Bates Offroad Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 I got this cool plastic toy monster truck, the body has almost the same lines as an early bronco. here is the body off the toy monster truck. I am going to make the body look more like a bronco and cut the back end off to make a half cab.
Erik Smith Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) I'd like to see where this goes. Interesting idea. I like those old broncos and they are a black hole in the styrene world. My grandpa had a brown one with white spoke wheels and white rear fender flare - that's what I remember about it. Edited April 15, 2011 by Coyotehybrids
Bates Offroad Posted April 15, 2011 Author Posted April 15, 2011 thanks. Alot needs to be changed on the body like the grill. early bronco grills look like this
Bates Offroad Posted April 15, 2011 Author Posted April 15, 2011 with styrene and alot of spot putty i think that I will be able to make it look more like a bronco
RodneyBad Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Very Interesting. It does look like a Defender 90 tho. got any front pics?
W-409 Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) I've been thinking of modify this kit to '66 Bronco... And of course it would be Rock Crawler... Like that in the picture below. The project looks very interesting, keep it going. I'm watching this one surely! BTW, where you get those correct tires? Edited April 15, 2011 by W-409
