Hello, I started working on an 83 Blazer, started with the cab from the Sod Buster kit then cut the back half of an old MPC Rescue Blazer snap kit , I also removed the cap well I was cutting it apart ,it surprisingly it all fit together without too much modifying , I’ll be using the interior tub from the Blazer kit ,I shorten the frame by removing 3/8 of an inch . thanks for looking

Hi. Here are a couple pictures of the Blazer/ Jimmy that I’m working . I will start a thread soon.

Thanks guys for the comments .

Thank you Philippe.

Nice looking Peterbilt , very tough looking .

That’s a real nice looking W900.

Great looking build , the rust spot under the front end looks like it sprung a leak some where .

I want to thank all of you for all the great comments . I was wondering if anyone would catch the bird poo lol . The left rear rim was happy accident I was going to paint all the rims that color but just didn’t like it too dark . I was able to get air and electrical lines hooked and added CB antennas now it is officially completed. Thanks for looking .

I finally had some time to get this finished up . Still need to add some trailer hook up but other than that I’m calling it done . Thanks for looking Mark

I’m calling this done pictures will post under glass soon . Thank you all for the comments .

Brian ,this truck is awesome ,all the scratch building is just amazing. Great job.

Jerry thank you , sorry responding so late I really didn’t have any issues with the front axle turning, sorry I’m not much help .

Thank you Brian the fuel stain is from AMMO wash’s first time I’ve used them. Thank you Hakan. Thank you Jeff , I was going for a truck that worked hard but not abused .the paint turn out alright sprayed right from the cans . Thank you Steve coming from the master of 1/32 scale rigs. Had a little time at the bench today , got the rear wheels done, wasn’t happy with lug nuts that came with the wheels so I used Meng 1.4 mm nut and bolt castings , hung some chains a spear tire on the headache rack , and added some lights also added full fenders and a Loves mud flap (the other flap fell off some where down the road ) LOL . Have too add the roof lights ,horn and mirrors plus other little things. Thanks for looking .

Thank you Chucky , sorry for the late reply.

Well I finally got a break from work and all the usual activities this time of the year . For the most part it’s close to being done the cab is permanently on the frame ,just have to finish up the small details yet light, mirrors and so on. thanks for looking

Thank you Steve it didn’t turn out too bad. I was able to get some detail painting and a set of decals on , you talk about pushing your patience those decals pushed them to the limit . thanks for looking .

Thanks Steve for comment . I did try the decal rivets I couldn’t get them work out so I decided to for go them . Just peeled the tape off the paint job , it didn’t turn out too bad I’m happy with it . Thanks for looking .

Awesome job it’s fantastic looking Peterbilt.

This is awesome build , great attention to detail .

Your off to a great start Gary , it going to be another great looking rig .

Thank you all for the comments. It’s time to move onto the cab since I cut the cab down and did a lot of sanding I lost some rivets want to replace the rivets , I have never use any type of rivet decals . My question is do I primer first then gloss coat or gloss coat then primer over it? any help is most appreciated. thank you

Thank you Steve . Quick update just got the sacks mounted .

Hello All I want too thank every one for all the great comments . It’s been a while sense I’ve been able to get any bench time life gets crazy sometimes. I was able to get a little done today , got all pipe work fitted ,not real happy with the way the exhaust elbows are angled but it is what it is . Also did some weathering I want it to look used but not too abused. thanks for looking .

Hello thank you for all the comments . Was able to get some bench time today, got the engine and transmission installed front wheels , fuel tanks and the radiator are all permanently mounted . Mocked up the exhaust and air intake. Thanks for looking .

Thank you for all comments . Finally had a nice day today so I was able to get the frame painted , the engine and transmission is done . Mocked up the modified front bumper .Now time to try my hand at using some rivet decals on the cab, never use them before so we’ll see how that goes. thanks for looking .
