BEHIND THE BUILD

The T3 Mitisushwoop is a heavier type hover truck, inspired by dieselpunk concept art. Built with creating multiple in mind, available colors of elements was strongly kept in mind, and what I had in my collection. Starting with the classic blue, this model is intended to appear as the “default” version of the T3 Mitisushwoop, with other replicated versions showing some vehicle consistency throughout New Hashima. A white model with a dark green red stripe serves as an Octane style version, showing its commercial use for fuel transport. The final version features base colors of lime and sand green, with bits of nougat, olive, and other shades to show a rusted, well-used vehicle by one of New Hashima’s many gangs. The addition of different sticker elements and roof lights, along with the slanted headlights (the base of a joystick, with joystick removed).

The build utilizes SNOT techniques in every space of it, for a smooth rounded hood with sloping grill face, to the side greebling beneath the bed, and slight offsets with the cabin and cabin door assemblies. The build’s core stems from a technic axle, connecting its two primary halves, with SNOT bricks stemming from that connection.
