Hey Jeff, that model I built with parts from 5 different truck models. The cab and bed was from an AMT 72 chevy, the frame was made from 3 AMT 55 chevy trucks and the wheels,engine,t-case and axels are from an AMT 83 GMC...

Re: Post your truck model pics here.
 

What a shame to tear into those rustfree`55s.

Re: Post your truck model pics here.
 

Yeah the motor home is 90% scratch built. I have almost 300 hrs in building that thing. I also have a scratch built Bobcat. I need a gilrfriend, or at least a life...LOL

Nice to see so many other model builders out there. I was starting to think that the dicast and pre painted stuff was killing the plastic kit market...

Let`s vote......Chuck wins!!

Re: Post your truck model pics here.
 

Thanks. I usually just build as a hobby. It took me alot of years and many many kits to get to where I'm at.Half the time I think something I build looks like crap when everybody else loves it. I guess it's like they say "You're your own worst critic"...

I want to build a`72 4wd promo to add to my authentic promo collection.So,it has to look stock.The easy part is,once I match original paint,all I have to do is paint everything one color,:).That used to burn my butt when I built models as a kid when other kids didn`t even paint anything,WTF?I guess it still gets me goin`!ARGG!!!

Re: Post your truck model pics here.
 

You're supposed to paint em??? I thought they was molded "in color"









;)

Re: Post your truck model pics here.
 

Hey special-K, there is a model show coming in up a few months not far from you. It's in Towson right off the the Balt. beltway... I think I'm going to go to it this year...


Chuck

Re: Post your truck model pics here.
 

Cool!Do you have any info?I`ve never been to such a thing.I`d like to see that.

Re: Post your truck model pics here.
 

I have a 69 blazer dealer promo...hehehehhe its been packed away for years.

Re: Post your truck model pics here.
 

I have a good 60 or so kits still in the boxes. I am pretty sure that I don't have even one Chevy truck.

Re: Post your truck model pics here.
 

Where did you order these from. I did a search in google , but I could only find a Place over Seas to buy from. Trying to save money on Shipping:lol:

Re: Post your truck model pics here.
 

I just got mine from this guy on ebay, expensive, yes, but I couldn't find one in a store anywhere. Don't know where the rims came from, I'd like to know too:) This guy is a good seller, 100% feedback, got my truck within a week, and it was very well packaged.
