Model Brain Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Model Kings Camper set. Im going with a 1964 Chevy pick up Truck, I've cut out the truck and camper to make it a pass thru. The chassis and truck body is nearly finished, it's getting the matching truck bed as a trailer, And a bit of a Corvette theme. Edited April 4, 2015 by Model Brain
Model Brain Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Here are a few more. ... Edited April 4, 2015 by Model Brain
Atmobil Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 This looks very nice, I'm looking forward to more updates
Model Brain Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Some more photos. No paint errors...yet
disabled modeler Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Looking good there Johnathan... I need to get a hold of a few of these campers myself for projects...keep up the great work...
RubiconGuy11 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) This is a great idea, and the trailer is such a cool addition to the whole theme. Edited February 27, 2015 by RubiconGuy11
Ray J Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Looks GREAT ! I'll be checking in on this one, Have in the works a 1 ton 9 ft stepside, hope to get time to work on it soon. RJ
Krazy Rick Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Great job so far, I really like the trailer as well. I'm going to be going with a 60 Chev truck, my buddy suggested to narrow the cabinets a bit to make it more spacious & less cluttered & I think I will be doing so; the washroom seems to really take up alot of floor space. Edited February 27, 2015 by Krazy Rick
carrucha Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Good progress so far. I plan on doing the same build using the Revell 1965 Chevy p/u kit.
Model Brain Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Yep so right Rick... the washroom will be trimmed on mine as well, So my pass through work will stand out better, only problem, is the floor base. Thanks and whats up to Rick, Troy, Raymond, Hector, Mike, Gaute from Norway what Sup and thanks. I'm waiting for tax cash, so I can get a compressor for the air brush, then I'm in business. till then I have nothing to update... I'm bummed, that means I'm not building much. I have been doing a side project... Edited March 1, 2015 by Model Brain
Krazy Rick Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 What is that crazy van thing there ? .... I like it so far !!! - what kind of compressor are you thinking of ?
checkmate Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I've got one of these to put together too so I'll be watching this one to see how it turns out.
towman1271 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Great attention to details..Love the pull behind idea!
Model Brain Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) The little blue van thing is an 1/32 scale MPC R2D2 star wars van from 1977, Google it I didn't know they existed till I had an Idea and theses popped up on ebay, I got all 3. The Darth Vader van ( black) and a Luke Skywalker van.( white ) non of them came complete missing wheels, and Decals, they came from Canada, they were worth the wait. and affordable for untouched, body's and chassis. windows were in great shape, and interiors two. ( I paid $8 bucks ! for all, thats it! + shipping $20 )... norm over$50 - $100 each complete and boxed. Im Mashing it with the AMT Moonscope kit it's a 2002 remake. ( part of a large collection I purchased ) @ Rick, I'm not sure what to get, I'm going to the Hobby store to get better knowledge on compressors. i'd like to spend no more that $200 on it, anyone have any ideas, on what to get? What do you have? like it? Thanks Jonathan Edited March 5, 2015 by Model Brain
Model Brain Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Any updates on this one? I wish Raymond, I STILL have not yet received my income tax return, it's been over 2 months, I'm so mad, I need it to buy a new air compressor for my air brush set. So I am stuck with the paint being the next step. Hopefully I get up and going soon. Thanks! Oh and P.S. i will never use a rattle can ever ever ever ever again. Edited March 11, 2015 by Model Brain
MGL Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Nice! What wheels and tires are you using? I think those are what I need for my current project.
Model Brain Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Hey Mark. I'm not sure, The wheels are a resin set, I think the tires came with the RV, I could be wrong, I do have some extras Im not using i could trade or sell. Edited April 1, 2015 by Model Brain
carrucha Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 The Modelhaus sells a similar tire and wheel set. It's part #T-800 medium duty truck tires and wheel set.
Model Brain Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) A problem came up, Not sure how I ended up like this... The wheelbase is now a bit too wide for the camper body, So what do you think everyone???? Cut out the camper body and ad "fenders"? Or work on the differential to narrow it? Edited March 22, 2015 by Model Brain
Atmobil Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Cut the axles a littlebit on both side of the diff housing.
