For those waiting for the F250 4x4 conversion from Fireball Modelworks, the wait is over. Joseph has posted pictures and pricing on his website for the conversions and they look nice! He is taking orders for them! www.fireballmodels.info

IDK, thinking it is an updated Brat more than anything.

The Modelhaus did offer a shortbed conversion but they are no longer in operation.

Welcome David! There is a modeler group called SCMA and they have several shows throughout the state every year. Their next one is in Spartanburg in January and I highly recommend it as there is a decent sized swap area and great bunch of models on the tables. Keep an eye out for the date.

Looks great so far, nice details. The oil cap is upside down, it should read "710" instead of "oil" ! JK,that is a joke in the auto parts biz!

Looks good from here! Nice job on the engine swap and the wheels & tires.

I would love to see some old Dodge pickups come out, their styling might not be as sexy as the Fords and Chevies of the same era, but they were tough trucks. I have the Modelhaus Crew Cab '64 Dodge to build, still trying to decide if I want to make it into a 4wd or build it as the 2wd that Don cast it as. Jeep and International pickups would be nice to have, but most likely from a resin caster. The rest of the trucks shown have appeal, but I don't think they would sell in numbers high enough to justify a kit company tooling them up.

It's always nice to get the unexpected compliments and sometimes when you do, you are left at a loss as to how to deal with them. In this case, there isn't a simple answer. My inclination would be to do as to what was done to you. I am sure you know someone here (or elsewhere) who would love the kit you received and if not, you will find a worthy recipient in due time. It might be via a trade or just a surprise with other items, but I am sure you can give someone a gift like you got.

Beautiful, nice job and love the details like the opening doors.

Another masterpiece Chuck! Love your "different" builds and how you manage to pull it all together.

That is one beautiful, well detailed model. Love the back story!

Buy with confidence, Kris is a great guy, has excellent products and fast service. PM him here.

PM sent.

I think that is just north of the border, but will check here in the states. Most of the episodes I have seen are shown on The Weather Channel.

Funny how when viewed at a different angle, it appears to be much closer to the 1:1.
