restoman Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Just finished. Kind of a fun build, pretty simple with little option on how to put it together. But I'm happy with it. Nail polish provided the exterior colour and a coat of automotive clear gives the shine. Fireball wheels and tires (the kit rolling stock was MIA when I got it), and airbrushed Molotow chrome on the wheels. Looks better than kit chrome, in my opinion. Comments always welcome.

NOBLNG Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Really nice job on that Rubi... it needs some dents and scrapes on that skid plate though, and that chrome exhaust tip wouldn't last long off road! Edit: And you need a hook dangling from that winch. Edited February 10, 2019 by NOBLNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose1957 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Nice looking Jeep. Really like the wheels and tires. I have to get some of those someday. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: And you need a hook dangling from that winch. You know, I seriously thought about all of that while putting it together. Someday when I'm a little better at that sort of thing, it might get done. I do have a hook that I'm going to add, along with an old fuel can, some coiled rope,a long antenna, radio and a first aid box. Thanks for the comments.

Edit: And you need a hook dangling from that winch. I agree on the nice job. He won't get scrapes as I'm sure it is going in a cabinet, unless he has really rough shelves.... then...

Yes, it's the same kit, I just bought one a few weeks ago. It's a curbside, but looks very nice. Next on my build list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
