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'.

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!

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.

Stadium trucks

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.

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.

Has anyone used the photoetched bead locks from www.dirtmodeler.com/ on anything?

Terrible movie. The book is better. Just. :D

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.

Randy, I have two different sets from Michael but haven't used them on a build...yet B)

Super nice quality pieces!

The only vehicle in this category that would be of any interest to me would be the Lamborghini LM.

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).
