curt raitz Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 This model has been on and off my workbench for the past 20 years. It is from "SJS Resins" a company that hasn't been around for 20 plus years. A relatively rough casting of a unique subject matter. It took a lot of work to get it presentable.Used the AMT 3100 Chevrolet Pickup as the base kit, just had to stretch the chassis to get the wheels/tires to fit. Biggest issue was the warpage between the upper and lower body, readily apparent from a rear 3/4 view. Paint is Model Master's Bright Aqua Pearl Lacquer No.28115 with a couple of UltraGloss Clearcoats. Had to put something in the bed of the truck, so...now I had a reason to finish building the Go-Kart from Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland Overall, I'm happy with the final result... Thanx for lookin'
Kit Basher Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Wow! That thing is really cool! The more I look at it the better I like it. So totally different. Great job!
Chuck Most Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Good to see an old SJS piece built up. Love the Go-Kart, too.

randx0 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 very cool , it is somewhat comforting to see that you also have projects that take awhile to get done.because you usually just fly through assembly
