Yeah, i need to apply for a grant for something green, or something for the advance of mankind, hope they make what they are studying but usually nothing comes from it, just drives up the national debt, like the studying of LSD on monkeys, tells us what we usually know but nothing comes from it. but again hope they make it for our sake.

Not much of an update, did a little, but most of it has been in body work, getting rid of flaws in the body work, sink marks, making sure everything matches and working on the layout for the hydro cylinders, did make a weapons rack on each side of hood and came across some skull beads at a bed store over the weekend, they are a little on the large size but liked the color of them. Was worried that the weapons on the hood might look cluttered but had that idea for a long time now, just wanted to see what it would look like.

I was looking at them the other day at the gamer store, and they have some cool colors and may go that route. Im studying stone work and cemetery pics on the net to get the stone work to look realistic. When i figure out what colors to get ill go the citadel route, i keep a few bottle of their badab black on hand as its a great wash for engines and other type of models, may be making citadel paints a staple for other builds.

This is a really nice clean build , gives me inspiration to finish my two minis. Doing an awesome job.

Im beginning to rethink this as a lowrider especially the way i am finishing the bed with the rats and stone, the hydro cylinders would have to poke up thou it and i am now not wanting to mess with that over all look, i could make short cylinders but even then there is not much room they would have to come up thru the bed. Will have to give it more thought as to what it will be more of a rod or show rod or just a custom truck, not sure but i am second guessing myself on this one.

Thank you for your comment. Yeah I did actually mention it to the gamer store guy, i told him i was using them on a model truck and that I would show it to him when it was done but he just kinda blew it off so i wont be showing him anything when its done and I found another gamer store that if i use the little gamer stuff on a build ill go to that store. They dont have a great selection however they can order anything i need.

My first subscribed issue
Darren B replied to Darren B's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yeah know I was worried about that as well, It must just be the region of the country because albuquerque usually is horrible for getting anything on time and i thought since i just subscribed that it will be another month, thats what threw me off. Have you talked to your postmaster about this? Thats true too, didnt think about that one.
