thejunkman Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I forgot to even make a build thread so here are a few in-progress pics and then the final. I also have a video of the entire build so you can see how I did it. There are also archived live stream videos if you have 5+ hours to waste. Replicating a pickup a friend of mine had in high school so when I saw the Revell Datsun 720 offroad pickup kit I knew what I had to do. The only reference of it is memory and this old VHS video. Below will be pictures that will set up the scope of the project. Full write up here. and more pictures The air cleaner is off the carburetor on purpose. (its an inside joke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewetwo Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Very sharp and looks lust like a Datsun pickup you'd see in the Northeast. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejunkman Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 A little update, this project is evolving to tell a story, or memories perhaps. Putting a memory into a tangible thing. I added a motorcycle, the the exact correct make/model, but it will do the job to convey the story. Video to come!
