Jared Roach Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 So first off I'll state this IS a die cast. But it is 1/25 scale and this will be completely redone and fully detailed. But anyways it is made by a company called speccast. This also came with a John deer push mower, a rake and some can. This will be completely stripped and it will be done as a higher trim level. I'm thinking a gun metal gray right now. I plan on getting it fully stripped over the next few days and I will post some progress then. Thanks for looking and I'll keep ya updated.
1zebra3 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Jared were did you get this I would love to get one to do my 1/1 F250
Jared Roach Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Hey man I found this at the local John deer dealership on sale for 20 bucks. I think they were originally 65 bucks or something. You can find em on ebay for various prices, or try a john deer dealership. Update on the truck, I got it mostly dissembled and all I got to do is drill out the rivets holding the headliner and glass in. Then I can prime and repaint it.
Jared Roach Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 So here's an update on this, got it striped and primed. Now onto color. It should be in color here soon, thanks for looking.
Jared Roach Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 In color: A couple more coats and it's ready for clear.
Jared Roach Posted December 30, 2011 Author Posted December 30, 2011 So I got the clear on it and I did a mock up on it. I still need to polish it out and do alot of detail painting. Hopefully I'll have this thing finished soon.
1zebra3 Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Jared you are moving right along on this build.It looks great. Hope I can find one.(Or maybe two or three -cheap) Edited December 30, 2011 by 1zebra3
Jared Roach Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 Quick little update on this, got it polished out and painted the interior. It still needs alot of detail on the interior.
RodneyBad Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Great looking truck. Nice repaint.. I have another version of that truck with the toolbox bed. Ebay
MyBradKeselowski Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 These look to be great looking trucks how are the details?
Jared Roach Posted April 1, 2012 Author Posted April 1, 2012 The details are pretty good. Not as nice as a model kit but it details up nice. So I decided this is going to be work truck. I made a Back Rack for it. I might do a landscaping, construction, or snow plow company, but we'll see.
Jared Roach Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 I might add a light bar on top, but I don't know. Anyone have an idea on other things to add? Feels like it is missing something to me but I am unsure.
Jared Roach Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 Added a light bar, now it needs to be painted and detailed.
RodneyBad Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I think with the light bar, it makes it more of a state truck. Maybe some reflective stripes on it? BTW: nice headache rack..
