Chuck Most Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 THIS!! The Landmaster from Damnation Alley. The ultimate offroad vehicle! Fun fact...that same vehicle also portrayed the 'Paperboy 2000' in the old sitcom 'Get A Life'. 1
Tom Geiger Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Rodney, those are pretty cool builds off the Suzuki! I'll be watching if you post their progress! Here's a Suzuki my daughter and I built together when she was a kid. Back when I got the Geo Tracker new she was all excited and into it. She asked if we could build a model of it. The Escudo kit wasn't out yet but I had this one. So we built it in the colors of my Tracker which satisfied her. A modeler friend of mine was also a jeweler and he engraved the little plates for her. That really made her day! 1
Edsel-Dan Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Believe it or not, There IS a Landmaster in the works!! However, Not many here will want one. It will be PAPER!!!!! I believe the scale will be 1/43 at least on the first offering.
Deano Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Do tell! Please? Believe it or not, There IS a Landmaster in the works!! However, Not many here will want one. It will be PAPER!!!!! I believe the scale will be 1/43 at least on the first offering.
hooknladderno1 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Here are some of my "off road" vehicles as well as one "on the drawing board: "Being refurbished at the moment" "On the drawing board" I have the diecast stripped, awaitng replacement of the current wheels and tires then fabrication of the hose body, brush plow and water monitor on the front of the unit.
Hollywood Jim Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 If I show you and someone else builds it; then I won't want to build it anymore........ LOL . .

Tom Geiger Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 David, I love your Hummer conversions! Very cool work!

robertw Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I've owned both an '88 and a '98 Jeep Cherokee and would like to build either.
jlhboys1969 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I would like to build "Swamp Trucks" with those tall tractor tires
JM485 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Stadium trucks Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Toyota seen here at LA Colisium Roger Mears' D21 Hardbody Thank you!!! I have been wanting a kit of this since I started building. The 80s stadium trucks are by far the coolest offroad trucks in my book, I wish I was alive to see them run at the time. That was real racing, trucks flying everywhere and not a yellow flag in site. I have seen the races through youtube and this was just crazy back in the day. I also wouldn't mind some modern dirtbike kits. Would be great to build a replica of my 06 RM-250, but I doubt the market is there. Edited September 15, 2013 by Casey
randx0 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 I haven't seen anything that I wouldn't want to build ,I often wonder if more builders would have an interest if there were more options. Also I agree on the dirt bikes and an atv would be cool too.
randx0 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Has anyone used the photoetched bead locks from www.dirtmodeler.com/ on anything? Edited September 13, 2013 by randx0
zenrat Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Terrible movie. The book is better. Just. I'm constantly surprised, give the number made, that there are not more Landcruisers kitted. Personally i'd like full detail 60 and 100 series wagons. Tamiya kitted an 80 series but I guess it didn't sell well enough to justify doing the 100. I'm currently building one and it's a masterpiece of plastic engineering with working suspension and steering.
Craig Irwin Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 My "someday" list has severial early (1967 to 69) historic fiberglass buggys, like the first Mexican 1000 winner.
jeffs396 Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Has anyone used the photoetched bead locks from www.dirtmodeler.com/ on anything? Randy, I have two different sets from Michael but haven't used them on a build...yet Super nice quality pieces!
randx0 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Posted September 14, 2013 Jeff, I have one of each of the first run . I just haven't had the bench time to put them to good use.
sjordan2 Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) The only vehicle in this category that would be of any interest to me would be the Lamborghini LM. Edited September 14, 2013 by sjordan2
Shelby 427 1965 Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Would love to do my brother's beautiful Land Rover.
zenrat Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Tomo - beautifull isn't the adjective I would choose. Ruggedly handsome maybe? Nice avatar BTW (even if I do prefer Sabbath Bl**dy Sabbath & Never Say Die).
