Thank you, vey much.
Yes, I use the Tamiya Clod Buster as a base for my Blazers and Chevy Crewcabs..The Van is actually the grill and front fenders from the clod also.
I don't mind showing pics of details of builds, as long as know one else cares. I am in the middle of a build now, would you like me to show the build thread in this "scale" part of the forum ??
Please excuse the Ford, but this is my Blackfoot.
This is the chassis for the 75 Blazer I'm building. Its not exact, but more of, what I need to make everything else work, shocks, axles, leaf springs, etc..
This is what I pick up on ebay..only problem is, they are 30 plus years old, and collectible, so its hard to chop them up sometimes..
and this is another homamde frame
These, I bought from RC4WD, but I usually use Tamiya'a highlift ot TLT axles..(Tamiya axles are a little less expensive)
And before I forget, I use sheets of styrene plastic to build my bodies. There was a gentleman in Coloado who just did some resin casting of a 41 Dodge, but it seems to be a little expensive and too much work for me...
This was the 64 Crewcab in the beginning, (and, I cannot find the thread over here, of the 64 I used as a basis for this build)
This is the interior of the LUV
I have tons more pictures of stuff on my Flickr accnt if anyone is interested.
EDIT = Just have to show you guys...this thing is fun, My 8x8
And for size comparison
