Default GMC Pickup truck build

Hi micro friends,

After seeing lots of cool micro rigs from other I thought "I want one too".
My intention was to build a Jeep Wrangler with a Tamiya 1/24 kit but the came across a new release Revell 1/24 GMC truck, it wider and longer then the Jeep makes it looks nicer on my Crawler X chassis.
It's a cool kit but it's made out of thin cheap plastic in compare with Tamiya kit.


So this is how I want it to look like.


Progress so far.

Great start

Needs smaller wheels and tires.

Plans to put the plow on there too? Functional?

Keep us updated.... We all love build pics

Thanks TXH, nah no plow on front, it's to high! As for the wheels I agree but can find one yet.

You could use kit wheels and Pauls urethane tires from Ebay, Though I kind of like the mall crawler look with those wheels

The plow would look great on that, even if it is too high! just for looks
