Project 000 -- IDEA -- Happy Toyz Truck

Chris Greathouse
Movie -- Maximum Overdrive

Watched this movie yet again. Such a fun campy movie 🙂 I want to make this sometime next year if I can find help with the goblin head and decals.

Michael Hickey
Keep an eye out in toy shops and cheap $ dollar shops for the goblin head. The decals would be easy enough to make at home on your computer.🙂

Bob Hall
Or just go down the sticker Isle at the Hobby Lobby for the trailer. A 12 inch action figure of Spider Man's Green Goblin head would work for the front end face, you would just have to cut and trim to fit.

Bob Hall
Something similar to this.

Ebay.com Item - Marvel Spider Man Titan Hero Series Green Goblin 12 Inch Action Figure NEW 2017

Michael Hickey
That's a pretty cool match.

Bob Hall
And according to the IMDB the truck was a 1981 Western Star 4800, if you are so interested in knowing.

Michael Hickey
Cool.👍

Tom ...
I think Bob is a google bot.... just say'n

Bob Hall
No, Just your run of the mill movie nut, Chris sparked my curiosity of the movie again and started watching it again tonight and read the Trivia section on IMDB and learned some real neat stuff.

Tom ...
Bob, I mean it as a compliment. You should put in for detective... but I guess you would'nt get to drive fast cars as much then...

Bob Hall
Yeah ! Not the Desk type, I'll leave all the Dic work to the Rangers, I'll just keep rolling the Highway's ! LOL !!!!

Holy crap... I didn't expect so much activity on this post, this concept must be exciting 😄

@Bob, I know it's a 1981 Western Star 4800, but when looking through scalemates, The closest to that was the 4964 (I think).

@D. Meer I was thinking it would come down to being a 3d printed object, Thanks for the shapeways find.

Danny Meer
No problem Chris, It's a great idea. Thinking about it to buy 1 myself for 1 of my rc's 😄 Would be nice to see it build..and gonna watch the movie again tonight 😛
