David G. Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 the same style as mine? They're similar and a little unusual. I've only seen two or three other sets on other Rangers, so I imagine that the chances of finding a 1:25 set out there are very small. I've been researching ways of building them myself, and what you've got going is sure to be helpful. Regards, David G.
Maverick351 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Brother.Very interesting. That's some major bodywork. I am anxious to see your idea take shape.
ajulia Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 il let you know when i cast a few Great! Sounds cooler than a fan in Japan! LOL!

Randy D Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Hello Jose, Great fun to follow your build!! Super scratch work. Randy
Dr. Cranky Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 This build just keeps getting better and better. Lots of fun stages and lots of fun progress. Well, at least it is so from here.
made007 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) My resin its been stored for too long, now its old and its making bubbles, casted like 7 rims and took theese 4 that were the best, but i have to order some new resin, here are the pics: i ran out of Mr surfacer 500, so i did a Tamiya gray putty and laquer thinner solution to fill the bubbles in the resin, i put some in a small cap and aplied with a small brush: Edited February 14, 2011 by made007
Dr. Cranky Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 They look pretty beat up and road weary. Perfect for this build!
made007 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 some mods: seat brakects: in the reference i have, the seats are with some sort of cover, so i did the tissue paper technique, thanks to cranky for that
