I managed to build this in time for the NNL East. I literally pulled an all-nighter and finished a half an hour before I left to go.
I was contemplating building the large scale Poncho when Dave built his. I asked him, Jay, Clay, and TJ a MILLION questions, and I just wanted to thank them. I can officially say that this was the biggest pain in the ass build I have ever done. You were right, Dave. I had to scratch built and / or modify pretty much everything, including the fuel cell / entire trunk area, roll cage, engine, etc. a BIG thank you to patto @ www.pattosplace.com
Feel free to comment - good or bad.
List of stuff:
AMT 1/16 kit,
Tamiya blue & Tamiya yellow,
Patto's Place decals,
mesh grills,
window net made from plaster netting (the stuff you use to fix plaster walls)
Detail Master line
scratch built fuel filler
hood hinges on front & back
Again, thanks guys!
