Toast

Went to the Monster Truck show a couple months ago and have been itching to build some of my own rigs.

First project is starting from the Jurassic Attack kit by AMT. Does anyone have some experience with these kits. the instructions are the most confusing I've ever seen. I'm mocking up the chassis to get the wheel base for it's new body and I think the instructions call out the front shock towers backwards.

I'll get some pics up later.

Glued the last piece on and put on the last dab of paint this morning. Just in time to haul it to a model show!

Thanks for looking.

I built this kit Quite a few years ago. Always had fun building the Monogram Cup cars. Unfortunately I rushed the body to get it entered into a contest and the result wasn't great. The one thing I didn't like about the first Monte Carlo kits was how the body curled in at the bottom of the rocker panels. Before they started making the kits with the slab style bodies I decided I was going to finish another body and take much more time on it. Well, umteen years later, I pulled this puppy out of storage and figured all the hard work was already done. All I had to do was clean it up and get some paint and decals on it.

On to the progress. . . Here's the extra material to make the body continue straight down.


And the rear got some attention as well.


This is how it looked when I pulled it out of storage.


Ready for some detail painting.


Out with the old and (almost) in with the new! I've got a set of Slixx decals to go on the new body.
