    That's great Harry! The doctors know that you can recover faster at home than in a hospital and as others have said, the atmosphere and food tend to be better at home. Continued prayers for your recovery, the number of people praying for you is having a positive effect on you!

    I like this a lot! Not sold on the white paint, maybe because I have seen more 1:1's in other colors, so I will have to look for more white ones. Thanks for sharing the pix, any other build issues we should be aware of besides the ride height?

    Very nice! Would love to see you replicate the new 75 C-10 he bought!

    Casey, Excellent work on the truck and it would be a shame if you didn't consider casting that cab after all of the work you did to make it correct! I think that plow is going to look small on the truck and if you want to swap it for one of the plows from the Revell 77 GMC, let me know, I happen to have an extra one I could swap you!

    Harry, So saddened to hear of your hospital stay but much relieved to hear that your condition is improving since Thursday. Prayers and well wishes are on the way to you and your family. Take care and get well, we look forward to your return home and continued improvement. Mike

    I sought out this kit based on initial positive reviews. I appreciate the honest feedback given by people who actually have built the kit as I hope to avoid the problems they encountered. All the other drama is unnecessary, I can go to Facebook and get drama, personal attacks and name calling; I come here to enjoy the hobby.

    The side trim can be built using Evergreen plastic strip. The curved pieces on the front fenders might be a tad tricky but can be done! Your best bet is to find a hobby shop that stocks the Evergreen and go through it to find the size that best suits your design.

    My troubles pale in comparison to Harry's and I continue to pray that God heals him soon.

    It would be nice if someone (are ya listening model companies?) were to offer this kit with better detail and multiple variations. I see a J10 pickup, a Cherokee Chief 2 door and a Grand Wagoneer as a possibility.

    Sure hope those plug wires are in the correct firing order, the judges might notice and take off points! Looks great, hard work but well worth it when you are done!

    I will be watching this! I have had one of these kits for the longest time, this could motivate me to get building on it.

    Dang it Chuck, you've been reading my mind again, that is what I was thinking of doing with one of my Broncos!

    That is a great looking start Scott, can't wait to see it at the show in January.

    Danny at Scenes Unlimited recently added some lug tires that might look better on this kit. I will be placing an order soon as I have two of these kits. The Suburbanite tires are fairly undersized but might work, will have to check. Considering the wheel covers are too small for the wheels in this kit, it might be best to order a set of wheels to go with the tires when you place an order with Scenes Unlimited to insure everything fits/works.

    Jimmy Flintstone was at the Atlanta NNL with his version of the mid 60's Econoline and the rear of it looked off compared to the picture here of the RMR resin body. That should build up nicely.

    Don't believe you can. Your best bet is to offer to trade someone for it once the kit is out, there will probably be a couple of people only interested in the El Camino kit.

    Smooth trade with Mr Obsessive (Bill Geary) trading off some tires and wheels each of us were in need of.

    The axles in the Mad Mudder were designed to stick out past the fenders so unless one builds some big flares for the wheelwells, swapping in the axles from the plow truck is probably your best option. If you use the engine from the Blazer, a different set of exhaust manifolds and an exhaust system will be in order, along with the aforementioned hardtop. Seeing how I am going to be raiding a plow truck for some parts, I might have to see if the above is possible and I just might have another WIP on my hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There was a Nova and a Camaro in that color on the tables at this weekend's NNL in Atlanta

    Happy Birthday Carl! May the plastic gods bless you with more styrene and time to work on them!

    Thanks Tom, I forgot a camera and snapped a few shots with the old phone but you are a much better photographer!

    Picked up the flyer in Atlanta yesterday! Looking forward to this show.

    The Revell Mad Mudder kit is closer to a full detail kit but it needs a few things to be built stock. No top on the Blazer and the hood has holes in it for the exhaust. I haven't check to see if the drivetrain and hood from the GMC Plow truck would work, but it's a start. I thought someone offered a resin hard top for the Blazer, can't remember who.
  24. mikemodeler
    That looks like a nice start to what should be a great model.

    Bought a bunch (10 -12) of the Revell 77 GMC pickups for the snow plows, probably would have been cheaper to learn how to resin cast the parts!
