I ordered Ed Roth's ''Drag nut'' this morning. I'm so stoked, had to share it!

Here's a WIP of a Revell kit I was turning into something for a Mad Max style build. I made all the modifications out of styrene (all the black/rusty metal and bumpers). Still have a bunch to do to it for the weathering, especially on the body.

I used to build models when i was a teen. Since gettin into crawlers, ive had an itch to start them again. When i started the body for my scx24 with a 1/24 scale of my 1:1, i caught the bug again.

Recently picked up a peterbilt at hobby lobby. Been workin on it for a couple weeks here n there. Got the body painted sunday n finished paintin the engine tues. Got the rest painted today. I didnt realize the color shift said to use a black base til i went to paint. Didnt have black, so i used a dark grey instead. It looks really good in better lighting than those pics.

Heres wat ive got so far...
