I want to build a camel trophy land rover (1/24 scale) any one got an idea when i can a set of decals to match?

great news i love old rally cars, i hope it will come out soon

nope, that's a willis MB which the WW2 jeep, cj2 and 3 were its predecessors but they are not identical

As the title says, were there any CJ3 kits available? either 1/25 or 1/24 if not can a cj2 be converted (dont know if a cj2 was available as a kit) looked on the 3d files sites too but didnt find one

Awesome truck, good work!

This is my latest build, the Revell 37 Ford Pickup converted to tow truck. the conversion is the bed (on a shortened bed floor), Crane, Frame with lights and rear wheel arches. all designed and 3d printed by yours truly. the only downside was some fitting issued of the hood that left a not so nice gap but "tis what it is", Hope you like it!

Done and posted in Under Glass

More progress today, almost finished the truck itself. there's an annoying gap between the hood and the body that i couldn't get rid off, so i'll live with that. next I'll turn my attention to finishing the crane itself

I would consider the idea, but i dont have any texaco declas

had some progress, engine done and in the frame, body panels painted and cleared, now waiting for them to dry so i can start assembly

some time ago someone had a thread on a ford pickup tow truck so that inspired me to also build one, i already had the kit in my stash so i started to look for pictures and reference on the interweb. than i started designing my own version loosely based on a period Weaver auto crane. here some initial mock up shots of the bed and crane i designed and printed. haven't decided on paint scheme yet, but i think it will be two tone orange blue or white red.

here i used a combination of technics: first the entire body was sprayed with dark brown next layer was light green, once dry i went over most of the body with 1000 wet sandpaper, gently exposing the dark color underneath next came a layer of "chipping" medium followed by a darker green layer, once the chipping is activated, it created the effect i was after of layers of older and newer paint and rusting and flaking paint. after that came applications of washes of various rusty shades, pigments and some brush strokes here and there.

This is my finished AMT Chevy 3100 pickup, i wanted to build a truck that is old and rusty on one hand but still "kind of" runs and work, so no flat tires or broken glass or missing parts, just a beaten old farm truck. used several different methods to get that look, painting over rust colored primer and sanding, chipping, washes and pigments. hard to see but i also tried to create an aged look for the seat.

Thanks. That's the Revell 30 ford coupe kit, and the engine is from the kit.

Just finished this one, built OOB, very nice kit and i'm pleased with the result

Here you go, hopes this is what you needed... the wheels and tires are 3d from files created by ScalespeedGarage

So this is the old Fujimi GT40, one of my all time favorites cars. it will be painted in the 68 le mans winner livery. nothing special about the kit, very basic and simple curb side model, which i finished in few hours. next i moved to the body, which is the main focus on this car, i sanded all the mold lines, glued on the hood and filled the LH fuel cap location. next i primed it with gray Mr.surfacer, sanded smooth and shot several layers of Zero paints Gulf blue...this is where i am currently, letting the paint dry before i move on to clear and decals.

Finished the Bronco, mostly oob except for the wheels and tires

got a bit more done

little more progress, still need to glue everything in place and add the wheels, glass,roof etc..

Frame is done sans wheels

i got distracted by another project for few weeks, but now back to the bronco...started the frame and suspension assembly, since most parts were already painted its moving along quite fast.

Added the headlights, im going to call this done.

i designed and printed the headlight mounts

made some more progress, unfortunately i goofed up the windows a bit with glue but I'm to lazy to redo them. wheels are now mounted as well as the radius rods, front grill (chopped), and exhausts. also gave the engine a black wash. basically what is left now is to find a way to mount headlights and some kind of tail lights.
