Glued on a strip of Evergreen Plastic Rod and used a soldering iron.

This is from another forum model thread.

the guy said he 3d printed it for a model he was building but never said what size it was.the detail is insane!!!!!

Well this has stalled out. Can some builders post more pics of their work ? This is a awesome thread if we can keep it going. Any big truck builders ? Custom 4x4 builders ? Any tips ? Kit reviews ? Think building a model is a waste of time , tell us about it.

I'm thinking of starting one of many I have waiting to get built, maybe i'll make a poll to see which one I will build ....I think I'm gonna try to find the two models I combined into one that looked liked it came out of a box....it was a Plymouth duster body on a K5 blazers 4X4 frame ....

A couple months ago, the wife asked me to buy her a truck model kit for our "G" scale railroad layout. So I bought a 1/24 scale Ford cabover Pepsi delivery truck, to go with the pizza diner I'm building. As of yet she has not started it because, as she says, she doesn't know what all the parts are, even though they are numbered, and still attached to the parts trees, so I told her I'd help her...., as soon as I finish my 1/6 Willy's.

After I sold all my scaler stuff off a little over a year ago I dug out my 1/24 1/25 kits and started building again. There's some nice builds in here!

Here's a Honcho I rebuilt from an old glue bomb a couple months back...

And a ZR-1 Nova I built after that...

I use 30awg wrapping wire for plug wires, you can buy a 50ft spool at RadioShack for the same price hobby dealers want for 3ft.

I needed a break this past summer, from building RC's. I started trolling ebay looking for some models I tried to build as a kid back in the early 70's

Revell 1\8 bikes. These are all at least 30 years old. I collect to build for myself.

1st, the L.A. Street Chopper, I have 3 more of these to build, but they will be different then the box.








The Police Bike









The Dragon Fire

Love it guys three pages of good stuff no question.

I've been putting a collection together of all the NASCAR champions 1949 - present. It contains both diecast and models both styrene and resin cast. The newer cars are of course diecast. In the middle range they are rare diecasts and customs (stripped and repainted). The older cars are where the models and resin cast cars live. I'm up to date with the exception of six unfinished early year champions. I've been working on it I when ever I have extra time for over ten years. I'll have to take a photo it's kinda cool.

Kinda along same lines. Road trip yesterday, old dodge truck part search. Seen a 80's nissan sentra setting on a old school monster truck frame. Would have taken a pic or two , but was foggy and raining and cold , I was in lock down . Did not seem worth the trouble to poo myself .

The booondocker price is super high. I do not understand why they do not re release it. The cop out kit is still normal price.
I built the cop out as a kid allmost pulled the trigger on one last week.
If I lived to be a hundred I could not finish what I allready have.
local show in a month or two , bet I spend over $200 on kits and parts when it gets here.
