Hot Wheels Mad Max Gru-Mobile Custom

Hi noodle

[@tokyosnackdetective8362]

I would suggest adding more dirt and grime on the front grill. It's such a large surface that dust and dirt couldn't NOT avoid collecting there. BTW, I counted 3 times while watching the video where I forgot the car was not metal. That Molotow is really amazing stuff!!

[@3d_alliance]

You should add some mud on the bottom of the gun as the wheels would kick dirt on to it

[@LunaticTheNick]

same thought. also, maybe add some fire effects to the exhaust?

[@GermanPerfectionist]

You should add a snow plow or any sort of ramming device on the front, but at a height that the car will still be able to go off-road. That would be so awesome!

I'm not so sure your concerns about the gun being out of scale are really all that grounded. Before you dismiss me as crazy, hear me out. First according to the height of a Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4 minions tall, which means he is a godly size of 14 feet tall. Furthermore if any of you remember the original Despicable Me, you know there is a scene when Vector kidnaps the three girls and shoots a series of heat-seeking misses at Gru, he then dodges them all. According to the speed of an average ballistic missile (1900 mph) and the size of the missile according to his ankle size, Gru can perceive and move at such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5 miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed. After this Gru punches a shark and it is paralyzed meaning its spine is probably shattered, to remind you it would require a force greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture the spine. That’s equal to the impact created by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30 miles per hour. I rest my case.

[@johnathandennison9933]

capthowitzer wow

[@slushosaur]

I love the body and the wheels but while a really like the shape of the gun that paintjob on it does it a disservice. The sense of scale is ruined by the large blotchy black patches that look more like ink that pooled than an actual paint effect. I'd probably recommend repainting it in a darker gunmetal colour and nuln oil wash then dry brush with a lighter silver. For a grimy gun look i'd say using Agrax earthshade and have you tried the the Citadel Typhus Corrosion Technical paint? It feels so weird to work with but is amazing for rust and caked on mud!

[@joshbrazzell8549]

Man... Those extra parts must have been coming from another solar system

[@averyseeton4037]

Wheels are from jada “just trucks” line They’re perfect for this build, well done

[@jayr5331]

That's is one heck of a Mad Max creation. Really cool.

[@white_truck3820]

I would be interested in seeing how it looks like if the rear axel was narrower. So the tires/wheels hugged the vehicle. Might look terrible... but it looks a little awkward now with the spacers. Or maybe even a different size/style of tire/wheel on the back.

[@rick_.]

Maybe glue one spacer in the middle of the axle and leave the parts that show bare metal....

[@poxyclypse]

Or some struts.

[@razray3994]

You never disappoint awesome job!

[@Adry53customs]

That custom deserves a spot on Twisted Metal Boss Battle

[@samisusamirus]

Always glad to your work - especially custom. Thank!

[@MrIcecolddd]

I think it’d look awesome if you used a toothpick with some bronze paint on the rivets, although it’d probably take until mid 2019 to do

[@Herandro_just_Herandro]

This was INSANELY good. I'm amazed how creative you can be. MAD MAX series is definitely a MUST WATCH.

[@brianrichards8013]

[@SPcamert]

I would love to see the canopy cut off and have the interior from a big Caddy convertible or maybe just pull the floor pan from something completely ordinary like a VW Golf or a Mercedes sedan and then have it be both open top but also still way out of proportion. I think either an extra gas can on the sides or maybe since it's got a jet engine you could make some scale oxygen/nitrous canisters and mount them along the sides of the cabin/canopy. Some fog lamps on the front could be interesting as well. A little scale barbed wire on that grill would go a long way too. Maybe with a little cowcatcher from a train for a front bumper? However, if you keep the front and top the way it is it's just BEGGING for a little WW2-style shark face on the front just above the Gru logo. The thing is basically a ground plane anyway. Love what you're doing and you've really got my imagination going with this one. Can't wait to see the final product.

[@40_PERCENT_DEET]

You beat me to the punch but I also put a comment for the wwll shark sides!!! It would look sooo good!!!

[@Midnightscreation]

Perhaps cutting slots into the front vent to let a light shine through

[@speedy7892]

The chassis that had the offroad tires on it are off of a Greenlight Collectibles Kings of Crunch series diecast. They recently have made diecasts of classic monster trucks and mud trucks and I have a diecast Bigfoot with the same chassis

[@40_PERCENT_DEET]

No it came off the JARU models called JUST TRUCKS

[@hobbitilius]

Wow, that is seriously cool. I'd love to see some oil wash on the front grille, to give it a little more visual depth. Really excited for the next big Mad Max project btw, these fantasy custom models are always incredibly impressive.

[@nmills87]

Fantastic! Can’t wait for this mad max project you mentioned!

[@hi8803]

Those wheels and chassis is from the Jada Toys Just Trucks, great line of toys that are highly customizable. I recommend picking some up. Also great video as always, lots of ingenuity, love it!

[@deadkid2012]

[@namepending155]

Impressive work. Definitely an upgrade. All the rivets make me think more steampunk, like Fallout.

[@Stickman-be9pz]

[@remagairsoftllc]

Something you might be interested in, I found some stuff called Super Alloy 1 that's meant as a zinc alloy solder. You use it like plumbing solder, but it can be used on zinc cast parts. Then you just file and sand it to shape.

[@recoilgaming4123]

That thing needs a smoke stack like a diesel exhaust from a tractor trailer

[@ourhaus9164]

I love the weathering on the panels

[@DaWalkDude]

A few conveniently bent coffee stirrers by the side, a couple of rips here and there and you can have a set of custom exhaust cutoffs that may look cool on the side or back of the mobile! Maybe try a few pieced of choroplast as flares, or cut them as light bars. Some silver paint would fit either great too!

[@rogueguineapig]

I have no ideas worthy of your time, but this is spectacular!

[@13garage._]

that's dope turck now. maybe you could make some panels of different colour, like they we been recently changed because of damage.. bullet holes lol ... and as for me - i am not digging the stock engine. maybe you can find a more apropriate replacement? or even add another gun turret in that place instead, which would be aiming at airborn enemies.... or missiles like on catyusha KAtyusha trucks. great work. big fan.

[@LuisHernandez-dd8em]

[@johnkelley9877]

It looks great! Thanks for sharing this.

[@catfish552]

Some black weathering around the muzzle of the gun is all I got. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for it!

[@ei96byod]

Awsome! I suggest more of a rust-effect. It's a little too shiny yet I think.

[@Brian-Burke]

The paint you used on the side gun is awesome. I've never seen anything like it. Two points: 1. The tires could use a little more brown and less silver imo. 2. You put some sort of paint on the front guns where you said they'll look like they have grease on them, but I didn't notice much difference in the final shot. Either way, I love the Mad Max themed cars and this one is no exception. Great work.

[@toyjacktoycar8471]

Omg.. You are an artist of the car!!

[@13garage._]

as mentioned in comments - headlights and exaust pipe would be super cool add-on too

[@DavidANeely]

Pretty kool can't wait to see it when it's finished

[@delorean8526]

Amazing build! As for ideas, maybe some semi-truck half fenders over the rear wheels that could have chains dangling from the end(like Rictus' monster truck). It could then have a rear gunner on one fender since a vehicle of this size would have terrible handling and be a pain to get that main gun in place. Or maybe a detachable bike hanging off the side to have as a support vehicle. Heck, with a grill that size, you could have a guy chained on the front like Lord Humongus's speaker truck in Mad Max 2, but that might be a pain in the neck to make. Just some ideas to help improve this amazing build.

[@JDProject]

Cool 👍

Oh dammm that monster truck wheels looks so good

[@darthfishis]

Looks awesome and I'm glad it is not finished. maybe you could add some kind of trashy decoration like the truckers soft toys on the front grill or hanging off the gun. I haven't seen you do something like that and a tiny minion would be a nice nod to the car and a cool challenge :) Edit: also maybe a little stand so the gun doesn't hit the wheels. I love you vids and I go through your catalog when I can't sleep. keep it up and thank you :D

[@MiniModelsDiecast]

Wild! I'd never have thought of that for sure!

[@realrcpt997]

U can make the spacers with those clips with the plastic case around them. I take out the tubes from the clips and use the tubbing for spacers and motor tubing as well.

[@68mustanggt500]

Lol this gave me giggles! How about a volcan cannon like the charger a bit shorter located just under the cab above the grill.. And some sort of harpoon opiset the main gun ( other side) also go down the rivet lines with rust.. ( old rail boxcars have a similar constriction) and the rust where water sits on the top of the rivet..the longer rust sits the darker it is

[@TheGameHHH2000]

Bryant Johnson i love the harpoon idea

[@hunzhurte]

*Rally Headlights on top or on the front rounding would look super neat* PS: Maybe do a shot hole through the window

[@haroldbomprezzi2178]

I do like the mad max look you are going for.

[@sesimondo7393]

Very cool. You should add rusty powder, and a front barbwire barrier on the front or something similar. Pls keep doing mad max videos!!

[@uselessDM]

I think something should go on the other side of the vehicle, it looks very lobsided the way it is now. Maybe some sort of winch or other towing equipment to free other Mad Max cars when they get stuck.

[@CowboysOfficialAccount]

Wow excellent detail 💪

[@wall4818]

Pretty sure the original was already decked out with weapons suited for war, so big all-terrain wheels was really all it physically needed. I can't even imagine how big that gun is in the scale the Gru-Mobile was made in.

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Love it , really cool. Mike Espo . Custom Hot Wheels ... Hot Wheels and Match Box cars for Everyone ...

[@thomasryan8218]

A search light , real nice job so far.

[@seisportin]

I've gotta admit, yours is one of my favourite channels on KZbin, I think this needs something in the top of the canopy, maybe a helmet like the red Barron car?

[@calibretto23]

Would love to see the canopy be replaced with an open-air chariot-like podium. Would give him the same gravitas as someone like Immortan Joe. I'd also make your flame vents scorched up and have some nuln oil drippage onto the main body below. I would also suggest some fenders but that might take a while to fabricate. I'm digging it majorly though!

[@jeffhreid]

Love it, great work. But that chrome came out soo nice, sad to see the shiny go

[@CarterLiftsNow]

How about getting wiring poking out of the chassis to the engine/rockets and maybe some lights

[@marcocinquini1985]

[@DreamHachi]

I think that grille could use some more detail. it lacks depth, kinda just blends in with the body

[@dakel20]

I think the rear wheels really need to be brought closer together to give it a tadpole shape, however I doubt you want to modify it at this point. I know I wouldn't... So, I'd say its pretty bloody awesome all in all.

[@chassegallerie2910]

Quite nice. I would've kept the camera on the gun, as to make it look as that the driver and the crew of the vehicle could make precise targetting without getting out of the vehicle.

[@RyanIsRyan_]

[@bengreenhotwheelsandvideos9805]

very creative,nice work

[@briand7381]

Looks cool. I feel the axels need some thin rod support braces. Like a bridge or control arms. And this vehicle would prob be front wheel drive. :)

[@drokkerelq]

Another option to get rid of the plastic fuzzies after drilling. Try using thin plastic cement, like Tamiyas Thin or Extra thin. Simply brush it on the affected area and let dry. It will actually melt those fuzzies. I like it because while the lighter method is effective, it can easily get away from you and melt the piece.

[@baremetalHW]

True... I think acetone would also take care of them

[@drokkerelq]

Thanks for the reply and the alternative. While I don't modify or restore die-cast cars but paint miniature figures, i enjoy and appreciate the effort you put into these videos. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[@ericmcginnis2097]
