Revell Snap-Tite H-1 curbside , pretty far along on the 5th wheel area, just need to box the rear in where the cab stops. Gonna try Testors Sublime green and Dupli-color dark Royal blue 2 tone and shoot the trailer the same way. Did you ever notice the simple builds take the longest ,,LOL...



Any ideas on this build would really be helpful...

Possibly a small rail along the sides of the bed?

[Wildrice]

That is a cool build. I agree a rail down each side will be nice. Color choices will be cool to see when done.

[BIGTRUCK]

Pat & Bob the small rails were a great idea thanks ,heres a mock-up , a little more touch up & lay in the 5th wheel and try some paint in the morning..

[PatRedmond]

Yep, just needed that little ~something~.

Cool stuff.

[BIGTRUCK]

Got some color on this last night , wait on the Sublime green to fully cure then extend the Royal blue onto the body




This was the original idea for this build

[Wildrice]

Hey Ken that turned out great. I can't wait to see it and the trailer together. That green will really turn heads.

[Billy Kingsley]

That looks really fine, Ken! The body conversion is super and the Sublime looks awesome....My favorite color, actually.
After building 2 of that kit I didn't think there was much you could do with that kit, but you (and Matt Trotta) have changed my opinion, I do believe.

[PatRedmond]

Right on !!

[BIGTRUCK]

Came back off the road today and did a little work finish the H-1 interior, I found the color of Kens Kustom Fuzzi-Fur I needed in Oklahoma ,maybe I can get some seat belts done this weekend also , no completed builds in 3 months , I have a few I'm anxious to start on.

built backs for the front seats , rear seat backs cant be seen with the body on

I love that green flocking! I bet if you ground it up some you could make it look like astroturf :?:

[BIGTRUCK]

This ones almost done , just need to clear coat , add all the detail painting and some PE parts , make a rear bumper [maybe a pipe type].Had to mock up the trailer to get the right ride height . Been a productive weekend so far , good ole Tamiya tape comes thru again .

[PatRedmond]

THAT'S an eye-catching set-up !!

[BIGTRUCK]

Longest quick build snap kit I ever did , hardest thing to polish also , to many hard edges . Added PE wipers and all detail paint , just need to find mirrors, been cracking into kits all morning nothing looks right , might have to snatch 'em out of the H2 kit..

[Jairus]

Looks fantastic. Love the color!!!
Hurry up with that trailer... I need a pic!

[Billy Kingsley]

Looking good Ken!!

What kind of mirrors do you need? The Revell 70s Custom van from 2000 has the best "California Mirriors" I've found so far. I don't have any to spare I've already built both my copys with them on there but it may be a place to look!

[MrObsessive]

I never paid much attention to that kit, but yours looks pretty cool Ken! 8)

That trailer is also a neat touch............I just wish I had the display space to show something like that. I guess it's off to Wally World and see about some new shelves!

[BIGTRUCK]

Thanks for all the cool comments on this build , its done , got a set of mirrors off the new style Revell Dodge pickup , added rear plate and tail lights, now its trailer time......................

[Mad Slammer]

Very nice indeed. . .
Great work. I made mine a little different. . .
Take a look. . . 8)

[Wildrice]

Looks great Ken. The colors make it stand out. Can't wait to see the trailer behind it.
