BLOODBANE Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I have been wanting to do a version of my 1:1 Explorer and finally got around to doing it. I started with the Lindberg 1/20 scale Sport model (2 door) (mine is a 4 door) after combining 2 kits this is what I came up with..... I still need to make the light bar, tube bumper and snorkel (in the works now). Its off just a tad from the 1:1 but I think its really close (I used actual Dark Cranberry that I had mixed for touch ups on the 1:1 for the paint). I really enjoyed this kit as it went together really well, no real fitment issues, otherthan me extending everything. Thanks for looking, Mark.... Almost forgot to add a profile of the 1:1 for comparison.... Edited October 6, 2015 by BLOODBANE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouO Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Nice. The 1:1 looks like it is more fun to play with though! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruleworld Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 good job. i think everyone should do a model of their own car(s). If you want to do one in 1/24 scale, the Maisto diecast explorer is fairly close (it took a while to track one down). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOODBANE Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Thanks for the comments. I agree on having a model of your 1:1's. So far i have done one of my wifes Challenger, my old 69 Torino (High School car), the wifes JEEP. I need to get my styrene skills up to par and make this one next... Its an 84 and I have never seen anything close (maybe start with a late model Ranger and go from there). This truck is my favorite and I have had it in some scary places....

Havamodeler Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I know this is an old post... but id use another 1st gen explorer and cut it down to make ur 84 ranger. And use parts from an f150 for things like the bed liner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
