War Rig Truck 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Action

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Mad Max: Fury Road is the fourth installment of the legendary Mad Max franchise that is recognized as one of the best action movies of the passing decade. The thrilling sequence of the action-packed road war and the outstanding visual aesthetics of the movie do not lose sight of the compelling story. The plot revolves around the extraordinary warrior Imperator Furiosa who grows close bonds with Immortan Joe’s Five Wives, helps the women flee his tyrannical grasp and fights off a swarm of War Boys not without the help of Max Rockatansky. In the classic spirit of Mad Max, the dangerous journey across the Wasteland takes place aboard a plethora of bizarre custom vehicles, one of them being the War Rig that Furiosa hijacks from Immortan Joe's vehicular fleet. This impressive all-wheel-drive Truck was based on the Tatra T815 and modified with a custom front built from 1947-48 Chevrolet Fleetmaster Sedan. Inspired by such a monstrous vehicle, our contributing 3D artist decided to recreate the War Rig in the form of a 3D model and dedicated over 120 hours working on the project. The front of the truck is equipped with a massive cowcatcher mounted onto tractor digger arms, two Holley superchargers are placed on top of the hood. The grille of War Rig is decorated with human skulls that are Immortan Joe’s distinctive attributes. Both sides are furnished with a pair of tall exhaust stacks. Just like in its original design, the tractor features two pairs of suicide rear-hinged doors that display the interior design when opened. The hubcaps of the truck are armored with sharpened metal to protect the wheels from attackers and deal damage to the enemy’s vehicles. Such an incredible modified Truck has long become one of the icons of the Mad Max franchise, and with the help of Gambody model for 3D printing, it will be the brightest star of your personal collection! Especially, when there are a fantastic War Rig Tanker and a Fuel Pod to complement this epic Furiosa’s Truck!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

War Rig Truck 3D printing model is a highly-detailed assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 144 hours in total. In order to preserve the accurate likeness of the original Tatra T815, as well as the modified movie War Rig Truck, the model was divided into many parts that are to be assembled as if a real vehicle. Taking into account the willingness of our customers to make their 3D printing projects as true to life as possible, the Gambody team prepared two separate versions of the Truck that differ in the type of the suspension assembly (active or static). Thus, various special mechanisms were introduced into the model to make sure that the parts comprising both suspensions, as well as the details of the frame and the floor pan, are both authentic and highly functional (please, see "Versions' specifications", "Assembly video" and photo preview slider). Moreover, in order to stay true to the Furiosa vehicle's massive size, the model was divided into as many assembly parts as needed to ensure that it will fit any 3D printer's build plate. The cutting of the model was chosen to ensure the cleanest 3D printing result possible and to minimize the amount of material needed to print the generated support, e.g. Truck’s grille, decorative skulls, air horn, seats, fifth wheel, fuel tanks, opening doors, exhaust pipes, stick shift, steering wheel, dashboard, cowcatcher, and many many more parts come as separate STL files. All assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. The model's assembly requires additional "pins" to secure the parts of the 3D printed Truck. These pins do not come in STL files but can be made out of short pieces of regular 1.75 PLA. We highly recommend that you watch "Assembly video" in the photo preview section before assembling the War Rig Truck. 

The model is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.

The model's scale was calculated from the actual length of the War Rig's truck that is 8520 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/16 for the FFF/FDM versions.
