Post your truck mockups.
Modlbldr replied to Mike C.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
First yp is a 64 I started quite a while ago and got burned out on. Next 3 pics are of a Honda Odyssey that I got from my buddy that someone had destroyed and I pieced it back together. (Third pic in the group is what I was given to fix and the first two are where it is now.) Last two pics is my creation from parts box pieces. I have a few others, but this is enough for now.

84 GMC custom widebody
Modlbldr replied to Modlbldr's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Well, it's been quite a while since I've done anything with this project. I started back on it since I belong to a model Square Body site on FB and they are having a build-off. I know I won't finish it in the short timeline they have set but it gives me incentive to work on it. I have shot a quick coat of primer on the body to see that I am extremely far from done with bodywork. I also cut out the center of the bed and scratched a modified rear frame section to give me the clearance I need to install airbags and finish the suspension. Here is where I am at after working most of the day on it today. Later- -
Nice looking color and paintwork! I'll be watching this one. I loved building this kit years ago and have wanted to get another one. Later-

Just got my end of a trade with afx! My end was delayed in shipping due to visiting family. Great trader and hope my end shows up soon. Thanks for the patience. Later-

Got a haul today. Got the Corvette Grand Sport in a trade with afx and three sets of 3D printed wheels off of FB Marketplace. I also went to Wally World today and picked up 4 colors of craft paint and 8 bottles (four colors) of fingernail polish, microfiber towels for polishing and a four pack of superglue. Later-

I got this in the mail yesterday from a purchase off of FB Marketplace. Been looking for more of these Square bodies and Blazers. This one is complete, unstarted and in beautiful shape. Later-

Thanks for the info. I was not aware of that although I saw the Mercedes Benz on the valve cover last night. Later-

I dropped visiting family off at the airport in Nashville today and stopped at a thrift store on the way home. Found both of these for $15. The El Camino is sealed inside and someone had NOT even robbed the trail bike out of it yet! Later-

Walked over to my neighbors shop today to check out his 69 Camaro SS he's had since he was 18. I'm guessing he's 60+ now. He said, " I have something for you.", and handed me this along with a Testors paint pack and some glue. Later-

"Trailer Park Limo-inspired" Lincoln Continental "Ranchero"
Modlbldr replied to JTalmage's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Jesse, That is looking cool! I think Oldcarfan's comments hit the nail on the head as to the flow of the lines. You need to get back on this! It will be a great complement to your 60 Continental. Later- -
That looks nice! It has some good lines. Great color too. Later-

Tamiya Nismo R34 Gt-R Z-Tune (first car build)
Modlbldr replied to super_average_gunpla's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Your work is looking excellent! Nicely detailed. This is a great kit to build. I did one about 4 yrs ago. Sprayed it with some dark purple nail polish. Loved it! Later- -
Please do! And if your friend wants to trade it off, please let me know. The 53 is one of my favorites and you were headed in the right direction. I'm serious. If he wants to trade it, I'm in! Later-

Very nice details on Rusty and Rolly. Great backstories too. A theme always helps make the build. Great work! Later-

Well, I have been working on this one again over the last couple of days. I really want to get this thing done! It's been far too many years in the box. I dug it out on Friday and wet sanded the minimal bit of orange peel it had and threw a fi al coat on it. Waiting for it to dry really good and I'll wet sand and BMF it.before hitting it with clear. I did a detail of black on the gauge panel. I finally found a crab style distributor for the engine so tonight I began the plug wires. That's about all for now. Later-
