That looks so good T-Nu. The fact that you took out a flipping welder to this thing blows my mind. Also, throughout this video you kept using a lot of very STRONG connections that makes me think you have some sinister plans for this truck. WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE SO DURABLE!

Dang. Not only did you take me back to my 1980s self being blown away by the raw awesomeness of Road Warrior, but you created a seriously hard core scale model of the tanker using materials and techniques rarely seen in the mini world. Welding? Actual metal work including templates? Yes, yes, yes! Fan-freaking-tastic.

This is just awesome! And it means a lot that this is something you started over a year ago, and then came back to. A lot of folks have partly finished things sitting around, and we quietly grumble at ourselves for not finishing them. But this gives us hope, you know? We can come back to these things when we're ready, or have more skill to finish it.

I love the videos where Daddy is commenting. the banter is one of my favorite parts! Love the channel! Great video!

The amount of detail you put into that is insane TNu! Such an awesome build! Thanks for the shout, hopefully the pastels didn't struggle too much for for ya, always turns out grainy if they do

"You were feral." 🤣🤣👌 Great video T-Nu, looks awesome!!!

T-Nu getting fancy here with "Thermal Gloves". I just use oven mits or my calloused hands. Still watching the video, but I had to get that out of my system.

I’m a simple man - I see a Cajun craftastrophe video and I click it. I’ve learnt something from every one of your videos. Thank you.

Absolutely killed it T-Nu! You are getting real good at using all different types of materials to get to look you want, I really liked the Eva foam and holes cut in the paper, those pipes are looking sick!

Make the war rig

I’ve never seen THE ROAD WARRIOR. ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK was my too violent for a kid movie. Watched this video and then watched it again with my wife. She loves your videos as much as I do.

I'm glad you paused it for a year - you totally nailed it!

I love The Road Warrior. Good job, T-Nu. Brilliant. Now let's see you make a diorama of Lord Humungus and Max.

You made this Aussie smile. Epic skills mate, and your old man is a bloody legend. Peace from Oz.

This is the best thing you have ever made. The attention to detail is truly impressive.

So much crafty-goodness here! Love the steering wheel, that cap had the perfect texture! The little doggo looks great! Love the use of templates and such. So many materials and tools...Multiple clays, water slide decal...power tools laser cutter, laser printer, welder, etc. Wow, you really involved a bunch of different things and so many details on this project - what a labor of love! ps- I've been working on something and was using balsawood, but after watching this, I think I'll switch to polystyrene. Also after watching this, I'm gonna hafta watch The Road Warrior again. (Love that Gyrocaptain fellow.) Season 3 sure started with a BANG! xoxo

Absolutely fantastic attention to detail

I think this qualifies as a doctoral dissertation in Road Warrior. You can now add Doctor of Road Warrior to your resume. Dr. T-Nu, RWD.

That looks Fantastic,,, Mad Max 2 is without a Doubt the Best Movie i've seen. (from my perspective) I grew up watching Mad Max from a child, & it has influenced my life enough that i got into Cars, motorsport and eventually into Demolition Derby. Great Video,

Extraordinary build, and your humour is unmatched, dear.

Going back and finishing a project later after you've gained more skill is a mark of a true craftsperson.

Impressionante a riqueza dos detalhes..........o cara realmente é um artista!!!!!!! Parabéns!!!!

Yes! This turned out amazing! 👏🤩

Excellent work, T-Nu! "The Road Warrior" is definitely in my Top 10 Favorite Movies List of all time, and this build brought back a LOT of memories! You really hit all the high points when building your (albeit not exact) replica of this iconic rig; which is arguably the most famous movie tanker truck only second to the one depicted in "Duel." Another famous movie truck that I'd like to see a model of, (but that is largely ignored by hobbyists,) is the Korean War-era GMC M211 truck used to transport the unstable dynamite in the 1977 movie "Sorcerer." (That bridge crossing scene was intense!) Please consider that one for a future project.

I arrived here because of the build... which is awesome... but Dad has the best side-talk! I'm always chuckling and laughing at what he has to say. Thanks for that!

That is amazing, I would love that, thanks for keeping the Road Warrior alive. ❤

The final product looks amazing. It’s very clear how much work went into this build.

I love this build T-Nu.

Who ever is doing this recreation of the Mack tanker truck in Mad Max: 2 is very Awesome. I liked it very much 😀

I can’t even make any suggestions here. This is my all time favorite movie and you nailed this thing!

Fantastic work, great to see something so accomplished after setting it aside for a year.

That s one fantastic build . Great representation of the war rig MAD MAX 2...... You certainly watched the film many times to get that much attention to detail 👍

One of my gaming buddies remembered l did this with a Hess truck after seeing yours ... mine will never see the light of day again... top marks.

Funny enough. Never thought this movie could have another title... for me it's always and forever "Mad Max II" (as it came in the theaters in Germany). The model looks insane... great work, excellent job.

This was absolutely incredible from start to finish, wow! I love seeing vehicle builds, so this was such a treat! Those shots of it in the dirt at the end were fantastic, definitely looks like it belongs there. All of the tiny details and weathering added so much story to the piece and I really enjoyed the spattering of dirt around the tires haha! So good~

Pretty amazing, T-Nu. Thanks for sharing it. I can't get over all the little details. Wow.

Thanks T-Nu! Loved it, and welcome to 2023!

Fun build! Looking forward to seeing more!

I don't know why this showed up on my list of recommended vids, but I'm glad it did. When "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" opened in June of '82 I saw it opening night with a friend. By the time I left the theater it was my favorite movie of all time. I was on pins and needles for "The Road Warrior", having been one of the few Americans who saw "Mad Max" in the theater. I was hoping it would be good, but I had no idea what I was really in for. So two months after "Star Trek II", there is a Sunday night single showing sneak preview of "The Road Warrior" at the Crestwood Cinema in Saint Louis. My mom and I go. I'm less than a month from my 16th birthday. It's a hot August night. My mind was blown. From the opening montage to the end epilogue I was entranced. I nearly cried when the black on black got rolled and eventually blown up. And of course my heart sank when the dog got killed. But "The Road Warrior" became my new favorite movie of all time, putting "Star Trek II" in 2nd place. I think I saw "Star Trek II" with that same friend at least 3 more times, and with my mom once. I saw "The Road Warrior" the following Saturday with another friend, and we went back to the same theater to see it again at least 6 more times. We eventually also saw it on a double-bill with "Bladerunner" along with his dad and a friend of ours. I also remember going to a dollar theater with my mom to see it again months later. When it came out on VHS the following summer I rented it, borrowed a friends VCR and we dubbed a couple of copies. I may actually still have that copy to this day, in addition to a Laser-Disc (YES!!! LASER-DISC!!!!), DVD, and Blu-Ray. I also have the original soundtrack LP which I bought at a convention before I even saw the movie, and a couple of theater one-sheets (the A & B versions). In 2001 I was fortunate enough to be at the San Diego Comic-con and to meet and get the autograph of Virginia Hey who played the Warrior Woman. I had a digital camera with me and after I got her autograph I went off to the side and took a few photos of her talking to other people. In late September or early October of that year, a friend called me and left a message on my machine, "I'm in Collinsville at Archon. Virginia Hey is here. Print up one of those photos of yours and bring it for her to autograph. I did so. I put it in front of her and asked, "Can I get your autograph on this"? She looked at it for along moment and asked me, "Where did you get this"? I replied, "I took that last summer at the San Diego comic-con". She loved the photo. And she autographed it for me. I treasure it to this day. There have been a lot of great movies since, so... can I say that "The Road Warrior" is still my absolute A-number-one fave? Maybe not. But the black-on-black Interceptor... at least the original "Mad Max" version is my favorite car ever. And the big truck from "The Road Warrior"? Definitely one of my favorite post apocalypse survival vehicles. You did a good job on this. I'm subscribing and seeing what else you've done.

Top tip for glue residue, Zippo lighter fluid and a cotton ball. Takes it right off nice and clean.

I was 11 when this film came out in the US in the summer of 1982. I didn’t get to see it until it was broadcast on NBC until 83/84. I recorded it on the ole Panasonic VCR. I then duped it onto my grandparents Betamax. I then transferred it back to VHS, carefully editing out the commercials. NBC had made a few cuts here and there to allow it to air on network tv. They did a pretty great job keeping it inline with the theatrical version. That was a rare thing indeed. The TV version of Smokey and The Bandit that ABC aired a few years earlier was ridiculously unwatchable. This version of the Road Warrior became my definitive version. I watched that tape over and over. I hooked a tape deck up to my VCR and copied the audio onto a cassette tape so I could listen to it in my Walkman and later my first car. It’s now hard for me all these years later to watch the American theatrical version and even original Australian version. It just feels off. Ps. You know what’s weird… I think my son had that Nylint Truck set in the 90’s.

Dang your skills keep leveling up! The weathering on this thing is just pure art!

Wow. Just wow! So much skill, so many nuggets. My hat’s off to you!! 👏

Awesome! I totally expected to see a 1/24th scale model kit as the starting point. When you unboxed that Nylint truck, I was surprised; and later, amazed! That was fantastic! Keep it up!

This came out great!

That's so badass! The whole thing looks killer.

This looks so sick! Great work as always T-Nu!

Dude! Every detail is amazing! I’m truly inspired by all the techniques you use! (Also, strongly recommend reading Blood, Sweat, and Chrome by Kyle Buchanan. Its mostly about Fury Road, but it’s got tons of info on all the movies)

I watched this movie by accident, don't regret any second! I'm shocked amazed and speechless!!! What a awesome job you did don't give a f... is 3 well or two😃 the amount of work and details simple amazing😍😍😍 don't know what to say more, maybe just thanks allot you show us your art😍😍😍

Outstanding!!! What a episode! Thank you!!

Thanks T-NU, Thumbs up as always.

great way to start a new year and new Season, T-Nu! I love that this was a paused project, and to see your skills have grown, in your craft. All now you need it a road warrior action figure T-Nu, to drive the truck. Also, your Daddy's training for a "Wasteland" sounds like it would of been "fun" growing up ;3

So cool, the conversation and the model itself.👍👍👍

Excellent work T-Nu! I'm a big fan of the Road Warrior film, as well and consider it the best of the original "Trilogy" of films. I get where you had to put the project down for a while. I've had a few of those moments myself and there's nothing wrong with coming back when your skills are better! Level up!

As a huge Mad Max fan and a trucker, this video ticked all my boxes. Excellent work!

I really enjoy the banter between father and son.. and as always your builds are top shelf. They sure don't make toys like they used to.. Great job brother.

Sculpting a dog??!! Wow that is some advanced level stuff!

Excellent work!!! I love it.

That came out really great, T-Nu!

What a way to start Season 3! Got to say your Mad Max war rig looks awesome! I've always been partial to the mack truck before it becomes the war rig personally, but this looks really amazing. Here's to another year of crafting

Absolutely amazing

Looks FANTASTIC!!! I grew up in Australia and this film (We called it Mad Max 2) was a huge part of my childhood.

IN-FREAKIN-CREDIBLE!! AND THIS IS WHY I KEEP COMIN BACK TO YOUR CRAFTIVERSE!! TO ME,THIS IS EXCELLENT! THANKS FOR BRINGING US ALONG,AND ENTERTAINING US WHILE WE GET TO PEEK OVER YOUR TALENTED SHOULDER!! BIG THUMBS UP!!

Lost for words just amazing 🎉

Great job !

Dude this project is absolutely incredible! Well done! I’m so glad you came back to finish it!

"I am gravely dissapointed you haven't subscribed"....... I totally lost it there, and subscribed.

Epic build, you never fail to impress!

A major success. Hip ttunes throughout. Next level work and a great audition for working at Weta. Obvious thing to me is putting your cell in a hole to film the truck driving over it.

Amazing, that looks so good! I also watched the Road Warrior a couple of times too many as a kid, but I still love it. If I had to picka a single favorite movie, Mad Max 2 probably would be it!

Oh, what a wonderful build, mate. The detail, the colours and the effort you put in it, amazing. The Road Warrior is one of my favorite movies of all time, too. So extra thank you for that. And Claude, sir, I whish you were my dad back than the movie came out. I had to persuade my dad weeks and weeks to rent the movie on vhs before I could finaly watch it.

Pretty f'n awesome 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘

Ahhhh Cher, shout out from Hancock Co MS. Love it, awesome job!!!!

Very cool!

Cool build.

Awesome 👏👏👏👏👏

Awesome detail, especially with the rust/weathering, and I love your commentary!

Muito Bom o seu Trabalho. Ficou perfeito. Parabéns. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wow! Great job!

That was an amazing build- great work T-Nu.

I lost it when your dad said. you didn't talk till you were six, you were farel. Great job.

That is absolutely amazing 🤘

Very Cool! What kid wouldn't want that in his sandbox? 😝

Love it. Great project!

My GOD, was this awesome! 😳 You just got yourself another sub, dude!

1:47 To remove such a sticker from any surface, first soak it with regular cooking oil. Wait a bit. And then remove it with a cloth or cotton pad, etc. I know, it sounds like magic, but it is very effective! 😊🤗😘

I usually watch several videos from a channel before determining if I want to subscribe. This is the first video of yours that I've watched, and it was so entertaining that I subscribed before I hit the 5 minute mark. Awesome!

Fantastic job 👍👌💯♥️

Awesome...

DANG SON! Killing it as usual T-nu! Thanks for the great video 👏 👏

I had the same Rocky Horror book when I was a kid! also, nice cameo of your wife’s paintings 😊

Excellent build

Ive watched this video atleast 5 times and its awesome every time. Love your content!

This is one my favorite projects on the channel! It looks incredible, I love the attention to detail. You used some really cool techniques, I especially like how you did the barbed wire! Thanks for another awesome video

I loved every minute of this! I wish the video had been twice as long. One word to describe this build, Excellent!

Beautiful work 🤯 looks like a movie prop ! I really enjoyed watching you create it thanks 😎

Kudos to you, excellent job!!!

Badass build T-Nu!! The added bit of actually welding the truck was a great addition to the overall scrap feel of it. I also watched this movie a lot as a kid, brought back some good memories!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!

This is awesome, man, thank you. I've already made a 1/18 Interceptor and this is my next project, so this will really help.
