Another way you could have added the turret is this trick iv been seeing on 40k tanks lately that allows them to rotate you hollow out a bit inside and glue a lego in it then you glue a lego turn table where you want the turret then you can just snap it on and off whenever and spin it whenever cause of the turn table
Awesome build, just subscribed. I was wondering since all the artillery is so heavy maybe add a couple more axles to the trailer, to give it a more heavier look, because all that weight on a real rig would make the front wheels of the rig come off the ground. :)
I am not sure on the exact size but it is larger than the standard match box car size. It took me a long while to find a suitable sized truck as most are a bit small. I have a sweet bus in this size too ready for conversion.
Should have pinned the cannon by drilling into the post it used to connect to the toy it was from and put a peg in it the drill into the trailer and glue the turret on by putting the peg in the hole
Only problem with trailers like this is that the walls and roof cannot really bear any load since the walls are often made from very thin sheet metal. Proper shipping containers are considerably more solid.
Beer mats are the usual material of choice for this sort of thing. Much stiffer and more solid than playing/trading cards. But of course you have to go to a bar to get them….
Awesome build I really like what you did with this war rig.
Great stuff thanks for the ride!!!!
Nice build thanks for the video.. I bought cars and the book.. Can't wait to get into this

Thank you, it was so much fun to make :)

What were the colors you used after the black primer? You say it so quickly in the video.

Thanks :) That is a good point adding some more wheels at the back would also make it look cool.
@@bluesungaming8033, you're very welcome! 😀
what size is that truck? i only been able to find 1:64 so far so same as other hot wheels so its not big enough but i also dont want to go overly big

9:24 Saw is a shoulder pad from 40k ork nobs
Yeah that makes sense as it was in my Ork bits box. Its a cool piece.

You know, despite having probably a few hundred mountain cards myself. It PAINS me to see cards getting cut up and used as armor lmfao.
I thought this was putting them to good use, otherwise they will sit in a box collecting dust forever.
