Thanks everyone! I had a lot of fun with this one.

Thanks everyone! I just used my airbrush and some tamiya xf-52 flat earth. I thought about adding the wiper trails but the "mud" didn't really get up that high so I didn't do that.

and "after the race"

I picked up this kit when I was on vacation and thought it would be something different to build. The first photos are clean and the second set is after I weathered it.

Thanks guys. For the color I'm thinking a bright red.

Thanks Rodney. Nick, nope it all fits together perfect. Only thing I modified to fit was the interior tub.

Since I have 3 of these 454 ss kits I decided to build one as a mild street truck. Then I decided to take the interior and chrome bumpers/grille from the snap '96 dually and make this one a '96 regular cab short box. I cut the interior tub from the dually and spliced in the back wall from the '90 interior to make it fit the reg cab. Then I flipped the front spindles to lower the front end and I modified the mounting points with brass tubing to fit the Pegasus wheels. I'm going to leave all stock other then the wheels and the lowered suspension. I just want a nice clean street truck.

That looks great. Very nice.

Thanks guys. If you look closely at the pics I added some light dust and sand on the lower half and back of the jeep and also the wheels and tires. The pics don't show it too well but in person it's just enough because I didn't want the weathering over done. I think the white back ground washed out alot of the weathering IMO.

Thanks guys, and yep It only took 4 days I even surprised myself!

Here's my latest build. Just a quick 4 day build of revell's new jeep kit. I modified the roll cage a bit and swapped the wheels. It pretty much fell together minus a few assemblies being pretty tight. Also added a little weathering because you can't have a clean jeep.

Thanks everyone. Well I finally digged this back out and put on some wheels that look closer to my ridler 695's. They are Pegasus chrome T's. I still have to paint the spokes to match the 1:1

Bought this stuff at a small model shows at one of canada's larger 1:1 shows.

Well I finally finished this one. Bought the kit second and since it was the pro-modeler issue it had all the extra performance parts So I incorporated some of them into the build. I did a gloss/matte black contrast throughout the car, I think it gives it a pretty sinister look. Over all it was a good build but the chassis did have a slight warp in it and the hood doesn't sit flush. But other then that I'm pleased with the build.

Thanks guys. Those are pe, they came in the kit. I bent up some exhaust and polished it. Looks a lot better then the kit part.

A little bit more done on this one. Wheels and tires and also added the hood pins.

Thanks guys. This is a great kit to build and it's going together great.

Thanks! I wanted to break up all the black and since I decided to run with a flat tail stripe I decided to do the tops of the fenders and nose in flat kinda like the aar cuda. I wanted to keep the graphics theme in the mopar family and I never seen it done on a daytona before.

Thanks guys! I got the motor done and the flat black sprayed. I'm really diggin this build now!

Thanks guys. I got some work on the motor done and the body painted. I'm going to do the wing and tail stripe in satin black like originally planned but i'm also going to do the hood and the tops of the nose/fenders in satin too kinda like the aar cuda. I think it will be a nice subtle two tone while keeping it all in the mopar family. The body has quite a bit of orange peel but it should buff out nice.

here's a whole s10 thread: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38668&hl= and here's a few of mine. Monogram 93 s10 My 1:1, 99 sonoma 4.3 auto. Smokey caramel metallic paint, Bravada front bumper, ss street scene mirrors, 18in ridler 695's, De-badged and de-striped, cut bump stops, leather/power seat swap. Hoping to get the full zq8 suspension package on it here soon(front coils, leaf springs, shocks, and front/rear sway bars) and also tint the windows, clear headlights, smoked tails and a magnaflow exhaust. A pic from today: and the replica wip; Plus I have alot more 1st gens to build but lately I've been focusing on the 1:1.

Well I picked up this pro-modeler Daytona not too long ago and I decided to build it as a mild custom. Right now I'm just doing some basic clean up and prep before paint. Plans are a gloss black body with a semigloss wing and tail stripe. I am unsure on the interior color as of yet. Maybe red or black but we shall see as the project progresses. I am using a lot of the optional racing parts in the pro-modeler issue but it will still be a street car when finished. On this build I have used plastikote primer for the first time and it is some very good stuff. I will defiantly use a lot more on future projects.

Just picked these up from a local collector that is down sizing.

Well I did some work on this thing, I'll have some more detailed pics up soon.

Hey thanks everyone. This one is done and I'll post some finished pics soon.
