crazyjim Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 This is the Waverider S10 I got from Lyn. Mostly OTB but I slid a small block Chevy engine in there that came from a Parts Pack. The exhaust is that wire art stuff - lighter than solder but hard to bend.

crazyjim Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 Thanks Nick. It's actually a very nice kit. Comes with a V6 but I wanted the small block.

Sixties Sam Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Nice truck! Very clean, and the color is just right!
justin2020 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I think you knocked this one out the park. Also I like what you did with the Bow Tie. The Vietnam Vets will like that little touch. Thank you for your service! Justin Tisdale
B_rad88 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 wow, thats is another sweet looking model! and thats a awsome green! what green is that? i am little curious! lol.
crazyjim Posted October 10, 2009 Author Posted October 10, 2009 Hey Justin - I think I'm going to start putting the Vietnam ribbon colors on every model I build from now on. My involvement with Vietnam Veterans goes back to 1970 when I came back as one. Next weekend we're bringing The Wall to Ocala, FL and we're going to celebrate being Veterans, we're going remember our fallen heroes, we won't forget our POW/MIAs, going to recognize the families of Veterans and we're certainly going to thank those who are serving now. Brandon - the color is Testor's lime green out of the rattle can, Tamiya clear, and Model Car Wax.
oscarmaier Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 this was the very first kit I ever built way back in junior high. Mine of course did not look this nice, great job, love the paint.

Lyn Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Wonderful work Jim! Perfect thank you for sharing.. Where is the ribbon? I didn't see it. I hope you are having a great day at the wall today!
crazyjim Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 Thanks Lyn. Look at the first pic - the Chevy Bowtie in the center of the grille is painted like the Vietnam Service Ribbon. The Wall won't be here until Thursday but I spent the day try ing to get ready. Built and painted a Field Cross complete with and M-16 replica, boots and helmet. Have to pick up copies of 3000 flyers in the morning andd cut down 50 pieces of electrical conduit for flagpoles. How was the hobby show today?

How was the hobby show today? well I would have had enough time to make all of those flag poles for you at the show today lol.. I did meet another MCM guy though he came up yesterday and today Wayne. Was very interesting listening to him and his buddy talking models and I was of course thankful for the advice they had to offer.. I want to see pictures of the wall, if you don't post them on here please send them to me. I'll send you an email in a few days check'n on ya. I saw the other models you did also beautiful

My father how also chewed the same dirty as you in Vietnam took me when I was a private in the Marines to visit the wall and it was a honor to stand next to it. Someday I hope to see the original in Washington D.C. Cpl. Justin Tisdale USMC
crazyjim Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 Lyn - we'll make it through and I'll get pics to you. Marcia will post on our website after the event. http://vvg9.wordpress.com/ Justin - Semper Fi, Brother.
beefheart22 Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Jim, terrific build. I built the Waverider kit back in high school (as many did by the sounds of it ). I bet my folks probably still have it in one of those boxes full of my old junk they refuse to pitch out after I moved out. Maybe it's not too late to salvage. Thanks for the post!
