  1. Got the Bronco wrapped up. Paint is Testor's one coat orange, kit decals, pretty much box stock, just a lot of detailing

    The chrome on the tailgate is from a Ford F-150 kit, I made the exhaust tip out of evergreen tube

    Under the hood, the Bronco got a lot of paint detailing, a partsbox air filter, and a dipstick made out of craft wire dipped in paint

    The inside recieved a scratch built roll cage, rebel flag headliner, coke can, and flocking

    The chassis was paint detailed, I added diamond plate mounts under the rollcage

  2. Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, life got in the way! Here is some progress on the Camaro: I have a roll cage almost finished

    The shifter is from Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland

    I got the tires sanded and detailed, the wheels painted, window decals on, chute mounted and wired, and some burnout rubber on the quarters

    I also lowered the front end, it will have this stance when it's finished

  3. Hey everbody! I have not had much time at the bench lately, once the semester ended I went back to work full time. I did manage to get some work done on the chevys though:

    I'm working on getting the body smooth, still contemplating a standard cab conversion.....

    Kinda nice that this kit all ready comes with a shaved tailgate, but the way the rear fender extensions meet is very abrupt so I added some plastic to make the transition smoother:

    Onto Big Red, I have the front suspension mocked up, got the wheels and stack painted, and added bedcoat. Thanks to some of the members from MAMA, this is the first body I have ever tried to polish, it isn't done, but man will it be shiny!

    Bedcoat is actually the real stuff you can buy in a spray can from the parts store; NOTE: Rustolem truck bedcoat from Home Depot is the best I have used. This truck has Duplicolor bed armor and it did not work as well.
