Off too a good start. Wheel base is off a tad but should be fixable.

Thanks man, the wheels base is off but it's very hard to work it with the front mount. As of now it has 2 F150 and 2 hummer center pieces for that length, not a whole lot I can do now, maybe at a later date

Thanks man, it will be a offroader for the most part. Modern as in 2000-06 or even newer?

[dreamingISdrifting]

Modern to me is 1999-2010, This will be an intersting build

If you can find a 1/24 kit let me know and I'll build it, only seen one newer but it was for a fire truck kit that cost like 100 for the body and rear box

Thanks man,

If anyone couldn't tell I cut the body to make a single cab

[blue504life]

got a little bit more done, hoping to have it primed some time this weekend








screws or no screws in the beadlocks?
what color should the locks be?
truck will be a 2 tone brown/light brown

[BulletsRain]

Not sure on the bead locks.. but the screws make them look kind of too big.

Looks good though

not sure how?

a little paint on them will help, just dont know the color
the pics do nothing for it, looks better in person (of course)

Thats looking really good, can't wait to see the clear coat on it, btw does that 'dirt' look like powdered hot choclate?

Thanks man, haha, the "dirt" is actually that kiddie moon sand stuff, white and orange mixed. Really cool stuff but gets stuck to the tires after a while


bumpers, dash, and grille done



bed cover started



bed cover finished


just need a little black paint in a few spots

WOW now thats 2 colors that are hard to make work...but i think you did a great job....definitely fits the color scheme of that era of truck

or is it tri color? looks like a 3rd shade of brown on the tailgate trim?

i liked the beadlocks without the screws...thats just me...maybe brown beadlocks with a black center/rim?

nice work on the cutting and mounting of the body as well...cut in half it still uses +/- 3 full clips???...that must have been one long model...maybe an original model chassis pic for comparison?...for curiosity...

looking forward to your next set of updates...and you got a sandbox in you room ...^^^...???

edit: 80's tonneau cover style is a nice touch too...good to see you doing a project again

ill take the screws out tomorrow, might remake them and make the screws smaller. do you mean a darker brown? the rims are the black saleen wheels repainted flat black

it was a big a$$ truck to start with, the kit box is about a normal box and a half. the chassis is 2 F150 and 2 hummer center parts and still needs to be a tad longer

i didnt know it was a 80s style, i tried to google it with no luck so i just went with it
thanks man, ive still got a few unfinished/non started ones to post

Not a fan of brown on vehicles but I have to say I like the look on this. I think the beadlocks looks better now that they are painted brown. Screws don't stand out as much.
