This has to be one of the coolest rusty rigs I've seen. This truck is the true definition of scale by far. WELL DONE! A rusty 45: Cut 'n' Shut Landcruiser 45 |

The hay bales are made from straw glued to a foam block and wrapped with a couple pieces of wire. I snagged one from my daughter's American Girl Doll farm set but they can be made easily enough. I cut the bale in half and glued the halves to the bed so it looks like the tops are a little higher than the sides. | ||

Just one amazing rig I love all the rust and other old details. What did you make the rear bumper out of? (did I miss it?) |

This is my first time reading this thread I started at the beginning. Your work is incredible the detail on that lexan body is just amazing and the fabricating of the chassis and suspension I salute you for all of that and wish I had the patience to even attempt much of what you've made look easy, and on your first build! |

My brother has a truck just like this one. I almost think it has a red door, I'm going to call him and ask. I love your build, I like when some body does it a little different . |

The dirty windshield, hay bales, and rusty dent above the front window are totally where it is at. You made a lexan scaler body look better than the molded body scale rigs I have seen. The mudshots looked real.
