    I agree, cabovers are always good to see!

    Those welders look pretty good! The whole rig looks great. I was building one as well, kind of stalled out. You were the original inspiration for this build!

    Very mean looking Porsche. Well done.

    Turned out great. Looks like a truck that could do it all.

    Thanks for all the comments and feedback. I had a lot of help on this build from the great members here.

    I just received a modest order from Iceman Collections (www.icemancollections.com) and I am very impressed by these resin 3D printed items. The quality is great, lines are crisp, details are sharp. The products look just as nice as the images on the website. I was super excited when I placed my order! My excitement increased when I held the items in my hand. I will try to get some quality photos later. They are very nice. The shipping was very fast as well. I ordered last Friday (1/6) and received them today (1/13). I will definitely be ordering from them again!!

    I was on the fence about getting one but I think I will. It’s a unique subject. I hope it sells well.

    Woo! Very excited for this one!

    Tonight I worked on the ladder rack and toolbox. I also found an ‘88/89 grille with the quad beam lights. I’ll be using that instead of the 90-93 grille. Found a back rack too, not sure if I’ll use it though. Getting pretty cramped in the bed. I’m really liking this build and having a lot of fun.

    Very fine looking model.
  11. Rusty92
    Should be fun! I really need to pick up this kit.

    Very nice work so far! I’ve seen your other builds so I’ll be following along on this one.

    Thanks for linking your thread! Your truck came out great! I hope mine turns out half as nice. Thank you! No real progress since the last update. I need to get the parts in primer. Hopefully on Friday.

    Ray makes some great decals. This is my first time ordering from him, i also picked up some F series decals. Little bit of progress tonight, didn’t take many photos though. I finished assembling the side tool box and applied some putty to it. Began work on the ladder rack as well, mostly measuring and cutting all the basic components. Also ended up removing the side trim, the styrene I had wasn’t going to work. Didn’t feel like making my own either!! Can’t wait to get some primer on this body.

    All my supplies arrived today.

    @espothat is a good idea, the 1 in 1500 is a bit narrower than the 3, so i might need to just make a decal shaped plate to put under the decal so it is raised a bit. I think I have some styrene that is similar to the body trim that I might be able to add to the bed.. you might be on to something. I'd like to keep the trim since it is a nice feature on these trucks.

    @iamsuperdan & @espo, yep I will be addressing the side trim. I'm not sure if I want to try to remove the 1500 emblem and add trim to the bed or just eliminate it entirely. Still trying to decide. Either way, it will be addressed. The decals I ordered from Ray's Decals have 3500 decals, so I will be using those for sure. I completed a bit more work on the toolbox above. It just needs the top added and puttied/sanded.

    Nice job, I think this really captures that G Wagen charm.
  19. Rusty92
    Came out great! I just read your build thread and am impressed with the work.

    Started work on a passenger side toolbox. I think it will turn out good. I will only be building one.
  21. Rusty92
    Looks great!
  22. Rusty92
    Should be sweet! I've never seen one of these built before.

    Made a little bit of progress today. Puttied, sanded, puttied, sanded, did a little bit of scratch building as well. I needed to tackle the hood gap first, it was a little large. Here is the before: Still have some work to go, especially up near the cowl, but some putty will take care of that. Will need to take some more off the rear of the hood so the front sits flush with the fenders. Then I figured I would start on some bed accessories. So i scratch built a fuel transfer tank. I think the handle turned out good, it wasn't too hard to make but I was skeptical that it would turn out decent. I still need to add a fill hole in the tank. Here it sits in the truck: Next I'll have to make a job box or a regular tool box. Probably make a ladder rack as well, I think that would be nice. Thanks for looking!

    Thank you! I hope it turns out as good as I picture it in my head. Yes they are my favorite as well. I love my 1:1.
  25. Rusty92
    This has my vote as well. They’re too expensive for me to buy them up whenever I see one. I easily have 10 of these kits but always want more. They’re my favorite body style truck that GM produced.
