Platerpants Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Well i just had to have it and EVILBAY had to have my money.... Revell's 2017 Raptor in scale form. Well its a side project gotta get the Escalade and Silverado Done. Just did a quick build for now. I will be keeping the blue and maybe do the raptor decals. I do also have a 2011 on preorder. And a 97 Raptor oh wait thats my 2500$ beater i own... The little S10 is my buddy who owns the green Chevy 2500 i replicated.

Toast Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Ha ha, they already have the 2017 out?! No wonder they can't get the 2011 onto the shelves! Looks like it'll be a fun project, I dig the blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelson Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have yet to see any Raptor's show up on ebay,guess they're being bought as fast as they show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platerpants Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 found some interior pictures online. Looks pretty snazzy for a sport/fun truck. Lots of stitch work more than i would do in scale but the accents i can do, the interior on the model definitely needs work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platerpants Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 under close examination i decided it needs to sit higher so i will be modifying the height too... Also it lacks the dual exhausts under the rear bumper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tryed to work with those lights the best i could, hardest part of the build. next step is axles so that it might sit right Edited January 25, 2015 by Platerpants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yup! your lights make it 100 times better. You're building up a very nice version of this pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platerpants Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks. Got a little axle work done for the rear. And set it with my Concept GT500 (This photo was taken before i started the axle mod) Started by lifting the rear a tad more using parts numbering tabs from a spue setting the pumpkin and then cutting metal tubing.
