Thanks everyone for the positive comments! Rodney, if it keeps its "bullnose" front clip, I'll probably tilt it since it's already one-piece. Shelby, these are readily available under the "Model King" licensed reissue, although these two were "vintage" MPC kits. Roger, if there is a demand for it, someone could cast it...anyone?

Here's what you get when you kitbash two MPC Commandos, a Dodge D50 for inner bed & frame, and assorted other bits from the parts box... I'd love to build something similar in 1:1 someday, too bad Jeep didn't do this back in the day! Don't like the "bullnose" front clip, but eventually will get the more Jeep looking 67-71 frontend Added 22 scale inches of additional wheelbase to really help the proportions...

I think we'd ALL give up cars for Pia

Even after Pia left?

Glad to help Steve... I sent 'ya a PM on ORM about the Scrambler Here's a little teaser on some upcoming wheels for the SoReal line of offroad tires from Ma's resin! I don't think he'll mind I mastered/modified around 20 different wheel centers to fit the SoReal beadlock "hoops", so these will be "modular" and hopefully available soon! Just a small sample of the different options...

WOW!!! Slick paint and X2 on the color!

SWEEEET!!!

Here's a great reference compiled by our fellow builder John (coopdad) with most of the aftermarket offroad tires accounted for: http://www.magazinepublisher.com/models/tires/tires.html

Looking good Bill! Can't wait either for the reissue

Exactly!!! Maybe there will be more interest in F1 when it returns to the USA next year via the brand-new purpose built circuit in Austin, Texas!!! Very clean build Peter!

Kewl Rodney! You can PM me a pic of the young lady to the right of your build

Nice!!!

Very cool Sam!

Too bad they didn't use a NEW Aston!

Larry!!! You're not new here, you're a long-time member that just hasn't posted in awhile! Glad you are active now, and no, we never get tired of looking at that awesome Blazer! Post the Scout WIP pics to show more of your incredible scratchbuilding

Thanks guys, I thought Norm did them. I looked over his stuff that was out at the NNL East show, but didn't see any. I should have asked Sorry for the hijack Rob, I say build it the way you want, it's still considered a flathead!

What I want to know is, are the ARDUN heads only available in the F-1 pickup kit, or other kits and the aftermarket?

Me likey Bruce!

'Nuf said right there Put them on your eBay saved search with email notification...they'll turn up!

Another masterpiece in the works John!

Great idea! Very nicely done!

OK, thanks. I never made the connection...so does that mean he could still be a good contractor? Oh never mind...

Thanks guys! I thought the "other models" were to stay in their own section?
