thanks for the heads up, if i ever get back into this build i ll keep an eye out got burnt out on all of the seat painting and decaling.

another pic...

Went to Hobby Lobby today and found some small trees for the bed and some block looking beads from the jewerly section to use for the floarboards instead of what i had before.

toying with the idea of lake pipes, but not sure if that would fit the overall theme...

Thanks guys for the compliments should have another update soon.

Thanks Samuel and Derick, got a little bit more done to the bed, laying out the terrain under the temple.

I love this thread, however the thing is i want them all wish they would reissue a lot of them.............

almost cleaned up!

thanks for the comments guys, attempting my first custom cut roof to look like a pyramid....

My first attempt at sunken antennas...............

i agree with psychgrapic always picking great subject matter

experimenting with scale engraving

My brain is asleep lately, trying to get some ideas, i did come across this at hobby lobby, for the bed.

Hold on to your hats ladies and gentlemen, the artist is at it again. I am excited, I learn new techniques every time you make a model. Awesome work keep it up. At this rate will be done before christmas.

love builds like this cant wait for more, more, more,,,,,,,,,,,,, awesome job!

This thing is totally wicked, I just came across this and totally enjoyed going thru every little bit. Awesome scratchbuilding work on this one. Love it.

Not sure if you have the Car Modeler mag issue #29? I remember an article in there on painting a treasure map on the side of a pickup, took me a while to dig it out, pm sent!

Just went thru this whole thread, this thing is insane your a true craftsmen, now i need to see the completed work.

What they all have been saying and wow wow and wow. And to me scratch building was cutting open body panels and scratching the things you would see inside. This is on a whole new level.. well planet, this thing is gonna be a total 1 off work of art that would be the prize of any collector, you are beyond amazing and yeah ill shut up now as I can't top the praise.............

wow love it thanks for sharing

I was just wondering when the new one would show up and bam hit the mail box today and sure enough...

Howard did not mention if there was a deal, but i can see his point, he is worried about the honesty of the new owners is more what he is worried about, however they are not a used car dealer or selling anything with a long term contract, its kits, supplies, and a few other do dads, if the prices are fair and you know what you are buying it doesn't matter if they are telling the truth or not. It would not concern me one bit, buy what you want and leave. And also like everyone else is saying they probably did get a deal with the original owners so that they could not be sued down the road for any reason. The most important thing is you have a hobby shop. Im worried that someday we may not have one here in a city of 1 million people(Albuqueruque, NM), before the economy hit the toilet we had almost ten shops now we are down to just 1. We have 3 hobby lobbys and 1 michaels but the kits never change there and the supplies are nill, i always want a hobby shop as mine will order anything i want an not charge me shipping, plus they give me a 15% discount to our local model club, so if this new one can thrive, forget the story told and support the place so you will have a place to go and enjoy your hobby, like mine here in my city I spend every dollar I can in the hopes it helps their bottom line, I even buy all the model mags there instead of subscribing, I know they don't make much on that, but its something and I buy anything I need there, even if its cheaper on the net, with this economy its hard for any shop owner to make it these days, and now more than ever its time to support any and all local hobby shops!!!
