Description
Out in the wasteland one truly scary monster is a raider Death Rig. Converted from a freightliner truck, these beasts really bring the pain. Two super charged engines give the rig incredible power and speed. Reinforced battering grill, jacked suspension, extra fuel tank and redneck armor make it hard to stop. Hood mounted machine gun, passenger mounted .50 cal and roof mounted plasma cannon, give it the edge even at a distance. Whether at a distance or up close the death rig lives up to its name. Almost unstoppable, it’s a real Juggernaut!
Here is my finished 1/32 Death rig, featuring kitbashed, scratch built, resin and bits bin details. Bashed from a Revell Snap Tite Freightliner model, this project was built as a trade with . The base model was absolute crap and took a ton of work to get it to even look like a truck. Most of the work will never really show as it was required to even get the thing together (did i mention how crap the base kit was) anywho once i got the bashing done the painting was pretty fun, with my standard raider colors. A few things could have been a bit better and a few features were left off due to time constraints (i really wanted to just get it finished and move on) but overall i am happy with what i was able to accomplish and i hope its new owner enjoys it.
As always questions, comments and suggestions welcome.

Thanks a tonnage!
the " Redneck armour" is a term that was use by the usa shortly after after entering Iraq/Afghanistan and realized the Humvee ect did not have proper armor. so they just started bolting sheets of steel and junk to their rides to protect against rpgs and such. here in the usa a redneck is a hillbilly, or a not very classy person so to speak.

Like the dual reinforced front tires.
The funny contrast between new and old weaponry gives a great touch to this one.
Your weathering around the body of the truck is fantastic.
Great stuff!!

Thanks! hahah those front ties were more of a necessity as the kit called for having just singles but the problem was they were only half's(like you could see in one side as they are hollow) and just looked awful,it being an odd scale i didn't have any tires on hand that would work. it stumped me for longer than it should, till i had the bright idea to have duals in front.
yea i thought the newer weaponry while over the top, fit it almost perfect.
thanks again, was happy i could pull this one off and finally get it shipped out.

gotta be able to improvise with what you've got, which, after all, is sort of the point of this whole world you're creating, eh?
Great stuff!
