Custom 1 off Xtreme Taco/Honcho. Prob not what your expecting...
 

Ok so I recently joined and made a couple posts of my jeep but I really wanted a Hard body Tacoma or 4 runner. thought of just making a box for the Honcho, or using a Tamiya tundra for a base. Instead I scratch built a Tacoma style body..
it's not exact but it'll do for me.
I bought a honcho cab to chop up and use most of the front end for my build.
even though the wheel arches aren't the same as a Taco it does have the round curves I did want. so I went with it.
I have made a grill for it though, but it's not quite finished.
I'm still trying to figure the box sides for it, I might leave it or add more layers and round it out some more.
this truck will be on a scx chassis with rc4wd leafs in the rear, but that won't be for a long while yet.
this is my first attempt at this so please be patient with me. as it won't be a one week project lol
here's some pic's of where I'm at....
sorry about the quality of pic's.. (phone pic's)

HOLY SH*T :shock: NIce Stryne work "thumbsup" This is going to be a nice build

I see what you did there. "thumbsup" Awesome Idea, and awesome styrene work!

F%*@ Picasso, this is art at its best!"thumbsup"

Thanks a lot guy's!
like I said it's going to take a while to get this to exactly where I want
but I'll try to keep this updated as I work on it

Definitely not what I was expecting. Much better "thumbsup"

How strong is the styrene. Can it withstand a good beating.

Thanks..

the styrene is pretty strong yes, but just like any plastic it can be broke..

Holly s!@# batman thats freakin sweet u got my attension...:shock::shock:"thumbsup"

Damn, good work. It wasn't what I was expecting!

fantastic styrene work so far :shock:, cant wait to see it come together."thumbsup"

amazing styrene!!! keep up the good work"thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

Excellent work!"thumbsup"

Did you scratch build that Cherokee body in the background also?

Looks awesome, nice job.

We need somone of your abilities to make some tacoma style bedsides and make a mold. I'd love to have a bed for my Honcho instead of the cage.

Ya I was going to make a box originally for the honcho body but I wanted a pretty much full hard body. My Tacoma is about a inch narrower than a honcho.

thats one helluva entry.. lol great work so far! looking forward to this one..

Thanks guys for all the compliments. It's motivating! I only get a hour or so to work on this a night. But I will have updates soon.

You know how many of these you could sell? :mrgreen: Nice Work!
