Default My try at a Scale look

Well I had made this Frame and yeah its a clod. I am trying to make it look as scale as I can(mods you can move if it doesn't belong here) I want to get a Unimoger Roof rack and accessorys for the back, to go with the Unimoger AWESOME scaler rock rings. I put some stickers on it to try with the scale look and though it wasn't enough so I decided to try my hand out on Tube work. I made the rock sliders and thought they came out pretty sweet. So I started up an Exo. I am about half way done with it. I have a lot of little work still to do. I am still trying to figure out how I am gona make it so I can take the exo on and off when I need to get the body off.

Well I guess let me know what you guys think

The truck looks pretty nice. Even though it is a clod it still looks semi scale. Nice looking stang in the back also.

Wow looks really nice! So explain to me why I built that bronco exo for you? hehe.

By the way get back to work on that thing! Did you get the parts you needed from your LHS?

Yeah I ended getting a few things and a tranny. I worked on it tonight. I am having troubles with the rear inboard shock mounts. I think I am gona have to switch to a different shock. I have those integy piggy backs. I like the nice bling to them, but the piggy back part is kicking my arsss. Any ideas on wich shocks to use????? Oh you built that EXo cause I didn't want a crappy one made by me and make the Sweet paint job you did look like crap.

Thanks T-boy, I know like I said it IS a Clod. But what can I say clods are easy stuff compared to these TLT's there are sooo many little things that I keep on having to run to the LHS for, cause I am learning as I go on the TLT's

Really cool truck... don't sweat the Clod part cuz you did enough other detail to overshadow that. I feel you on the Stang thing, I got a '83 GLX convertible in my garage that doesn't get enough attention because I have WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many interests. My 1:1 Bronco gets the most disrespect.:-(

So what do some of you guys think I should do to help it get a little more scale like look. One thing I am wanting is a Roof Rack from Unimoger to put on it. Any other ideas?

Yeah I have those swamp dogs there too. I just need to stick some rock rings on those rims to make them look a little better.

I would like to get a set of Geo's. The only thing is arn't they a bit smaller then most other 2.2 truck tires? They might look a little funny under the big body of the 650??? I guess there is only one way to find out!

Well, first of all, The body looks really fake, tires and wheels donot help at all and you might wanna turn the sparewheel tubes upside down so the spare sits lower, then go from there.
