thnx and yes when i saw that truck roof light in my partsbox i imidiatly saw it becoming a cool scoop

awome

well personally i think everybody should build like they want and how they have the most fun building a model.. i think aftermarket stuff is so populair because peopel always want to keep growing in thier passion / hobby and therefore after a while search for that bit extra.. and i dont believe that you would not be able to beat a person who draped their model in p/e and aftermarket stuff with a good build model without that stuff. so imo you def. could beat others who did use aftermarket stuff with a build model without aftermarket stuff , as long as you produce quality .. then there is the matter that i personally never entered a contest and dont have plans to do so , i build because its my passion , i share it on forums and if people like it thats cool if they dont also cool .. sometimes people tend to overthink stuff about hobby's , it will always be in the eye of teh beholder and everybody has certain ways and things they like , respect eitch other and .. and if its just a case that you want to win a contest and think you cant without pe / aftermarket stuff , save up buy stuff and test it out (not ment badly) if i speak for myself > you wont see me buy expensive p/e stuff or aftermarket stuff , i always try to add stuff bu scratching and thinking out of the box myself .. thats the fun that i have in this hobby .. you won't see me building a kit stock like it should be build , but i do respect people who do and who research stuff and want to get as close to the original as possible . not my cup of tea but i do like to watch those guys .. well could go on like this for .... but thats my 2 cnt's

spend some good hours today , filing , sanding , fitting wood on this pic its still real rough , i masked the blue front body off with tchick alu heating tape and filed the wood alonf the front body in the same shape on this pic you can see that the wood body is curved both horizontal and vertical then started the first round of sanding , filing etc to get some more shape and make it less rough , needs loadsmore but now the shape is starting to show from very thin wood witch i got by peeling the layers of the scale pallet i was able to make a panel on top behind the rear seats , thats already flattened now flush with the frame (not on this pic) then i realised that same stuff could work around the wheel wells and it did , i was able to make the bend without breaking the wood , well at least in the end i broke like 3 peices before i got both wells covered then build up the wood work some more dryfit , now underneith the door there will be a piece of wood later on and on the rear wide section i will let the horozotal bar run through with that same thin wood this was the easyest way to do this , filling in all those shapes was pretty challenging more to come

awsome , those headers / exhaust look great

awsome kit and nice progress !

clean , looks great

never heard of such kits , sound cool building this one i already start to think about a nother woody , maybe a later model wagon of some sort

cool ! i like it

thats cool , looking great already

well .......................... the edges are round wood so when its all dry i will sand the edges flat with the other wood but on the inside it then will run nice and round all the wood work is rough some parts i let stick out a bit so i can sand curves in it the rear darker bar of wood sits loose because i first have to make a round piece of wood along the wheel well. thats the hardest part i almost could bend some wood but every time i almost got the bend it broke , also making it wet didnt help. so now i will add some strips together and cut it out round on the flat side , hope that will do the trick really beachy feel right ??

yes i love that stuff today i started on some details , used 2 carbs from my partsbox then made a sort of top / scoop out od an old rooflight from a bigrig made a linkage and painted the whole lot chrome and whow the sun was shining today .. so i took some pics right away then added the rtadiator hoses and painted the drilled out part of the scoop black

whow thats awsome , that paint is delicious

nice ! and i love the wheels and tyres !! wish i had a set of those

cool !

now thats cool !!
