Also for the future reissue of the Pulldozer Blazer, arear roof section with glass (don't know how difficult that would be) and seats. A lot of guys would be all over that.

Oldmopars Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) OK, Hickey hood for the 70's Chevrolet/GMC Trucks. When printed, the rear edge may need a little sanding and filling, we shall see. Edited April 30, 2022 by Oldmopars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone already does a Dana 44 in 1/24 scale but something beefier like a Dana 60 or 80 would be great. https://www.shapeways.com/product/G95CPQBSZ/1-24-dana44highpinion-2sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I have heard of them. Are they in the U.S. ? If not the shipping will put a damper on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Suggestion: The Mercedes Benz 190 2.5 Evolution 2 engine. There are still plenty of the Fujimi curbside kits, it's a shame there isn't an engine. I'm also being selfish, have an older 190SL and sedan that I want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 That shape ways website has no search option. I was looking for 1/25 and 1/24 leaf springs and had to sift through endless stuff I wouldn't use in a million years. On one page there was a wheel chair and some kind of industrial machine that you would find in a factory. Who is buying this stuff. If they have any kind of leaf spring I'll never know. You gotta have a degree from MIT to figure that site out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shapeways is in the US, every order I've done with them is a $10 flat shipping fee for a box that would hold 3 AMT kits. If you follow the link above, then hit the three lines in the upper left then on the next page you'll get a magnifying glass in the upper right to search. If you have an account you can save creators stores that have things you like so you can find them easier when you're ready to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltie Olds Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) I have a number of requests that I’d like please. I’d like the roll bar, bed mounted spare tire, front & rear bumpers, wheels, and the ‘82 to ‘90 grille and a Blazer rear bumper for the Monogram S10 kit. I’d want the wheels to work with the standard 4x4 tires that Revell uses in there Chevy GMC and full size Ford kits.

Saltie Olds Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I’m wanting this style grille for the MPC Deserter kit as a ‘85 to ‘87 full size GM truck and these wheels for the Revell Monogram GM 4x4 trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltie Olds Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Now the last item is a complete long box conversion for the Revell GMC ‘77 plow truck and Big Game Country truck. I’m talking about a new frame, bed sides, and main bed piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, let me start with an easy one. Can you give me the outer diameter of this wheel, inner diameter of the tire? An the width of the wheel/tire in MM? If so I can knock those out in a very short time. The Grill and long bed for the Snow Plow/Deserter/ etc. truck is also a possibility, I have that kit. All the S-10 stuff will be harder for me as I do not have that kit and to get it right with no kit to test on would be difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmopars Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) So, using real world dimensions I came up with this. It is a 16in wagon wheel with a 33x12.50-16 Beastmaster Trail Tamer A/T mounted on it. Wheel and tire are separate parts as is the center cap, so it can be used on a 4 wheel drive, 2 with, 2 without. Now with front hub. Edited May 5, 2022 by Oldmopars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone has a spare kit grill or cab they want to send me I can get to work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the wheels I’m wanting, just make them the same size as the wheels that come in the Revell Plow Truck. I’m wanting a total of 5 wheels please.

Yes, I was planning on using the Mile Marker Part Time 4wd conversion on my old truck, that I had. That was a very good guess on the tire size I have.

Saltie Olds Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I have the Revell Germany KW W900 and instead of buying this complete sleeper, I’d like just the top part of it, for my project. Please & Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please & Thank You. As with other things, to make something useful I would need very, very accurate dimensions, or the bottom half and at least some close dimensions for the top. I am sure I can do it, or at least get very close, but without something to work off of, I could never make it correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
