    DWNW Surf-burban

    in All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures

    Posted

    This is what we call a "Deal's Wheels Never Was" . It's a Jimmy Flintstone Resin body with chrome parts from a Revell '66 Pickup kit . 
    After enlarging the rear wheel openings and some paint I mounted the body on an old Deal's Wheels chassis , added the chrome , and printed a few decals for it . The front wheels and caps are from the pickup truck kit while I made the larger rears myself . I also fabricated the roof rack and surfboards .

    The finishing touch was to modify some Silly Surfer vinyl figures to be the Surf-burban owners !
    I really had some fun with this one , hope you all like it !

    Sneak Peek - 1979 Ranchero GT

    in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial

    Posted

    I've been working on this body for about a year and it's close enough to start adding the window and bed rail trim . It still needs some work on the wheel openings and I haven't even started the interior , pickup bed , or tailgate and taillights yet .  It will be painted Dark Jade Green with Gold stripes , Rays Kits printed some gold decals for me last year but for this mockup I just printed some black stickers .   I was hoping to have it finished this year but now it's looking like next spring .

    I really enjoyed following along during the build process in your WIP. Every day I checked into the forum, the first thing I would do was look and see if you had updated your build thread. I was riveted! Now that you have posted photos of the finished product, I can describe it in one word, Outstanding!

    Thanks very much Tony !

    Very very nicely done Ray !  I've looked closely at ordering one and have to agree that it's probably over priced , but so is every thing today .

    I can understand you moving on , I've been thinking about it a lot myself lately . Good luck to you !

    Thank you fer yer comment...who's Donald?

    Donald was the boy friends name on the TV show "That Girl" . I prefer to address members by their real name and since you don't give yours (required by forum rules) I decided to improvise . :)

    Very cool Maverick, Bob. I think this is the first time I've seen the AMT boxing of the JoHan Maverick. Lovely work on this one. Great finishes and a cool look. 

    Thanks much Trevor !  This particular kit is pretty hard to find , I got lucky finding this one about 10 years ago .
