[Dodge Magnum srt8]

Well this one is done! ? It can be viewed at here:

Well the magnum is done! I wanted to finish it before the March 19th model meet so I can say I succeeded lol. 

Pretty straight forward build. Wheels and push bar is from a lindberg charger police car. The hemi billboards are a combo of paint and decals. Custom sub box and audio stuff from my parts box. 

It went together pretty well, except the headlight lenses suck to install lol.

 But I'm super happy with the way it came out. Exactly how It looked in my head ?

 

[Dodge Magnum srt8]

Thanks guys. 

 I got a good chunk done on the magnum tonight, the end is near ?

I finished and detailed the engine, engine bay and chassis. Chassis still needs some weathering tho. And got everything mated together for the final time. 

Pretty happy with the kit except I hate the how the headlight lenses fit lol.

 

[Dodge Magnum srt8]

Thanks everyone! I'm with most of you I have always thought these cars were too cool. Might have to find one someday lol.

Anyways the Interior is done! Pretty much box stock expect i built a sub box for it since the hatch is operable lol. Detailed and the carpet is flocked with embossing powder ?

Thanks guys. Yeah i knew it was based on the Syclone kit that's why I built it with the hood shut.

Those things caught my eye too! I owned an 82, 88 and a 91 and while I would love to build this kit, I think I will pass as the obvious details that are wrong are a deal breaker for me. 

Nice! I've got a 99 sonoma, little newer then those but I love them all. This is my project.

 

[Dodge Magnum srt8]

Well here is my latest wip. It's revell's 06 dodge magnum srt8. I've always liked these cars and I saw one the other day lowered on steel wheels so I had to dig thru the stash and dig this kit out. 

Wheels and tires are from the lindberg charger police car as is the push bar. Lowered suspension and I made some decals for it but only ended up using the word "hemi" and painted the rest. 

The interior and chassis have base coats, once dry they'll be ready to detail

Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys! And yes there is many wrong things about this kit but it still displays pretty nice. 

[Amt 1/20 1993 GMC Sonoma]

Hey guys long time since I've posted here. I got out of the hobby for a few years while going back to school and stuff. Well with it being winter and the 1:1 in storage I decided to get back into this hobby. And I'm loving it again

Well here is the my 93 sonoma based on the recent reissue of the lindberg 1/20 kit.

Overall happy with the end result, but tbh this kit isn't very accurate or goes together particularly well lol the front grill isn't correct, it sits way too high outta the box, it only included decals for the sides and not the front and rear bumpers, completely wrong engine(so it's built with the hood shut) etc... lol 

Modified suspension to sit stock, drilled out the ends of the exhaust tips and mirrors from a revell/monogram first gen s10. Other that it's basicly box stock other then basic paint detailing.

It's not a bad build by anymeans but me being a s-series nut I can find the faults

 

[GMC s15/sonoma Updated 7/3/15]

Actually i do have an update on this truck. I have gotten out of the hobby because i don't have the time to build anymore. Just trying to save as much money as possible before i go back to school. But this is the last thing i have worked on, i might finish it before the summer but don't count on it.

I used a aoshima Toyota hilux for its frame, but cut and shortened to fit the s10 wheelbase. I also cut out the frame so i can fit a motor in there. I used a syclone front grill and modified it to fit the s10 bumper so it would resemble a stock s15/sonoma grill. I've still got a sealed kit to build as a stock truck, just decided to do something different with this one.

I wish had more time and money to build, but right now my priority is my schooling, I'll probably come back at some point but once i finish school 1:1's will be my main priority.

[50 ford pick up]

Thanks everyone! This was my first attempt at weathering with this method, I think it came out pretty well. Still not finished with it either.

[50 ford pick up]

So it's been awhile since I have posted anything. I've been building just no chance to share. Anyways i started this 50 ford pickup. Going to be pretty much box stock except for the wheels. I'm going to build it all restored except for a weathered body. I seen a TV show and kinda got inspired by they're builds so I wanted to give it a shot.

I'm going to add some washes and powders too. Just thought I would share my latest project since I don't post much anymore.

[99 Sonoma]

Well here is an update on this project.

I've got the cab pretty much finished, Just needs a little more fill work and add some trim for the rear windows to sit on.

Now I've been working on the front end, I've got the front grill almost done, and the bumper is started. The bumper still needs alot of work. I have yet to start the headlight housings.

And some interior parts and rear bumper from a revell 99 silverado, still need alot of work to fit and look like the 98+ interior in my truck. I might not use the door panels, I'll see.

Also shaved the rear gate since that is a modification I want to do to the 1:1 eventually.

I plan on finishing the cab and front end and then onto the interior.

['96 c1500 shorty]

Thanks guys! They are Pegasus 23 T's. I have a set of 19's too but I thought they were too small for this build.

['96 c1500 shorty]

Well here is a long over due update on this truck. I painted it shortly after the last post. Paint went bad so I pulled out a second kit and painted that one. That also went down hill so I got discouraged and put it away.

Well now I decided to get it back out and open it all up. Hinges are finished and now it needs door jambs.

[99 f350 plow truck]

This is all done. I'll post some final pics soon.

[99 f350 plow truck]

Thanks guys.

I already have a speccast and I did that one as a landscaping truck.

[99 f350 plow truck]

Thanks everyone!

And I might start a build thread on that camaro eventually.

[99 f350 plow truck]

So I started this one a while ago and kinda lost interest in it till a few days ago. It's just a basic maisto 1/27 diecast f350. I added the plow and decals from revells gmc plow truck. It's not really correct but it will do. Then scratch built a salt spreader and weathered it quite a bit. wanted to give it a well used look kinda like it has been used in many trucks. Now I'm working on finishing up the plow and details on the truck. Just thought I would post what I have done so far.

I didn't take many in progress pics of the spreader, but it was pretty simple to make.

[Foose 1/12 Scale '69 Camaro]

Well I think I found a solution for the tires. I had some 1/4in wire loom sitting on the bench for the 1:1 but I never got to it yet lol. I decided to cut a piece to length and stuffed it inside the tire. Seems to have made it round again and also makes the tire more firm and supportive.

[Foose 1/12 Scale '69 Camaro]

I put the front and back wheel parts together yesterday and it seems to be slowly turning back to being round but there is still a flat spot. It's not as obvious as before but it is still there.

[Foose 1/12 Scale '69 Camaro]

So I just picked this kit up and I am very pleased with it except for one thing. These hollow firestone tires for the stock wheels are all flat on one side where they were attached to the tree. Anyway to fix that? I'm thinking about putting something in there to fill them but I'm not sure yet?

Here's a pic

The new wheels tires are awesome and very well done. The new tires are exactly the same tread pattern on my 1:1 which are BFGoodrich kdw g-force t/a's.

[85 Camaro]

Thanks guys! Appreciate the comments.

[85 Camaro]

Thanks everyone! It's the revell/monogram kit. I found everything fit pretty well, the hood was fine in my kit. I really like this one and I'm glad you guys do too!

[85 Camaro]

So I haven't been building much at all. Been a lot of things going on but before winter I painted a few bodies to have so I could continue to build and this revell 85 camaro was one of them. I was going to build it box stock but then I added the Pegasus wheels, upgraded brakes, and lowered the suspension. Then I decided to add a motor with a little more power lol. Used some parts box headers and used a combination of a corvette exhaust cut and modified and aluminum tubing. Interior is all stock except I added some vette seats and flocking. Overall I'm really happy with this build and it turned out to be a lot of fun.

[Let's see your scale plow trucks!]

Here's mine I built earlier this year, pretty much box stock revell gmc plow truck. Just added a few details and weathering.
