signguy2108 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Kind of an off the wall project. 1/25 scale(the Volvo is for comparison) Made out of .040 styrene, (W/M "moving sale signs!), wheels are from a Just Trucks diecast, make build stock wheels for it. It will be a slammer with an interior and sliding side doors. (I hope!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 That's a cool idea for a project. You've got a nice start on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Great start, you should chop it a couple of scale inches if you are going to slam it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Larry, did you have a set of plans for that body? That is looking spectacular! I've been wanting to replicate a van like that for years now. Not the best photo, but this was my bomb truck.
