My toddler is taking out my models faster than I can build and repair them. So I wanted to post some of my more unique builds so there's some sort of record of them before they're gone. I've been pretty dissatisfied with kit availability so I've been printing and scratch building my own. Let me know if anything is interesting and I can expand on how I tackled it. And if you're in the Denver area and a wizard with custom decals please reach out. I need some help in that department. Please forgive the Colorado dust, it's hard to manage.

Forest Service F-350 dually seen in Washington: Revell wide body kit with stretched frame and scratch built flat bed

Tucker Sno-cat: Entirely scratch built from styrene and a few things from the bits box

Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Chris-Craft Runabout: Started as the Revell jeep honcho with a 3d printed roof. Bass wood panels

Land Rover Defender 110 Ministry of Defense: Revell kit Chopped the roof and some light scratch building

Camel Trophy 110 and Rhib Boat: Revell kit with a lot of scratch building and 3d printed extras. Boat hull is 3D printed in two parts everything else is scratch built

G Wagen Doka Pickup: Italeri kit, frame stretched and body chopped up. Bed is styrene stock. Wheels 3D printed

Jeep Forward Control, Dodge Power Wagon, Hummer: all works in progress. The first two prints are rough and I'm struggling to turn them around. The hummer was the first kit I ever built torn apart and chopped up. All the other parts are now in my lamborghini. One day I'm going to turn it into a game viewer vehicle I saw in Estes Park

Lamborghini LM002: 3D printed with the guts of my hummer

Pinzgauer 6x6: 3D Printed with a bunch of bits from the Revell Land Rovers

Jeremy Clarksons Range Rover Classic from the Top Gear Bolivia Special: Mostly a fujimi kit on massive tires

Buhanka: 3D printed

Mitsubishi Pajero Evo: Two different Fujimi (I think) Pajero's grafted together. The box flared fenders are sculpted by hand in modelling clay. Various styrene wings and flares

Land Rovers in Exploration: 5 LR's from various promotional stunts the company organized. Bunch of chopping and scratch building. In desperate need of custom decals

Two Land Cruisers and a four door Defender pickup: all 3D printed and added on to. The brown game viewer Land Cruiser's 3D printed seats are blowing up one by one. Word to the wise don't print hollow parts. 

 I'm going to work on posting my other builds here as I get them organized.
