signguy2108 Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Kind of an off the wall project. 1/25 scale(the Volvo is for comparison) Made out of .040 styrene, (W/M "moving sale signs!), wheels are from a Just Trucks diecast, make build stock wheels for it. It will be a slammer with an interior and sliding side doors. (I hope!)
Ramfins59 Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 That's a cool idea for a project. You've got a nice start on it.
mikemodeler Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Great start, you should chop it a couple of scale inches if you are going to slam it!
Agent G Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Larry, did you have a set of plans for that body? That is looking spectacular! I've been wanting to replicate a van like that for years now. Not the best photo, but this was my bomb truck. G Edited April 7, 2016 by Agent G
iamsuperdan Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 I like this one. You guys and your scratching building skills...most impressive.
gatorincebu Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Now that is a cool project. Which you have gotten a very good start on ! Be Well Gator

Anyone wanting to build one of these, ck out morgonolson.com, click on literature, then click on either of the first 3 pics. Line drawings and measuements are at the bottom of the page. Ill try to have more on this one next wk! Have fun!!!
Foxer Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 If you want a head start, Jeff Ballard does the Grumman Kurbmaster and this is a very nice kit. There's good info and photos on that page. Her'e a link to it at Motor City Resins. and ... nice work on the body, Larry!
Canso65 Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Great idea for a model build Larry. I like what you have done do far.Rob

And his look alot better than mine!!!!
gatorincebu Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Larry, There is nothing wrong with the body that you built. It looks very good. Be Well Gator

Be Well Gator I second the motion .. your body looks great and I'm still sitting here watching! My post of the Kurbmaster was only aimed at Agent G looking for a resin body.

My post of the Kurbmaster was only aimed at Agent G looking for a resin body.no harm done, guys!! what I meant was that is if I wanted to build a "kit" , the grumman looks to be well done. More on mine sometime this week.
