Rocking Rodney Rat

Agreed.... -RRR

I don't SAVE old gloo bombs, I MAKE NEW gloo bombs!!! Seriously, though, this is an interesting thread. -RRR

Looks like some crapping birds were flying over in formation!!! -RRR

very well done.... -RRR

Very nicely done box stock build!!! -RRR

Here's a quick build I slammed together over a couple of weekends. The frame is a vintage Revell Parts Pack "Dragmaster" (the same as the Mooneyes frame without the extra rollbar hoop). The engine is out of the recently reissued MPC Cosmic Charger kit (yes, it includes the front mounted Potvin style blower). Dig those groovy "Imperial" valve covers!!! Power-to-weight ratio is...???? The rest of the parts are scrounged up from here and there. "Little Hoss II" decals from Slixx. I'm not sure whatever happened to "Little Hoss I".... -RRR

Well done, great kits for parts those Tony Nancy kits!!! -RRR

Reet, Daddy-O!! -RRR

The base color is yellow. -RRR

Righteous!!! -RRR

I built this about 20 year ago or so. The cab is the Lindbergh '34 kit with a scale 3" chop, the 'bed' is cut down from a late '50s era Ford (I forget which kit now). Motorvation is supplied by a Revell Part Pack Caddy mill. Wheels and tires from the Ala Kart kit. Paint is buffed out Testors Titanium Metallizer.... -RRR

Makin' me thirsty for some reason... -RRR

I would look at using some rear fenders from a '50s era stepside pickup. The corners of the fenders would have a similar curve as you need, drag out the scale sawzall and start cutting!!! -RRR

Very clean dirty build.... -RRR

Obviously you don't live in FL. Seeing that color combo always makes me nervous.... -RRR

Sweet. I really like the subtle patina. Nice awards, too!! -RRR

This was one of my first attempts at weathering. The body is a resin item from Altered States Models. Frame is scratch built. The rest of the parts scrounged up from here and there.... -RRR

Yeah, I'm not sure why the pix show up that way... here, try these.... -RRR

The weathering has been well done. Good job, now for that diorama to put it in!!! -RRR

Build 'em, the only things I collect are vintage Revell parts packs: http://public.fotki.com/jferren/revell-parts-packs/ -RRR

Thanks, guys...here's some shots of the frame before the body was dropped on... -RRR

The body started life as the Orange Crate sedan, hacked into a pickup. Ardun powered flattie is from the Revell '50 Ford pickup...decals from our friends at Slixx...build up pix here: http://public.fotki.com/jferren/32-pickup/

WATCH YA FINGERS!!!! -RRR

Beautiful, nice and clean, outstanding interior!!! -RRR

Well executed build, very kleen... -RRR
