The Danish sprue wrangler replied to Rider's topic in Welcome! Introduce Yourself
velcome Lloyd . that looks awesome i like the look of those wheels on that car and sweet paintjob . -
actually i wish i had a V8 or atleast a Turbo . but as its my first build i dont have a parts box yet . so for now its just running the little 60hp 4 cylinder . but im telling people its geared real low . maybe someday it will have a tune up
-
Fun is very important . if you aint enjoying it then dont do it (speaking from a hobby perspective ) "aye aye" welcome aboard captain ha ha . but yes it will look nice up there . now if i can just get the shelf Built

thank you GT Hey Gator yes they are Lego technic dont remember the specific kit just had them laying from when i was a kid . i just sanded the markings off . im sure you can still get them .

hey so this is my first build a Mpc jeep . i choose to not just build it box stock. and went for a more challenging build. where i had to actually think and do some fabrication that was not on paper. i ended up using .metal mesh . Lego tires . broom-hair . q-tips. F40 seats ,a pen ,wire , diffent pieces of plastic , a rubber Eraser , and a key chainstrap. all this together with the mpc kit ended with this lifted jeep i call the Mud Toy. for a first build i am happy with it had such fun building it . thank you for checking it out . and feel free to leave a comment or just have a nice day..

thank you Vince. yes the two colors go together really well
-
here we go the big finale got the body and chassis joined and all kinds of small bits and bops added . and i guess im done then . it kind of crept up on me . all of a sudden its just done. but it has been 5 days of fun for very little money . i enjoyed it i foresee alot of fun projects in my future . so that concludes the Mud toy .
-
yeah thanks and no problem. but the wheels does roll free of the fender so i dont know if its really a problem . glad you also like it i have definately thrown myself right into a trail by fire build here . but its comming together so that is great .
-

beautyful truck . -
hey Tony . they dont catch when its just sitting but if it had real suspension it would . i have thought about making the arch bigger but then my over fenders would be ruined . i have to think about that and see if i want to risk it ..
-
Ha Ha..... yes it should really have a V8 . but gotta work with what we ´got. i guess its geared really low for now . and power steering is a must
-
actually beginning to look pretty cool
-
got some more done . I am really having fun building this little jeep. but also finding out what works or not. and problem solving along the way axels and suspension on . as you can see here I needed to move the rear axle underneath the leafs to get the clearance I needed then I made some Hubs to finally connect the wheels to the axles wheels mounted up . looks Beast ... ha ha then I did some detailing on the interior added racing seats and tried to make belts for the driver. The passenger just gets a Hold ON !!! handle that's it for now . oh no I also made a new front window glass as I cut the center beam out .no pic tho.
-
thank you Mike . gotta say there is times where I think I should have stayed with a box stock . but then again I want to learn and the best way is just to try. and see what works. but I have had some problems especially today . but I got it straightend out to the best of my abilities . glad you like it .
-
thanks man I'm happy with it so far . not perfect but it could be alot worse for a first build .
-
ive tried to research the Otaki Corona kit . but I cant even find a single picture of one or any mentions anywhere . even if a kit is old and maybe rare you can usually find a picture or some info online .. what I do know is that Otaki closed down in the 80ies I'm guessing the corona is from the 70ies cause its a pre facelift 1970 model . but other companys bought otaki.s tools so this one might also be out there somewhere . so happy hunting hope you can find one sounds like good memories with your dads corona and sounds like it was a tough little bastard . they sure did know how to build em back in the day .
-
This will work good . i think .
-
very cool idea . fun build .
