Models of your rigs ?
5 Attachment(s)
I have a friend that is an avid model builder. I helped him with a engine install and to show his gratitude ( not needed ) hebuilt a replica of my 72 2wd highlander. I had to share it with the world, check it out. And if you have one of your rig please post, I think there cool. The only change from mine is the model is the correct color, the original k5 was painted forest green. I plan on having it painted back to original.

Congratulate your friend on a job well done. I've been building models all my life and appreciate the patience and attention to detail that goes into it. That is a sweet ride, both the model and the full size one!

Thank you and have a great holiday season. You have to give it to people who build models, the patience it takes, the skill. I bet for some it's relaxing, for me I would be stressed the whole time

I have a model of a K/5 that I've never put together. I want to figure out how to paint it to match my Blazer (dark yellow).

There is a site call (touchupdirect) that has stock colors in a spray can.

I never had a problem. I also know online they have sites just for models and they have matching paint. My friend got med olive poly for my k5.

Here's one I've been working on. All 3D printed and will be a working model.
It's 1/8 scale. |

I like it, it has an aggressive look to it and fun at the same time.

The reissue AMT GMC Jimmy kit is widely available, even at some Walmarts. I built a copy of my 1970 from an original AMT Crew Chief kit about 30 years ago. I sourced the 1970 grille and bumper from another kit I had laying around.
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/...70_FMwebp_.jpg You can combine it with this kit to make a Blazer. Again, even some Walmarts carry this one: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/apoAA...5Bn/s-l960.jpg |
