'72 Suburban

[avidinha]

I built this from a resin kit. The resin kit was based on the truck kit and had a lot wrong with it. I corrected what I could and had to learn to live with what I couldn't. This is a replica of a friend's Suburban. He bought it to restore so he could fit his growing family in it. I built it how he wanted it took when it was done.

I stretched a '72 Blazer chassis to fit the Suburban wheel base. I used some resin 8 lug wheels. I cast the Blazer seats so it would have 4 bucket seats like he wants. He has a set of vintage clearance lights he's going to add. He's planning on painting it Kia alien green. He wanted to use a readily available color that was close to the factory color.

I got some glue on the windshield. I'm not sure when it happened, I didn't notice it until I already had the interior and chassis installed. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it now.

Here's a picture of the 1:1 at the beginning of the restoration.

And here's the model.

Very nice!

Hopefully Moebius will include it in their new line up.

Great paint color and finish match. Trim and interior look to be like the original.

Great Job on the 'Burban! I too, wish somebody would tool up a new one.

The Colour is neat.

Nice. We had a red one for a while when I was a kid.
