The Doof Wagon

Personal project. 100% modeling

The vehicle is based on a MAN LKW 15 t mil gl KAT I A1 (8x8). It is a 15 ton class vehicle modified with a wider track of 2,900 mm, that serves as carrier and launcher systems of the Roland and Patriot weapon systems.The four-axle truck is powered by a Deutz 8-cylinder Diesel engine with 360 hp, turbocharger and intercooler. Like the 5-, 7- and 10-ton classes, some of the vehicles have a Rotzler winch.

Building air ducts were used as sound tunnels, which amplify the sound of four massive drums. A wall of functional speakers transmits the sound from The Doof Warrior's guitar, which - along with the Doof Warrior himself - is also suspended on bungee cords. The Doof Warrior's stage is made of Holden FJ front end. The design of the guitar is built around a bedpan, which Miller loved, but he was surprised the guitar did not actually work. He ordered the design team to make the guitar functional, so real guitar pickups, strings etc. were installed, even though the actual sound of that guitar is not used in the movie and not all speakers were wired to function as well. The flamethrower on the guitar is real and functional, controlled from a whammy bar.
