BIGTRUCK

Didnt want to work on any existing projects , so I grabbed a real easy one, and it was really a fun build , out of the box , no gimmicks , just 1 tiny round piece of bare metal foil...decal it and polish it later, paint was duplicolor driftwood with a medium garnet red met. mist , also duplicolor... only engine mod was I drilled out the headers....no putty on the body seams , just used liquid glue , squeezed tight, let dry and sand....

I think its a super idea John , but Izzy might come up we might have to go along and do it also........or some other revenge tactic....I think he can pull it off nicely...I'd like to see it.

HHMMMMM --wouldnt it be cool Izzy to build the after the race version..this would mean a little slop on your great paint jobs tho..but it would look so good..

Great work Sid on a kit you dont really see ....been awhile since I've seen any Roth stuff built......hhmmmm....

Very neat idea , looks sharp in a photo , also can be used for other types of 'dios' cool.

Very cool pics Izzy , race , pits , head phones--trip to a out-of-town club meeting..----priceless

Hey Tom , now thats great lookin' , open top and board rack look super

New projects are like jello , theres always room ...I'm in.

small dab of lacquer finish

Thats awesome Tim , the bed , the cab , color all looks super . Are you sure thats a kit? Great photos.....

Irvin , that Merc is smokin' , black and the chrome look good..Chad back in the day they used "dummy spots"

37 is a pretty cheap price , they run a lot higher, got mine for 48 on a close out at my local hobby shop , dont know of any other decals except F-1 tech Red Bull series decals for R/C cars

all lettered with acrylic paints a few little details and this rod is complete ....I hope

Nice bike ,,I like all the 'extra' details...

Very cool build...Hiab boom , are you using the 'Truck conversion kit' from Italeri? The boom in that is a mirror image of a Hiab ..

Doug the kit box is HUGE I got the Red Bull Yamaha hauler it was molded in blue and the die-cast bike is very well done.The instruction sheet is almost 2 feet tall...decal sheet is a monster Its a very cool kit...multi-piece cab and high parts count...better have some display room...I think you'll enjoy that kit...

Thanks guys , springer is from Biglots 1/12 die-cast....$5 bucks..fork pins in ..no fuss trying to paint around the forks with frame glued together, 2 piece fork 3 screws..........all parts interchange....1/2 metal....1/2 plastic

Had a lot of fun building something bigger than the normal 1/25th....this is pretty close to the final look...lay down some transparent blue over silver and gold and buff out the bare metal on the springer...the bars will be formed from brass tube pretty close to the shape thats on it now....

Those bars do look better cut short,,,

Changed out the fork assy, good thing theres alot of time till Feb.... tank is fitted and done , rear fender bobbed, front reshaped , little more work on the seat , figure out some better handle bars

Is this a online build for those of us that wont make it out west [i'm old and slo'] if so I'll crack one open....

I can still recognize that its a bench....and the bench itself looks familiar ..LOL

Engine and chassis done...engine painted testors silver then black washed with detailer , under side done in silver and metalizer silvers With the body on it sure fills that bay A trip to the hobby shop to pick up the interior color in the A.M.

Removed the chrome off the wheels and painted silver , found a parts box wing if I lower it some it might work The decal sheet is small , no bull logos for wheel caps , just 2 styles of plates

Thats why I like MCM , you guys are tough...we dont need no stinkin' beds attitude..but may I suggest a back pocket size bottle white port and gloves without fingers ,,,its all the rage
