Nicely done! I would like to have one of those kits. You should be proud.
-
Got one side of the dually bed installed. I am going to have a lot of putty and sanding to do. I also used the Moebius semi wheel set for this, as the tires are wider and better looking than the black ones.
-
Received my products today, Bill! Thank you so much. They are great. Can’t wait to build my GMC!
-
Started working on the dually bed. I plan on adding some tool boxes to it.
-
Had to clean off my work station, it was getting a little messy.
Before:
After:
I also started on a DMI rear bumper. I like these and tend to build more work trucks. I might cast these for personal use.
I think I will be scratch building this welder for the bed.

Looks really good so far!

Gundams are fun. I don’t have exactly those but I do have quite a bit of Robotech and Macross kits. You will enjoy it!
-
Impressive skills! I will take one in 1:1 please!

I'm good on 71 Mustangs unless there's new parts in this one but I'll take a couple Rabbits. I will stroke him and pet him and call him George.
Ha! Nice one.

This is awesome! Keep it going!

Cool, a Chevy Square Body! I wouldn't worry about getting a nice paint job, that might put it back into the box. Here is your chance to do a patina look!
I love the box art. I have some better shots of a hike in Monument Valley, if you want a background picture.
Very nice view! I will probably weather this one up as well.
Small update for the evening. I stretched the frame, got it pretty sturdy, and sitting somewhat level. I also started working on a DMI bumper. I will be using some Freightliner fenders on the truck to make the dually flares. I think I’ll add a compressor, welder, and a tool box to the truck. Think I will give it a headache rack and a single stack.

Here is my set up. Some day I will have a dedicated room.

I also received my order.

Whoa! What a turn this ride took. Another forum member gave me the idea to build a welding rig for my garage diorama. @zaina thanks for the idea. I will be converting my 350 to look like a 6.2 diesel - or attempt at least! I stretched the frame and am using the Revell wrecker bed as a base. The truck is of course the MPC still. The wheels are from a Jada die cast.

Very nice! I am also working on a garage. If you are in need of more clutter I recommend the Phoenix Toys “Hobby Gear” series. They have several garage sets. They are a little toy like but with your skills you can weather them up and make them look better. That is what I plan on doing.

I would really like to do a diorama of the final vanishing point scene, but with a twist. I would have 3 cars in the diorama. One would be the Challenger, of course. The second would be a mix of the challenger and Camaro, like it was morphing into the Camaro at the last moment, to trick the film viewers eye. To achieve this I would do some hacking up and just combine the two models. Thirdly, I would have the Camaro all smashed up upon impact. I’d have these 3 cars all in a line, progressing towards the Bulldozers.

@Tom Geiger very nice, all three. I like the s'cool bus the most!
-
Beautiful job! I watched your progress in the WIP thread and really enjoyed the progress you have some great skills. Thanks for sharing!

Be aware that Chevy trucks in this era had six lug wheels. I put five lug wheels on my first 55 and got yelled at!
Oh! Tom thank you for the heads up! I will have to fix that! Thank you.

Truck is looking great! I love this era.
Thank you for the kind words. Not sure what was up with my phone, I always take the photos sideways. Will pay attention next time! ?

Thank you kindly!
I got the base started. I think it looks pretty good. Want to add a few more cracks and gouges though.
-
I just placed an order. Very excited!
-
Started some weathering. Will have to hit some spots again, since my brush was too harsh and gouged the paint underneath.
-
Snow tire mock up. Looks very much how I imagined it.
