RodneyBad Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Why wait? Did you run into problem with the last project and can't get buy it. Or Ideas flow faster than you can build? (my problem) Never hurts to start another. Will be a nice looking Truck.

ajulia Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 hello there friend! Sure looks fun to build w that chassis and suspension. Any personal touches added or will it be oob build-up! either way looks like one added to the wish-list Thanx for posting!! peace ajulia
Clay Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 would you just finish something already? If someone would actually let me work on them, maybe I would.
Raul_Perez Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) If someone would actually let me work on them, maybe I would. Come on now, you two...no fighting on the forum. Edited March 8, 2008 by Raul_Perez
Clay Posted March 9, 2008 Author Posted March 9, 2008 Here is the chassis almost complete, all it needs is the engine. Don't worry the engine gets bigger. The body is painted, I am gonna paint the grille the body color and then BMF it to keep some chrome.
Clay Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 btw.... good luck with that testors cr*p.... I really have no problem with Testors. Anyway here are some progress pics, almost done, just need to ut the grill on and the tail lights, bumper, rollbar lights, a few detail things and it will be done, I seem to have alot that are almost done. Maybe I should go through my boxes and see which ones are almost done.
Raul_Perez Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Clay, That a nice, clean looking build! I would hold off from finishing it until next week when you've had a chance to work with using the new acrylic paints as washes on the suspension and engine components. That'll really help set off the details of those parts. Keep up the good work, and yes, you're right, this was post number 1,000 for me. Now I know why it takes me so long to finish anything.
crispy Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Clay, could you offer your thoughts and a review of this kit? I know these trucks aren't everyone's bag, but I've really been looking at this kit hard at Michael's(50% coupon coming soon!) and was thinking about picking it up to add to the other Monster trucks I haven't built. Your's looks great. I was wondering about the wheels, are those the kit supplied ones? Whatever you did to them sure makes it stand out. Thanks! Chris
evilone Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 If someone would actually let me work on them, maybe I would. mommy and daddy is fighting again this never ends well for us the kids J/K homie looks good bro i want to see it done bro

Chris Well you could always ship me your monster truck kits the tires came with the kit, all i did was paint the wheels.
Ken Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Yeah Clayton, I also have never really had a problem with the testors stuff either. Well, except for their chrome/silver in the little bottle, I swear, that stuff never dries. The truck is looking good so far. Don't worry about the 'haters' giving ya ###### about not finishing things. If the missus gives you problems about your bench time, do what I do... Ask her if she would rather you spend the money on your girlfriend? When things calm down and she lets you back into the house, remember to get some flowers first....
