Mike C. Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 This started life as a so real diecast blazer. I broke the suspension trying to remove the wheels. I gave it the entire undercarriage of the GMC big game country truck. And gave it a new lease on life. 1
Mike C. Posted November 12, 2021 Author Posted November 12, 2021 I thought about repainting it hugger orange but it seemed like a lot of work. And I already painted the Boondocker Blazer in hugger orange. Had to change the top to Flat black. It just looks better.
happy grumpy Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Really nice work you've done on the blazer. Reminds me of chief Brody's ride in "JAWS " .
Zippi Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Good looking Blazer. The body color looks great. Nicely done.
Mike C. Posted November 12, 2021 Author Posted November 12, 2021 Chief Brody needed a set of Ground Hawgs on his ride.?
Mike C. Posted November 12, 2021 Author Posted November 12, 2021 i also stole the steering wheel and gauge decals from the GMC. A little paint detail in the interior. I can't take any credit for the body paint. Mine usually don't turn out that nice.
espo Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Great looking Blazer. I like how you combined thew Die Cast Body with all the other plastic kit parts. Looks cool with the top on and the Big Wheels and Tires.
Mike C. Posted November 12, 2021 Author Posted November 12, 2021 I'm usually doing 1/18 diecasts but they didn't seem to make that many a few years back. The original front suspention had steering but it was very delicate and I broke it trying to remove the wheels. It sat apart for a long time and when the GMC went on sale I got one for a lot of parts. I saw on ebay how even the old snap kits were going for crazy money so I felt like I had to save this one.
