going to ass realism to the brake discs and the rims for the front will be more narrow with less wide lip

yes whell thats what i thought dinky ...

but reality is that they are too wide / bulky ... lets say it starts to look like a jada toy car ...

i can def. use the rims , i have that opel blitz i build .. when i will rebuild that into a hauler i will use the wheels on that perfect in size and width ..

for now i found a set of white walls in a box i forgot about , together with chrome steelies i think it looks wicked ..

will become more vintage looking , the kit bronco also includes a steel window visor .. that will fot with the wheels and style i think

was een leuke gok maar die velgen zijn te lomp , te breed etc ... ik kan ze wel gebruiken voor een ander projectje als ik mijn opel blitz ga veranderen in een custom oprijwagen ..

voor nu deze keus gemaakt white wall banden met chromen steelies , ga iets meer vintage kwa stijl , in de kit zit ook een stalen zonneklep ...

look this is too much .. to wide and to jada like

thnx carl

started on the taillights today , just 2 round hollow plastic bushes against eitch other in the lower section , simple and clean

10246457_450870398379209_651920191901719

then i cleaned the lower seem of the talgate and let the side panellines run through to the bottom so its a whole tailgate with the lights in it

10247399_450870401712542_190786943561022

later i can deside if i will make a strip under the tailgate and maybe some small sideskirts under the side and a front lip under the bumper , maybe even clean the tailgate section in the middle that kind of looks bulky

Very nice Rich, so the side tail lights are gone.?? I like what your doing on this build...

yes the molded taillights that covered the rear and side are gone , i filed them off and put some bondo in the seems , then filed in the bodyline of the side into the corners where the tails where so that runs through ..

everything / all mods i have done so far are bondo-ed and flattened but i figure after primer i will have some monour clean up to do .. nothing major

I believed that you would and I think it will make it look better with the look you have going. I am enjoying your work on this Rich....

because the style is going more towards the vintage look like with the white walls and chrome steelies and i added a visor , i figured the rest did not need to be as clean anymore ..

so i started to make some roofrack rails , since i will put on a surfboard ,, just the first strips will develope further

I know all about those slow going summer builds. I also build real cars, mow yards, have BBQs on the weekends, go to car shows. There just isn't enough time to do everything and build a model.

Keep us posted as best you can, I am really enjoying this build!

i didnt feel like building lately , weather is great , and i cleaned my workshed , got everything tidy-ed up , greased my colomn drill ... and i have loads of nice things to build and do .. so ....

but i just did some work on the bronco .. not much but ...

i made like those indented lines on the hardtop / roof ..

i drawed it out , cut the lines with a knife and ruler , then sribed them with a steel pen , sawed them deeper and finally sanded the edges round

made them cross the panellined from the hardtop

the rear , i made the lines run into the edge of the roof

10303443_457177507748498_140322697196354

seen from the side you can see i glued a strip in the middle of the hood

960208_457177547748494_42745166901625983

like this , when the glue is really hard , i will sand the strip down a lot and get it some shape on the edges so it a slightly raised line in the center
