Check out the truck I just got done "re-building"..!!! This is why I didn't have a chance to do anything with "Clampy" this weekend...

Is that the Kyosho One?
And thanks for those pictures i needed a bonnet profile one

[Dready]

Couple of progress pics.
Got the rough shape of the rear arch on and also started profiling the bonnet.
Looking a lot more 4runner ish now for sure.

How many coats of paint is that now .

Hardly any actually!
There shall we say finder coats,
What i mean is it's how i work out the hi's and low's and little bits that need more work.

I find it easier.

[Dready]

Rear Tailgate has started to take shape, this body building lark is alot harder than i thought. Measure it, measure it again, cut it, sand it stick it sand it!!

Still getting there slowly.

Nice tail gate. I think it's time for me to step up my game.

Nice job on the fenders, definitely looking a lot more like a 4runner now tail gate came out awesome.

I was going to say his must have inspired you...

Nice work all around! Love the different ways you/people modify the yota to make it something unique and their own. Regardless the craftsmanship of the work I respect that the most. Yours is nicely done!

tell me about it, just looking at the build made me rip it apart and do it justice!

Right Dready's Recipe Time


You will need:-

1x Topcad 8 hole Alloy Rim



2) Two Circles the same Diameter of the rim. (Use a hole cutter in a drill for a nice precise circle.) Get an adult to help you if your not very talented!



3) Some paint, and strong glue I have gone with some nice SemiGloss Black, Bright orange and some Silver



4) Glue the Rings on the rim and paint howver you like.


5) Stand back and admire your handwork mean looking Rims for practically no money!

6) Make 3 more otherwise your rig will look funny

They turn the very ordinary looking topcad wheel into something alot more trail looking.

Seeing as the wheels came out pretty good think i'm going to go for a Slightly used and abused look rather than a factory fresh runner.

Completely Stumped on a colour though

Any thoughts anyone?

Just been working on a new chassis design and trying to sus out how to make the interior fit.

Black with an orange stripy type thing down the side would look wicked cool. Plus it would match mine if I ever finish it .

what something like this?

[ruffryder]

need to do it with an airbrush if you want something like that.Needs colour fading round the edges,otherwise it will look poo.
i reckon black grill,bumper,wheel arches,rear roof sections and bonnet with orange everywhere else

you can,but its difficult.You need to lift the masking tape on the edge where you want it to fade.Doesnt always work and you can end up with a hard edge.

I would go for a darker deep orange.Too bright and will look like a toy(huh?)

I was toying with gun metal silver too?
might look good with the black tubework maybee pick the orange off the rims and use it on the internal rollcage?

Something like this sort of mean and purposefull.

[ruffryder]

YES!!!
