Scratch building an 85 K5 RC

[jeffro2]

The last one I scratch built was my 72 Chevy 4x4 Pickup. Its a little bigger scale then my other RC trucks, its about 9th scale, or somewhere between 9th and 10th scale.

This one,




So I decided I wanted a Blazer in the same scale, so I would have one to run with the other and still look normal, instead of a giant compared to the others.

I did a rough drawing of what I wanted.



Its about 18 inches long



I transferred the drawing to a sheet of styrene and cut it out.



I made a grille, the one above is an original Tamiya Clod Buster grille in 10 scale.

















And this is where I am at.










Any thoughts, anyone, Am I headed in the right direction ?
