traditional Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 These two micro-trucks were built 'box-stock' from two different 1/24 Fujimi kits......same vehicle but different box-art and with a couple of different bed and spare tire options. The 1/1 Daihatsu MidgetII vehicles were manufactured between 1996 and 2001 but evidently still have a cult following in Japan and since my brother and I have a passion for 1/1 microcars, building these kits was a 'Must Do'. Paint is custom mixed automotive basecoat/clearcoat to match a photo that I have of a 1/1. Although the pics show a bluish color, the models are actually sort of a turquoise but, for some reason, my camera doesn't pick up the added green.
peekay Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Different alright and wonderful. I'm assuming you did one and your brother the other, so the talent runs in the family.
krazyglu Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Those are cool, you did a great job on them.
Porscheman Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 These are great and beautifully built.
bbowser Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Very nice! One of those would be fun to tool around the city.
circaboy Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Wow! they are totally awesome! Very nice paint too! You make me think about a suzuki carry st30 thats been sitting on the shelve for too long now...
Chris White Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Weird, but cool non the less. Nice work
PappyD340 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Very clean indeed, super NICE builds Clifford!
zenrat Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Very good. I passed this the other day. Had to stop and snap some pics. It really needs to be built...
charlie8575 Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 To quote Tom McCahill, "so cute, you don't know whether to pinch its cheek or swat it." It is a cute little truck, that's for sure. Charlie Larkin

Chuck Most Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Oh man. Why can't we get stuff like that here in the USA? I could use for going to the store. I love your SHINY :) builds. There are a few places that import them- there are a couple of these (and other microtrucks similar to these) in my area used on farms. Great job on these, Cliff!
