dencon Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Is it worth it to offer the removable top from this kit. For years AMT offered this blazer without the roof. But with that re issue from Model King a few years ago. I wondered if it was worth doing. Thanks for your input Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Personally Matt, I think the 4wd set up, you know, the front axle, transfer case etc. would do ya better. I think they'd be more adaptable to other chevy trucks(and Vans) than just the roof for the Blazer. But that's just my opinion. Hey, maybe you could do both.

Phatsamurai Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I agree, 4x4 running would be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I agree, 4x4 running would be sweet Yep, maybe a re-pop of the ex-MPC (now AMT) '84 GMC 4x4's suspension would be a popular seller, especially so if it was made to fit the Revell '73-'86 Chevy pickup kits with their horrible leaf-spring-and-straight-axle front suspension.

Longbox55 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I agree with doing the 4x4 setup, too. Howeverm the setup from the '84 GMC (exept for the incorrect for '84 NP203 T-case) would be much better. The axles are far more prototype accurate than the ones in the Blazer.

dencon Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Thanks for the input. I have got a bunch of truck stuff I am working one. You will have to wait and see what it is. I was about to come out with a short box for the Dodge Little Red Express but Modelhaus just came out with all of the Dodge truck stuff. So I am going to be discontinuing the grills and stopped on the short box. So I wanted to move into classic GM and Ford stuff along with a line of old vintage big rig stuff. So if you have any ideas for that area of the resin aftermarket. Let me know. Check this out if you like the old big rigs. http://www.denconresin.com/classictruck.html Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanSilva Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 You beat me to the Big Job! Ive been slowly chipping away at mine (fenders, fuel tanks and wheels) Nice work on that Matt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencon Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 You beat me to the Big Job! Ive been slowly chipping away at mine (fenders, fuel tanks and wheels) Nice work on that Matt! Thanks Ryan. But I cannot take the credit for the great work on this master. This is the work of Dave Bell of Phoenix Az. In my opinion one of the greatest model car builders that you never knew about. Unless you have been to model shows in Az or southern Cali. You never have seen his stuff. He does not go on the Internet nor make it to enough big shows to get in the magazines. You guys do not know what you are missing from not seeing Dave's models. Now that he is retired. He just churns out the most inventive and imaginative models you will see. Anyway, Wait till you see the suspension components and other pieces Dave mastered for this "Big Job" project. I will have some pics today. Here are a couple of Dave's Models ...yea, Dave's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
