Beans Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Continuing with my cars of Supernatural theme, I am working on the GMC truck driven by John Winchester in the show (Season 1, episode 21). For the base I am using the Revell 76 sportside kit. Some of the best reference photos I found came from an add when the production company sold the truck.

Beans Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 First thing done was to look at the parts I would need to modify the kit. I ended up designing and 3D printing the tires and wheels, a GMC specific steering wheel, tailgate and grill and a center console for the interior. I also printed out the weapons box but I'll get to that later. I am pretty sure I still have the STL files for most of these so if you want them, let me know and I will make them available for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Ray Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Could the Revell GMC Plow kit be of any use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could definitely use those bed rails and maybe the grill if the one I printed doesn't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 Interior update. Bench seat wasn't going to work for me and what is the deal with the total lack of door panel detail? Back to the design and 3D printer and some new door panels were created. Also some cutting and fitting and the bench seat is no longer a bench seat. That is electrical tape holding everything together for now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 nice work, you should put your files on one of the trading sites, being for a supernatural vehicle it would probably be a good seller. I know i'd buy the door panels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av405 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I'm curious why you didn't use the MPC Sod Buster. It has the correct 1981+ body lines and split seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldriginal86 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It seems when the kit has buckets, we want a bench or vice versa. The door panels look nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can blame my impulsive nature and general laziness. I saw a kit at the shop, said, "I can make that work" boom. research complete. Didn't even stop to think there might be a better suited kit.😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Got the interior mostly done. Added some messed up seat covers and the printed steering wheel worked out. Weathered the whole thing. I should mention I am horrible and taking pictures. But they did allow me to notice some fixes I need to make.

I know i'd buy the door panels I have some misc. ones up here: https://cults3d.com/en/users/Joemama51/3d-models I haven't charged for anything yet. When I did the Supernatural Impala I didn't have a 3D printer yet and scratch built all the trunk stuff that I couldn't source somewhere. I am now in the process of creating STL files for the trunk box and then might move onto the actual trunk interior. Opening the trunk on that kit was not as easy as I thought it would be and it had to be build out a lot.

Beans Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Also painted up the weapons box I made that will fit in the bed of the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
