|  6th Jeep Trail rig buildup... hi folks, I wanted to start one of those 'long buildup threads,' so here goes. Start:  Found it for $4 at a flea market...  Took it all apart and painted it "Georgia Clay". "Saddle Tan" accents will come later.  Cans get the correct color! More to come!  (It'll be a Clod) Ryan http://www.orcrc.com |

| I love these long *** buildup threads. And I love that Ford GPW body. I think they look great on Clod axles. |

| HOLY COW!  I didn't know that those had that much detail in it! Very nice start, and I love those slat-grills. I'd like to find a decent CJ2A somewhere between a 1/10 and 1/18 to build up resembling my 1:1. -WRM BTW, are 'ya putting anything in the pedestal mount? I bought one of those mini guns at WMart the other day, thinking about mounting it in the bed of a hard clod body. Last edited by WRMorrison; 09-17-2005 at 12:33 AM. |
