curt raitz Posted December 8, 2011 Share 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' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randx0 Posted December 8, 2011 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
