Model Builders Mafia

i think i tried but Im impatient so i butchered it. I Have done work on the bumper to add different style splitters. Also If you go on Etsy they have jewels that are the right size togo under the cab and sleeper. All my stuff is packed right now but I will try to find the link

Like I said I have built 15 of the lonestars in different configs. It's an amazing kit, but even the best have some issues. First download the Revell germany version of the instructions. Second when setting up the build mount the back mounting point to the chassis first then use the interior floor to line up the front mounts. There are some other tricks but that should help

I have built 15 lonestars since the release. it's a fantastic kit, and super easy to modify.

Very 70's yikes. I had a dual gate/ His and Hers shifter in my 68 GTO was a lot of fun.

Oh yeah I get it. I think it's a 1 and done for me.

If this is the same basic kit as the Mount n Goat, this is gone be a no purchase for me. I just built one it turned out ok but just not a very good kit

thank you

You are very welcome. There is a newspaper also, I believe talking about Godzilla on the tracks, but I went overboard on the weathering and it kind got lost

great work as always

THank you, Keep looking, there is alot to see.

THank You very much

So here's the story two maintenance workers are out on a rail bridge working to repair some broken Walls, one worker is down on one end loosening up the gravel and getting all the junk out from under the wall barricade so they can change it out while the maintenance supervisor is checking out the second wall barricade that they need to change when he looks down and notices some liquor bottles and a human skull ,so he's now calling in on the radio to the home base to send out the popo. I have to say this was a project that went a lot longer than I thought and a very different direction, but I had a lot of fun doing it. Originally this was just going to be a high rail maintenance truck but then as I was building it more and more ideas came to my mind first was of course adding the high rail Wheels which are from I'm going to say an HO scale train with the rest of the doodads scratch build to somewhat replicate what I can find online. Then I decided that I wanted to add the knuckle boom. So I started by extending the chassis and adding in the knuckle boom kit from Italeri Official Account and it just so happens that it comes with a chassis extension that I was able to use instead of having to scratch build one. I then decided to detail the interior work box by building a tool slide out and a welding cart slide out as well. This kit actually started as a Revell fire truck from back in the '90s. Hey don't forget to check out the cab interior there's lots of fun stuff in there from McDonald's to a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH ton of paperwork, just like any good maintenance vehicle.I then had this brilliant idea that a high rail truck needs to live on railroad tracks thankfully my buddy Scott T Adams Sr. Was able to find me a set of railroad tracks and Base from the AMT The general. And of course once I started that a diorama was something that needed to happen so I went in and added concrete barriers train track ballast I had a figure that looked like a maintenance supervisor pointing so I added him in once the walls were in I decided it needed to be super filthy or not super filthy but dirty added a whole lot of weathering products and then graffiti. And of course like anyone that's built to diorama before as you sit and look at it you think of more and more things to add so if you look closely near the knuckle boom you'll see that the maintenance worker is actually pointing at a skull and some liquor bottles laying on the side of the tracks and the other worker is down on the other side preparing to tear out one of the damaged walls. So we're done no more looks great, nope needed more so then I decided you know the wall looks good but what would be better is some chain link fence. You know, safety first.

Great work as always

Another run of old boring drag cars. Well, at least the ancient builders will be happy but they will bitch about the price and why it's not at ollies.. The Xtreme is an interesting choice, at least that might have a broader market since the mini trucks are starting to make a comeback at the car shows. , Happy Aoshima is pushing out modern cars for the rest of us.

Yes I turned off the website for his wife a week or 2 ago. As soon as Jamie is up healthy and ready to go again. It will be updated
