I've seen his perfect models at a GSL. He must not be human. LOL Just the window tint alone is impressive.

Is that because of sand getting thrown around? What about making a vacuum-formed shroud?

2005 Scion XB Pickup Conversion
89AKurt replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Cute concept, the design lends itself to such a conversion. Feel your pain on the window trim, I've gone to the trouble of masking and airbrushing that part on some builds. I could see getting another kit, and splicing in for a longer bed. -
I don't do NASCAR, but can appreciate a really well done model, and that looks awesome! What decal solvent do you like using?

Thanks for the additional information everyone! This is typical for me, I get a wild hair to get something, then a short time later a screaming deal. Found the 1996 edition at the Phoenix model swap, minus instructions and decals, for $12. Body of '64 vintage is dark red plastic, '96 re-pop is lighter red. The '96 has the slot car mounting points removed, so there are no sink marks, but trademark date is still '64. '96 does not have the slot wire wheel inserts, and no skull. Tires are different: '64 are Goodyear and look accurate, '96 are Goodyear but are wider (2944-2300 200/300). '96 box is bigger. I also got a Revell 360 Modena Spider. I've not been a fan of that design, so figured it's okay to destroy that to kit-bash with the old timer, to make a resto-rod. It will take lots of Dremel grinding. Big difference in width, wheelbase is about 2mm difference. I can see blending the lower rear valance of the 360 into the 275, using two 360 taillights. Think the wheels will look good. Interior will be the most challenging, might go with the old school look, with LHD. If anyone wants to do this, it won't hurt my feelings.

Love the subjects, and of course well done.

Very cool, with a turbo Subaru engine! Pirelli tires, haven't seen that tread pattern on a model before, for some reason always liked those tires, then their P7 took over.

SWEET! Nice shade of blue, like the red accents. If I may suggest, the reflectors can be done by cutting out tiny rectangles from Farmers Insurance bumper stickers, and they actually reflect (can barely see one in the picture of my kit bashed Slantnose). That kit has the engine?
