Anybody else do models? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dieselarmy13 · 06-04-2008, 12:05 AM

Not like that, you pervs. Like plastic. Got this in the mail tonight. It's the eBay pic, I left my cam at my parents last weekend, so I can't take an actual picture of it.

I haven't built a model in years, but I'm pretty stoked about this one. Gonna do it up as close to my truck as possible. Has anybody else built a model of these years? How bout some pics.

Someday I might grow up.

semperfidoordie · 06-04-2008, 12:14 AM

I did models for quite a while in HS haven't done on in a few years now but I'd love to find one in our year of trucks. Can't see the pic you posted probably the damn govvie internet

GRIMSS · 06-04-2008, 12:21 AM

I'm on and off on my models. Never done a 67-72, but I'm working on a resin version of my '56 panel truck

dieselarmy13 · 06-04-2008, 12:42 AM

Wow grimss,looks like you got some time and money in that one. Hey semper, just do a search on fleabay for 1972 GMC. there's usually a few on there. I know they made a chevy version, too. I had one when I was younger, but I'm pretty sure it was a longbox.

chevy72blu · 06-04-2008, 12:49 AM

Im not sure if im willing to pay the 35 bucks... but maybe someday soon =D

That's the one! I had one of those in high school. The one I just bought is pretty much the same kit, just a short step GMC version. Same chassis, motor, ect. I might have to pick one of those up again to cut the box down.

On a side note, look around and be patient. I got a decent deal on mine. Around $20 shipped. I've been waiting for a while.

semperfidoordie · 06-04-2008, 01:00 AM

diesel where'd you get it, Ebay? That's exactly the kind I want just like that I mean of course a 69 would be preferred but that would do too. I used to get pretty into them...all the bolts silver...block hugger orange...would paint the valve covers chrome and headers as well...but lately being married and deploying kind of kills it

dieselarmy13 · 06-04-2008, 01:05 AM

Yeah, got it on the bay. I just checked, and there are a few there. Chevy and GMC both.

Bugsy_malonn · 06-04-2008, 02:29 AM

Yes I kinda build a few models now and then LOL you can see some of them here http://www.bugsysjunkers.com

I build them like show cars/trucks too I do a lot of custom work for people of the project before they got it built

**fine69** · 06-04-2008, 02:55 AM

I have these for sale. Not cheap. But real hard to find. Pm me if interested.

The Californian was designed by Harry Bradley. He designed our 67-72 trucks.

semperfidoordie · 06-04-2008, 02:57 AM

Wow Bugsy that's pretty awesome...checked out the website and the work you do is top notch

70c10 · 06-04-2008, 08:04 AM

I have that same GMC and a 70' long fleet

72BlckButy · 06-04-2008, 08:27 AM

fine69.... what a collection!

**jerry moss** · 06-04-2008, 09:39 AM

sorry i don't have pics of my collection but i have a bunch of 67-72 models between here and my storage unit downtown.

Andy4639 · 06-04-2008, 12:07 PM

I know the title say's Die Cast but models are welcome and there are a bunch listed in this thread.

chevy one · 06-04-2008, 04:07 PM

I have about a dozen still in the box. Saving them for the retirement days and when my body will no longer let me work on the full size versions. Then while I am building them I can dream I am working on the real deal from days gone by

.

blazer72 · 06-04-2008, 09:09 PM

fine69 - that's impressive.

I have done about a dozen of these, and purchased several built ones from ebay to redo. I've started customizing them. I built a dually bed from a fleetside model kit and a stepside model kit. I try to buy at least 2 of each, and leave one closed. I have 5 of the same of fine69's collection.

My next attempt will be a crew cab. I have bought 8 of the latest fleetside kits to use as parts and experiment..

Just take your time and don't use to much glue. paint patiently. I like to make models of the vehicles I've had and will have.

blazer72 · 06-04-2008, 09:13 PM

Holy crap Bugsy, your work is stellar - seriously - top notch. I guess I have a lot to learn.

Wow, I don't know how I passed over this everyday! I think this thread just cost me a few hundred, though! So much stuff I want on there.

shortbed70 · 06-04-2008, 10:01 PM

**special-K** · 06-06-2008, 07:27 PM
