Ok so finished up that bruiser build but I am real excited to get this build going. So an individual approached me to build them a Toyota Bruiser body. They also said the magic words "tell me what you want to do". Well I have been batting around a few ideas recently and this will give me the excuse to do one of them sooooooo
Tamiya Toyota Hilux Libyan Technical Pickup Build!
Toyota Hilux bodies have been modded so much but I don't think I have seen anything like this before so I am excited to do it. For those of you that don't know, during the Libyan war (or any African war) you will see a ton of Toyota's and other pickups modified to have mounted machine guns on them. They are common place in today's battle field. Recently with the Libyan war you saw them all over the place. As a vet and a history buff I love building pieces that tell a story. So here are some pics of the design I am going to go for:
This is a dodge but the idea is the same
Here is a Toyota all loaded up
Here is a scale 1/35 model that is made my Meng
Going to have all sorts of markings and the Libyan flag on it but really weathered to look like it was hand painted.
Now of course the machine gun. Well it wouldn't be a Technical without one so I am going to scratch build an SG43 Russian Heavy Machine gun into the pickup bed.
Going to be a lot of fun!
