"They didn't want me "for Predator" ! "They lost a winner !" - J.C. VAN DAMME.
After seeing the film, it was imperative for me to make this model truck, the first in a series, the second of which would be the "Fortress" truck. It was truly original, futuristic, with the trailer blending in with the tractor. I was unable to open this one for lack of documentation. The base is a 1/25th scale Kenworth frame and cab. The very wide off-road tires - originally three half-wheels glued together - bring us to 54 pieces ! The entire structure is made from Evergreen card and plastic rods, lead sheet and drawing board for much of the trailer. It's finally painted with HUMBROL oil and salted with pastel powder. The basic figure is an academic nude PREISER...
