Chuck Most Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Seeing that engine and rubbing my hands. Yes, yes.... This one will be sweet!
Shardik Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 I agree with the Madman; that motor is sweet, and you've put it to good use here. Are the winches scratch built? They look perfect here.
Randy D Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Hi Mikey, There is a whole lot to like about this one :D Body and frame work is outstanding!! Great motor. Randy

mikey Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 Looking great.....real nice proportions and stance. What are the wheels from, and what is your avatar? I've never seen anything like that before.......... The wheels are from a Dodge Ram dually and the tires are from the parts box.My avatar is a model i did which is BADFISH resin body from Jimmy Flinstone.Ricky Couch did the master of it and it was my tribute to him.Here is a side shot of it.

Jantrix Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Your weathering looks like it was done with a brush. What happened with the salt effect?
