Platerpants Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Oh yes i went there after all these american vehicles i'm scratch building an import pickup. I honestly think that stakes work for it too. what do y'all think? Now this is my first scratch build attempt so don't expect perfection. It is in the very early stages of being built, what im doing is tracing the body panels onto thin plastic then cutting em out and tracing those onto thicker plastic then cutting them out, i know there will be some freehand panels that cant be made tracing. It will scale out to be 1/25 maybe a little smaller but should be close enough. Edited October 12, 2014 by Platerpants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I don't think Titans have stake pockets, but I think the look is promising. I say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platerpants Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 got the windows open on it trying to piece together the interior and finish the cab. The front seats and dash are from a ford lightning, the back seat came from somewhere in my parts bin. again dont expect perfection but keep an open mind, this is my first scratch project too so input and tips are welcome, This will not have an engine though.

blubaja Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 This looks cool. But the Titan is an all American truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
