-one fave? Maybe not. But the black-on-black Interceptor... at least the original "Mad Max" version is my favorite car ever. And the big truck from "The Road Warrior"? Definitely one of my favorite post apocalypse survival vehicles. You did a good job on this. I'm subscribing and seeing what else you've done.
Hi Charles, thanks for sharing your story. I love how much effect The Road Warrior had on you as a kid, we're obviously similar in that regard. I love how you made another transfer of the VHS to edit out the commercials!! That's beautiful commitment. Thank you so much! Please subscribe if you can! : )
@@CajunCraftastrophe No commercials to edit. When it came out on VHS I rented it. No copy protection so my copies were pristine. And I did subscribe. I'll have to catch up sometime. P.S.: I hated "Mad Max: Fury Road". Probably one of the lamest movies since "Plan 9 From Outer Space". No plot, Hardy was NOT Max. The movie would have been better if it had just been called "Furiosa" and had been all about her, with some backstory and NO MAX!!!!!!
@@charlesballard5251 I agree, no Max in Fury Road would have been good. They are making a Furiosa movie now. Fingers crossed. : )
@@CajunCraftastrophe Finally someone who agrees with me!!!! I saw it with a large group of Maxfans and they all thought it was the second coming. I told them all, "It was crap"!!!! I tell the same thing to everyone and they all say how much they loved it. To this day no one has been able to tell me how a crap movie with ridiculous over-the-top imagery and neither discernible plot no character development can be enjoyable. It was a movie made for ADD children who are hopped up on behavior meds and can't follow along with a decent story.
As an Australian, I fully approve of this rendition of my everyday drive to work.
Haha! Nice mate. : )
I really enjoy the banter between father and son.. and as always your builds are top shelf. They sure don't make toys like they used to.. Great job brother.
Thanks 👍
Excellent work T-Nu! I'm a big fan of the Road Warrior film, as well and consider it the best of the original "Trilogy" of films. I get where you had to put the project down for a while. I've had a few of those moments myself and there's nothing wrong with coming back when your skills are better! Level up!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks!
Funny enough. Never thought this movie could have another title... for me it's always and forever "Mad Max II" (as it came in the theaters in Germany).
The model looks insane... great work, excellent job.
Haha! They change everything for Americans. It's crazy. The American version of Mad Max when it first came out, the Hollywood executives changed the dialog of all the actors. They overdubbed over Mel Gibson! Also, that movie only came out AFTER The Road Warrior (Mad Max 2) in the States. So to me I was shocked when I heard it called Mad Max 2... but I was also delighted that there was another movie! Thanks for watching, much appreciated!
Who Brings a Rock to a Truck Fight 😂 4:48
That guy! : )
Rock on, Shakes! I love my gloves and use them all of the time now. Thank you!
Wow. Just wow! So much skill, so many nuggets. My hat’s off to you!! 👏
Thank you so much 😀
A major success. Hip ttunes throughout. Next level work and a great audition for working at Weta.
Obvious thing to me is putting your cell in a hole to film the truck driving over it.
Yes, that would be a cool camera angle. Thanks so much sclogse!
That looks Fantastic,,, Mad Max 2 is without a Doubt the Best Movie i've seen. (from my perspective) I grew up watching Mad Max from a child, & it has influenced my life enough that i got into Cars, motorsport and eventually into Demolition Derby. Great Video,
Couldn't agree more!
Demolition Derby!??? That's pretty rad man. I hope that you have a Mohawk, or that at the very least your helmet has a Mohawk on it! : )
Outstanding!!! What a episode! Thank you!!
Thanks for checking out the video!
That's so badass! The whole thing looks killer.
Thanks, Tom!
Oh, what a wonderful build, mate. The detail, the colours and the effort you put in it, amazing. The Road Warrior is one of my favorite movies of all time, too. So extra thank you for that. And Claude, sir, I whish you were my dad back than the movie came out. I had to persuade my dad weeks and weeks to rent the movie on vhs before I could finaly watch it.
Thanks a ton! You know, if you appreciate getting out of bed at 4:30 am because someone threw a desert snake into your bed, then perhaps my Dad would have been a good fit for you. Also, I had to practice wrestling in full leather garb during a Louisiana summer... I'll never forget that smell.
Thanks son of Targ! Tell your Dad, Hi!
Yes! This turned out amazing! 👏🤩
Rock on, Cannon! : )
Excellent attention do detail. Now you need a matching one for humilk from the last movie.
You never know... I just might. Thanks!
That is amazing, I would love that, thanks for keeping the Road Warrior alive. ❤
Cheers man! It's a fantastic film. : )
I was 11 when this film came out in the US in the summer of 1982. I didn’t get to see it until it was broadcast on NBC until 83/84.
I recorded it on the ole Panasonic VCR. I then duped it onto my grandparents Betamax. I then transferred it back to VHS, carefully editing out the commercials.
NBC had made a few cuts here and there to allow it to air on network tv. They did a pretty great job keeping it inline with the theatrical version. That was a rare thing indeed. The TV version of Smokey and The Bandit that ABC aired a few years earlier was ridiculously unwatchable.
This version of the Road Warrior became my definitive version. I watched that tape over and over. I hooked a tape deck up to my VCR and copied the audio onto a cassette tape so I could listen to it in my Walkman and later my first car.
It’s now hard for me all these years later to watch the American theatrical version and even original Australian version. It just feels off.
Ps. You know what’s weird… I think my son had that Nylint Truck set in the 90’s.
As a huge Mad Max fan and a trucker, this video ticked all my boxes. Excellent work!
Thanks for watching!
Ahhhh Cher, shout out from Hancock Co MS. Love it, awesome job!!!!
Mais, you right next door to me! Thanks so much, Jack!!
Dang your skills keep leveling up! The weathering on this thing is just pure art!
That's so nice of you to say, Birb! Thanks! : )
p.s. I HAVE to level up. The RUclips crafters out there are outstanding.
Watching this playing with a very similar build :D
Oooo, I can't wait to see what ya' got cooking PD... WAIT... WAIT... Are you customizing Shite Rider??? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
: )
@@CajunCraftastrophe lol playing in the literal sense not crafting 😋
T-Nu! Insanely cool truck and right up my alley 👍
I'm going to try the barbed wire trick in the future. It's filed away in my craft brain!
Right on, BP! You can actually make the little barbs, but it is time consuming and the tiny wires are sharp. Knots fit into the "Close Enough" category. Thanks!
@@CajunCraftastrophe at a small enough scale I think it would be fine and the time savings is welcome!
Pretty f'n awesome 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘
Rock on! Thanks!
Dude! Every detail is amazing! I’m truly inspired by all the techniques you use!
(Also, strongly recommend reading Blood, Sweat, and Chrome by Kyle Buchanan. Its mostly about Fury Road, but it’s got tons of info on all the movies)
Haha! I listened to the audio book of Blood, Sweat, and Chrome when I was working on the Beyond Crafterdome video. Full immersion my friend! : )
Thank you ever so much, Jon!
very cool.. and yes i love these movies.. Mel is the man!!
I lost it when your dad said. you didn't talk till you were six, you were farel. Great job.
Haha! Thanks so much for watching! : )
@@CajunCraftastrophe you should look into the death race movie, for the battle wagon tanker truck and build that if you liked this model from mad max.
Very Cool!
What kid wouldn't want that in his sandbox? 😝
Amazing, that looks so good!
I also watched the Road Warrior a couple of times too many as a kid, but I still love it. If I had to picka a single favorite movie, Mad Max 2 probably would be it!
Yes, it is also my opinion that MM2 is the best one. : ) Thanks!
Muito Bom o seu Trabalho.
Ficou perfeito. Parabéns.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
1:47 To remove such a sticker from any surface, first soak it with regular cooking oil. Wait a bit. And then remove it with a cloth or cotton pad, etc. I know, it sounds like magic, but it is very effective! 😊🤗😘
Badass build T-Nu!! The added bit of actually welding the truck was a great addition to the overall scrap feel of it. I also watched this movie a lot as a kid, brought back some good memories!
Rock on! Yes, welding and toys are usually a bad combo. I'm glad that it worked out this time. : )
One last detail that is needed... filling the tanker with orange-red sand and a shot of it draining out.
Oh yeah! That would be super cool! Thanks!
So cool, the conversation and the model itself.👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I had the same Rocky Horror book when I was a kid! also, nice cameo of your wife’s paintings 😊
Cheers, Lisa! I'm glad you noticed the background book! : )
I loved every minute of this! I wish the video had been twice as long. One word to describe this build, Excellent!
Wow, thank you! That is such a nice thing to say. You just made my day! : )
Kudos to you, excellent job!!!
Thank you kindly!
This is one my favorite projects on the channel! It looks incredible, I love the attention to detail. You used some really cool techniques, I especially like how you did the barbed wire! Thanks for another awesome video
Thank you very much! You can make actual barbed wire with the little barbs, but man 22 gauge wire sticking out about a millimeter will cut or pierce your fingers like butter. : 0
It also is pretty time consuming, so this method seemed like a good fit on this project. Thanks again!
I watched this movie by accident, don't regret any second! I'm shocked amazed and speechless!!! What a awesome job you did don't give a f... is 3 well or two😃 the amount of work and details simple amazing😍😍😍 don't know what to say more, maybe just thanks allot you show us your art😍😍😍
That is so cool of you to say, Rafal! I appreciate you watching! : )
Great score on the eBay truck! For sure nothing modern would have stood up to your mods.
I love the detail that you put into every part of the truck, interior and exterior.
11:48 As you pointed out, welding is probably more screen-accurate than rivets would be anyway!
Apparently you made full use of the "Pause" feature on the VCR
Fantastic build! I enjoyed every part of this video.
Cool, thanks Michael! Yes, there was lots of staring at the screen trying to figure out how the truck is built!
Fantastic job 👍👌💯♥️
Thank you so much 😀
I wanna see you build a model car kit, and customize it! I bet it'd be dope.
I totally would use a model car, but it would have to be several cars chopped together like they did on Fury Road! : )
What a way to start Season 3! Got to say your Mad Max war rig looks awesome! I've always been partial to the mack truck before it becomes the war rig personally, but this looks really amazing. Here's to another year of crafting
Thank you! : ) Trucks don't look right to me unless they have at least one spike. : )
Thanks T-NU, Thumbs up as always.
Heck yeah! Thanks!
Fun build! Looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks so much, Sir Guy! : )
Beautiful work 🤯 looks like a movie prop ! I really enjoyed watching you create it thanks 😎
Thanks! : )
Could have made molds of the rear wheels and cast a set but then again the scale would be off. Good choice not adding. Can the tanker hold sand? Excellent work! It looks like the Road Warrior truck.
Good point. Well, the tanker is hollow, so adding sand would've been a nice touch! : )
One of The Best builds in a Bigger Scale I have SEEN! AWESOME! Details, NICE... My Fav Movie ever! I too Still have my VHS, I also have one that has Never been Opened! I save alot of stuff.. HORDER!!! Thanks for this one, ITS SOOOO inspiring! I have ALOT of hot wheels, Road Warrior Builds/ Gas Lands HECK YEA! SAVED IT!!! THANKS !!
Thank you very much, Tom! I love that you still have your old (and new) VHS tape. I wish that I still had mine! :/
@@CajunCraftastrophe you do not have the VHS one anymore?
@@TomJones0065 No, long gone. : )
Dude this project is absolutely incredible! Well done! I’m so glad you came back to finish it!
Thanks a ton, Retro! Yeah, I'm glad I came back to it too. It was silently mocking me every time I would walk by it. I can't live under the boot heel of an unfinished toy!!!! : )
That was an amazing build- great work T-Nu.
I really appreciate that!
...wasteland... great work, my good sir!
Thank you kindly!
Awesome detail, especially with the rust/weathering, and I love your commentary!
Thank you very much!
"I am gravely dissapointed you haven't subscribed"....... I totally lost it there, and subscribed.
Then my plan worked perfectly! : ) Thanks Felipe!
What a fantastic video regards Malcolm from Adelaide south Australia
Thank you!
Terrific job! very detailed and so many custom parts!
Thank you very much!
10:15 Those were common on old semi's It was just air filters. It got them up in cool air and also made it easy to change them
just found ur channel, ur work is sick and ur video making is so entertaining and makes me not want to miss the process with your winning personality without you giving away the result, real hidden gem
Thank you. That's very cool of you to say!
I've officially watched all of your videos! ...well, until the next one uploads 😀
I love your content. You are a talented crafter, you create videos with fantastic production value, and your banter with Daddy makes me laugh.
I look forward to watching what you come up with next!!
Wow, thank you! You're the best! : )
There was a story on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert from this week's 'Meanwhile' that made me think of Daddy's run ins with local wildlife 😂
Ive watched this video atleast 5 times and its awesome every time. Love your content!
Wow, thanks! That is so cool. : )
Lost for words just amazing 🎉
