    No criticisms here! It looks great!!!

    Yeah, probably. The toolbox, ladder rack, and transfer tank will all be modular so I can move them or remove them whenever. But you make a good point. That was something I did not think about. Thank you!

    Started modifying the firewall, chassis, and core support to fit the cummins.

    This looks great! I’ve always wanted to build one.

    Thank you. Hope you can find one. It is a treat to build.

    Very nice. That red is so great.

    Thank you! I was fortunate enough to find one for relatively cheap at a toy show. Thank you sir!

    Thank you! That means a lot coming from you. I’m impressed with all your film car creations!

    Thanks @slusher!! @vamach1 Nice job, that looks pretty cool and you are right, it does make a good alternative. Here is the link to the completed build:

    Here is my completed Aoshima Mad Max V8 Interceptor. It was a quick build, about a week or so worth of work and was a lot of fun. This is my first completed build for the year and I feel like I am starting off on the right foot. Thanks to everyone who commented on the WIP. I left the exhaust exits pretty clean. I might go back and hit them with some dust. Anyways thanks for looking!

    Last update for the night. Hopefully the next posting is in the Under Glass section. The workbench is messy, completed a lot! Tomorrow I have to paint and install clear parts, install a couple interior pieces, wipers, mirror, and give the body a final airbrushing of light colors for dust and grime.

    Quick update! I picked up some hairspray and got a heavy coating on the body. After I let that dry for a day I then painted the body again. Right after the hairspray: After getting it painted I began weathering. I was a little worried about it, I’m not too happy about the weathering underneath. I should have not used the brown ochre, it’s too yellow in my opinion. I should have thinned it more before applying it. It’s coming around. The more I weather it the more realistic it works. Here is the passenger side of the car: I’ve only worked on the rocker pretty much. The other areas on the fender and rear quarter have just been chipped, no additional weathering has been applied.

    It’s addicting! I have to tell myself to not weather every build.

    Real cool looking!

    It all looks great. I especially like the roof.

    That is not terrible all things considered, still more than we want to pay in the end. I picked up a dually snap-tite last week for $20

    That would be a huge bummer. Those kits are getting so expensive.

    Well, kind of doing this backwards.. I decided to weather it the “right” way and do it the way I did on my ‘55 Cameo. I applied some brown primer, ochre brown, and old rust from MIG and AK, respectively. Then I got my handy makeup tore-up sponge to apply random splotches of paint to the airbrushed areas. I know it looks really bad right now but that’s alright. After this dries (and I get some hairspray) I will apply some hairspray to the body to lock in that coat of paint. I will also smooth out the finish, as the ochre is a little thick and affects the smooth finish. I’ll then re-paint the body in Tamiya semi-gloss black. Then I can begin chipping away the paint and revealing the weathering underneath. I should have done this step in the first place, but I tried to do it differently. Lesson learned.

    Thank you!

    Looks great, could get lost in that black paint job!

    Belongs in a nice display case, that is one to be proud of!
