Building the BATTLE TRUCK..

[What's_nitro?]

The villain can be called R. C. Monster. That's Mr. Monster, for short. Or call him Mike.

So I went out today and got some movie props / IE more money wasted!..

I was looking for (Stagecoach, dolls, farm animals, tumble weeds, etc) but after much wasted time in (toys-R-us, target and wallmart) I came to the conclusion that there are no western toys out there , at least not in LA / OC area..

So now I’ve got an old abandon ghost town that has been taken over by the military performing secret opps. Which kind of works out better now with the town defending itself and all of the toys make cool gunfire and bombing noises and my tank is remote controlled so it can go head-to-head with the battle truck (a little something for TexasSP).LOL . Also the large guy at the back is the major TANG first name Poot






Here’s first dry run / setup an inside look of the shoot / scene “Before” I'm still taking suggestions you have them shoot them out..












LOL.LOL my wife saw it all together for the first time and asked if I was making our kids a play town, my BOY says NOPE mom, DAD is making this town to destroy for the battle truck movie (with a huge smile of his face). At witch point my wife asks me HOW MUCH DID YOU SPEND ??? at witch point I responded with OOOOOooo you really don’t want or need to know so just let it go!.. (After 18+ years of marriage) TRUST ME the honeymoon is long gone and who really cares anymore and after to being married with me for close to two decades she now knows enough to let it GO!.. See you can teach and old horse new tricks, it’s just a LONG, PAINFULL process we AS MEN must go through (for the GREATER GOOD) US!!... HHaaaHHHHaaaHHHaaa..



Have a great one everybody…


P.S.
Last minute adjustments have been made on the names (added) to the movie are now the following.




P.S.S.
Thanks for the great suggestions Guy’s, please keep them coming..

Could you make a small billboard to advertise lincpimp's fishy fingers? Not those little battered strips of fish, but fingers that smell a bit fishy...

I think that major Tang would agree that it is a good idea.

[What's_nitro?]

Haahahahh @ BrianG's store! "Fans and Cooling"

Also, I would like to point out that that Mech pilot is going to PWN your truck with his railgun. If you value your life I would stay away from that thing...

Suicideneil's House of Imports... how very fitting

As for taking a freeze frame of the main forum page- just use the 'prt scr' button and paste it into MS Paint- you may need to scroll down and do another screen capture of the page if it wont all fit on the screen, then just mate up the two halfs and resize it as required.

I also think Lutach should be the villain, always make the foreigner the bad guy. Kind of like Fez from That 70's Show but Lutach instead.

there is a park in KY called Big Bone Lick State Park. No joke look it up

TD this is great you are so creative. thanks for the entertainment. cant wait for the take.

HA great job man. Major tang must be a deceased nba player brought back as a millitary cyborg. It would be nice if the "shop" owners gave you pics and they were in there corresponding window.....or billboard

You need a green turf rug so that it will look like grass instead of concrete (if u plan on leaving it were it is). Also since the military is already there, u need to set up a military roadblock at the town entrance to smash through!

Hay Fast.. I'm taking it all to a construction site, I found the perfect spot where I can fire off my rockets, blast it with paintballs and light the smoke / burn it to the ground when I'm done with it.

Also the idea of the two sentry / IE busting through the main gate (so to speak) is exactly what I had in mind.. That and a guy constantly shooting at my truck with a paintballs (simulating the base defenses) but then again that’s why I have the dual smoke system out the back..

I’ve got the whole scene planned to the tee I just need to get it right on the first try and since nothing has gone right (the first time out) it will at least make one hell of funny blooper real..

P.S. / for what it worth. I’ll be using BRIGHT ORANGE paint balls on the town and the two guys firing back at me through the buildings will be using bright yellow paintballs (that way you can tell who is winning).. Also I’ll be on fully Auto and they will be using burst… just to make it fare..


Thanks for your time everybody and have a great one

Shaun.

Hay guys forward progress still continues.. Today I ordered up two of these for the movie

http://www.rap4.com/paintball/os/rap...ge-p-2082.html





I'm hoping this will add some added coolness to the movie , I’ll place these between the sentry’s and town and hit them as I go on the attack, One will have paint balls and the other I’ll fill with field smoke. They are activated by 3 lbs of weight so in theory they should blow up when one of tires rolls over it !. I'm trying to keep things out the box so to speak..

And I'm officially done spending / throwing money out the window on this movie,: yes: when I added up all of the propos (everything) I was shocked (we’ll leave it at that)

If everything goes as planned I'll be filming this weekend.. (I need to wait for the landmines to show up)
"Landmines", I still cannot believe I got fricken landmines for RC, did you ever think you would see landmines in a RC video?? LOL.. ONLY ON THE MONSTER BABBY!! Well at least they will make things interesting at our next So-Cal bash.. surprise, surprise, surprise!!


the rest of the week I'll spend getting the truck ready for it's beating, making the town and Linc's sign, etc.

Thanks again for everything guys..

Have a great one

I missed this for a few days (work 6:30 -> 11pm+) - Amazing and mad at the same time!

Please don't get hooked on anything more dangerous than RC I'd hate to see what you'd build. ;)

Just amazing!

[bl-is-future]

Td them mines are sweet and expensive. good thing they are reusable I agree with arct1k, you should stick to the rc so we have a world left to live in
