Model Builders Mafia

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

More exciting than another Boring mustang or lame Mopar junk round 2 keeps vomiting up

very impressive

THis is not a diecast this is a reissue which includes a 64 scale diecast. THis is something both revell and amt did years ago.

I wonder if this one will come with the Leave a car meet Diorama running over 10 pepole. or the repo version. HAHA

Thanks everyone. It's all about the Small Details. The wrapped pallet was a last minute thought. The shrink wrap didn't come out like I wanted but close enough

I worked for a company that had them as Promo cars, I drove it once in a while, annoyingly under powered, But did enjoy the few dollars it took to fill the tanks. Was also fun to get it up on 2 wheels Joey chitwood style.

The Chrome ones where done years ago on a Alps Printer

Thank You

Thank you

Quick little fun build, I Screwed up a bit on the paint but whatever. This is a Smart for Two Revell kit. I added a set of Pegusas Gold D's. There is a Speaker box in the back but sadly you cannot see it. The Paint is Tropical Glitz Miami Night Life With a ridiculous amount of metal flake. Typical over the Top Miami.

This was a fun project That started out as the old AMT International Paystar 5000. I shortened the chassis and moved the rear axle forward to match up with the 3D printed Service body. The Crane, generator, and welder were all part of the print. The Paint was a custom test color from my buddy Manny at Tropical Glitz.The Scroll decals were a royal pain but I like the look. The figure is from Iceman Collections

Snore... Another lame boring mustang. Just like the real thing
