freightshaker Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Here's one of the snappers Ive built. These snap kits are great. Cheap and the possibilities are endless. Here's a kenworth I built, Here's another kenworth with a custom bunk all stretched out, Here's another peterbilt
Petetrucker07 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 Very nice job on these man. Again, your blue and gold KW was very inspirational to me. They all look great. Iam still amazed at the possiblities of these snappers. If your willing to put in the effort, these build up into really nice pieces.
purepmd Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 JT, imagination and execution perfectly paired. Really liking the KW / Ford combination, very original. Landon, your all black Pete istantly made me think of that show truck, Project 350, nice work. The black, white and red Pete stopped me in my tracks, great color choice.
freightshaker Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks guys, Clayton I'm glad that KW inspired you, that's one of my favorites. The real truck that inspired that build was like my summer home when I was a child. These snap kits are great I wish they came out with some others in 1/25. I don't get the build time like I used to since I started working at Chef Boyardee. But I have a California hauler in finishing up that I will post when I get a chance. Be well guys keep building and be well.
Petetrucker07 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 Hey, your truck is was got me to build the green KW, and only one so far, I built.
Korsair Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Wow Guys,Some excellent examples of work in these pics. I have just embarked on my first semi build since I was a teen 40 years ago. Hopefully I can do it proud.
Rigzndiesel Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) One more off the bench. This puts me closer to working on my Build Off rig. Edited April 18, 2016 by Rigzndiesel
kilrathy10 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 These are some amazing works, Boys....So glad Revell reissued these things....You can do so much with them, because the price is so low.....You're not scared you're going to screw them up.....So if you want to cut the sleeper off and you don't like the end result, go snag another one.....Awesome, Guys....
10thumbs Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Oh yeah, really an amazing show of talent, great builds guys.What's the deal on snap kits? Are they basically simplified kits? Do they have motors and suspension detailing?I'm really impressed.
Petetrucker07 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Less part count, simplified assembly. A lot of the parts are molded together. Some parts aren't molded at all. Just a beginner kit. But, with some imagination and extra parts, these really transform into something great.
10thumbs Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks Clayton. Man I can hardly tell the difference of the snap kits. I'll have to check these out.
landman Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Mine is of the small persuasion. I have a few rigs but all of them will wind up being something else, mostly vintage.
A20havoc Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Here is my 1/32 Snapper. Hope this works. Does anyone have tips posting from photobucket ? http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p719/A20havoc1/1-32 Peterbilt 352/IMG_0759-1_zps6milzijn.jpg Edited February 12, 2016 by A20havoc 1
Petetrucker07 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 Some great lookin builds guys. The Photobucket question.... you need to use the IMG link, not the URL. That's how I do it. Here is my 1/32 Snapper. Hope this works. Does anyone have tips posting from photobucket ? http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p719/A20havoc1/1-32 Peterbilt 352/IMG_0759-1_zps6milzijn.jpg
kilrathy10 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) I like that Kenny and that Pete you posted, there, Brian....Very nice work.....I really dig that Kenny, though....Big fan of the stretch.....Good work, James on that Pete double bunk....I always like those little snappers..... Edited February 14, 2016 by kilrathy10
Badluck 13 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 I remember this build when it was work in progress...fill in all the nasty snap tabs on the sleeper,using model railroad rivets on the stretch etc.Brian you inspired me to get back into this hobby with this build and to use this kit for my first subject and always been a fan of your work.....hope to see more from ya.....
gino Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 nice builds ! as been said before these kits have endless possibility's !
