SBG 'Stinky Ass Acres Crawler''

[Dready]

Right lets get some paint on this thing.
I looked for an actual colour but couldnt find anything close off the shelf so I mixed up my own and airbrushed on a base coat.

Then Proceeded to attack it to within an inch of its life.
I have most of it done to my liking.
Once it gets used and starts rusting on its own it should age up nicely.
Pictures.
Hawkeyed viewers will notice I have stuck some wood in the bed and widened the front edge of the bed.

This truck is awesome, I love the metal bed and hood!

Stunning build, looking forward to seeing some more metalwork from your new found tig skills.

[Mike Flea]

Great job!, that's outstanding metal work, the weathering is excellent, can't wait to see the natural rusting start

[Dready]

Small Upate got the Door Logo's done.
Changed the Writings for some other ramblings.

Love this truck you do awesome work

[Dready]

Couple of little things.
Fabbed up a rather nasty front bumper from some steel oddments.
Kept it simple with just a towing point welded on.
Going rusty already even before I mounted it up!!



Going to need one of these to as a Stock plastic one wasnt going to cut it.




I have used this guy before and i'd use him again even if he is getting harder to find.
He'll need a colour change in the clothing department but i'll get to that later.

The driver fits the build perfectly.

Great build, that steering wheel I amazing, the grips on the back of the wheel add some scale goodness.

[Dready]

Some more progress:-
Splashed some Black at the underside and the links


Turned down the Hi-lift Shocks and Painted them White shortened the back 2 just a touch.






Altered the driver so he fits nice. Adjusted his legs and then repainted him.

So inspiring.

Are you going to "aging" those shiny VQ axles too?

Im umming and arring about refinishing them, I have an idea but need to take a brave pill first.

[Stormin2u]

Nifty build Dready it has lots of character.

[dezfan]

This isn't a crawler.

This is a work of art.

[FATALLYILL]

this build is freaking amazing! I love it! by far my favorite build I've ever seen!
I would absolutely love to own something like this its looking killer! I envy your building skills.

[Dready]

Brave Pill swallowed axles done.
I think the grey needed toning down but I did still want them to stand out.
Shot them with some Satin Black then airbrushed in some hi-lights with 'Warplock Bronze'

[Sqbiedoo]

That was a small pill ;)

Paint can be removed relatively easily so I didnt feel that bad.

Vp need to offer custom anodizing as an option on these axles.

Agree, especially for the price they're asking
