Pickup Toppers/Caps
BigBlockLyle replied to Johnnycrash's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I would be interestead in one. I would also like to submit a topper for you to design a scale replica of for me. I'll post the pic later, as I can't find it right at the moment. -
359 Front Fenders.
BigBlockLyle replied to BigBlockLyle's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I think those will work. Send me a PM with your address and I'll reply sending you mine. -

BigBlockLyle replied to BigBlockLyle's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Can I see a few pics of them first, just so I can see if they'll fit. -
359 Front Fenders.
BigBlockLyle replied to BigBlockLyle's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I don't really think those will fit this style of truck. I'm building in a "Trick My Truck" style. -
Hey there, I have a Revell 359 and I screwed up the front fenders trying mold them into the hood and now I need new ones. I have some resin wide steer tires and wheels I can trade.

Kustom Kemps In Miniature
BigBlockLyle replied to Mr. Metallic's topic in Model Club News and Announcements
Craig, I know I'll be there. I'm gonna try and bring two more people that may want to join. BTW, we can't let Gerry forget. -
Dirk, I like this idea. I think I may be able to help on the paint issue. Not all of the old Army jeeps were flat in color, some of them had just a hint of a shine to them. I think you could get away with using a gloss green that is the right shade, and spray a semigloss clearcoat over top of it. I think it should work out for you.

Peterbilt 386
BigBlockLyle replied to mackinac359's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Cool. Great job Tim. I got the hood for my 359 last Tuesday. -
Very cool, I love all these early Bronco's up to 1979. Nice job. Looking forward to more of your builds.
-
Wow, this is a cool one man. It kinda reminds me of the Mud Bog 'Vette from Monster Garage that was sold on Barret-Jackson this week.

Wip: '94 F-150 Xlt 4x4(update 1/5/08- Two Toned!)
BigBlockLyle replied to Casey429's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Looking good man. Yeah, these are the last "true" Fords just for those reasons. As for your pinstripe dilemma, try taking two strips of masking tape and setting them however far apart you want the stripe to be, where you want it to be, and then just mask off the rest of the truck and spray away with silver. -
WOW, I like this car. I love the color, wheels, and engine. I wish I could afford one of these kits. Now, where can I get a set of those valve covers? I want a set of those for my Hemi Duster.

Is this a replica of the Golden Duece from TLC's "Hard Shine" hosted by Jimmy Shine?

Okay guys, the HEMI powered rat rod is an idea that I got when I thought about the later years in the rat rod popularity(I guess that's the word for it). I thought that hey, some kid might have a HEMI in the garage from one of his dad's wrecked high school rides. Or if you want to, you could say it's a custom flathead.
-
Hey guys, I haven't posted any of my art on here yet, so thought I might as well show you one of my drawings. I drew this during class when we were watching a boring movie. It's an around 1934 Ford pickup with a HEMI. It has been chopped, channeled, and the frame has been Z'ed. I can't figure out what wheels to put on or what injector hat to use, so ideas are welcome. This is my first rat rod, so I plan on building it once I get everything needed to do it. Well, here it is, comments are welcome/appreciated.
-
WOW, I'm loving this. Can I suggest Candy Lime Green as a color? I like these older wagons, reminds me of Chop, Cut, Rebuild on the Speed channel. BTW, if you have any of those subs lying around, I could use 2 of 'em for my 1976 Eckler Corvette.

Revell Pete 359
BigBlockLyle replied to kustombuilder1's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I like this truck. I have this kit in progress as a custom rig. BTW, United Trucking is an actual company. Here's their site: http://www.unitedtrucking.com/ -
Ford Crop Sprayer
BigBlockLyle replied to Brent's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Brent, everytime I see this sprayer, I am just in awe. It looks so much like the ones that run around here in Illinois in the spring and summer. Now I just need to find an International semi and a big bag of assorted sheets and sizes of styrene to build a lime and pot-ash spreader from where my dad works. Great job Brent. BTW, now you just need a diorama for it. LOL -
Now that is cool. Where can I order one of those? I like the idea for that. Great job!!!

Well, I think I'll post one of my favorite builds that I have done as of yet. It is the Monogram 1957 Chevy Bel Air 1/12 from 1995. I bought it at an auction for $8 still in the box. I built it as a street machine in a classic way. I have added screens to the velocity stacks, Purple Hornies to the exhaust, blue dots to the tailights, and custom plates. It is painted Testors Transparent Candy Apple Red over a white base. This is my first 1/12 and I think I did a fair job on it for my first one. Well, what does everyone think of it?
-
Looking cool man. I like the stance and the weathering. I got a couple questions though: 1) Where did you get the trash box for it? 2) What kit are those wheels from?

BigBlockLyle replied to Casey429's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Looking cool man. I am doing a simmilar style build of the last truck we had. I like this build so far. BTW, how did you do the photoreduced radio and gauges? Oh just out of curiosity, does your truck have the cargo light option? -
1979 Lil' Red Express Conversion
BigBlockLyle replied to BigBlockLyle's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I have already spliced the front of the frame from a LRE kit onto the MPC kit. All I need are the hood, grille and cowl panel to convert it to a 1979 from an erlier 70's Dodge. I need to have this truck done by Christmas Eve. -
1979 Lil' Red Express Conversion
BigBlockLyle posted a topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Hey there guys, I have a MPC Dodge 4x4 kit and I am trying to build it as my dad's old 1979 2wd D-100 as a gift. Well, I remember that somebody was making this conversion, but they went under awhile ago. So, I am wondering, does anybody have the conversion pieces and if they would be willing to sell or trade them to me? I have tried ebay with no luck on finding it, I hope somebody on here can help me out.
