THAT LOOKS ACE!

this is one jaw droping wild ride,

Cool.

thanks guys ,finished sanding,primering then chucked some colour on this evening. Main body is going to need a little more sanding (paint highlighted some stuff that primer helped hide) and the blues a bit too dark. But thats ok the main thing I want to take away from this build is tiding up body work issues . So heres a couple of teaser shots



cheers for the support and comments

looking good so far

looking good mate

ok its been a while but i think its time for the SILLY QUESTION

is this a small build or is that a huge paint tin in the picture ?

other than that bloody awsome

its one of the big humbrol tins. Its a 25th scale build severly chopped but

This is some serious work, i like the idea and concept for the comp.

thanks guys, bit more progress



kinda close?

got to make another bottle for the back,at least try and get close to a pair lol. Fun to get back on a lathe even a very basic little one.

That's looking brilliant , well done . Very much like the little version .

Yeah that's cool!

you are getting there with it.

Looking very close, well done.

both look mean, You have done a great job in recreating it so far can't weight seeing it finished.

thanks guys, had a bit of a setback yesterday, when I was clearing it with my ex trusty coathanger poked through from the back window it poped the back piller joints . So I finished clearing and then reglued today. Theres practically no putty in the whole chop so have sanded over the join and will mask it off and respray in a couple of days. Did get some plug wireing and the blower tiedown straps done.



Now should I plumb the carbs? I feel that if I do then I'll have to plumb the nitrous bottles at the back which is getting in way deeper than I'd intended to

Lookin cool Brett.

looks bloody awesome good job

The motor looks good as is. I would not plumb any more if you never intended it to be a complex build

It's a flippin' animal, . Can you imagine heading off down the strip with that beast of an engine squallin' in your ears? Very slick truck. Good work.Best,Bill

Sweet.
Maybe add fuel & nitrous lines but stop there?
The panelling in front of the back wheels looks a bit bare. Maybe some decals there or rivet heads (use a 1mm drill and just twist enough to make a dint - looks like theres a rivet there).

Yeah was going to do something there Fred (panels) decided against anymore wiring (taking it too far from the original concept) Fixed the piller cracks,made some tinted windows,alcladed a moon tank and repainted the body of the truck with a crapload of the same blue now that the flake has come through.

used Freds pseudo rivet idea and installed tail lights tho no pics of those doh

That's friggin' wild! The rivets give it a tuff look. Well done!

Thats bitchin Brett !

Cool.
