Those wheels on that thing look creepy-real.

I'm gonna have to take some shots of mine this weekend.

[shortbed70]

The orange one is almost complete it started out to be a longbed and Mad it a shortbed and the other is a 65 I'm building for my wifes truck since thats what we have or what it will be when done. I still have to completely wire the engine and compartments and finish detail the Orange 72.

[shortbed70]

Heres an update on my two I'm working on. The white ones engine is almost complete just have to add wires and fuel lines then its on to the out side. The oange one I just cut so it lays low like a prostreet.

They came from a japanese company. American Satco. I don't think they are available at the moment though...

I especially like that dirty Blazer. Put it on a dirt pile like the first truck pictured and you'd swear it was a picture of real truck.

I posted this on the 73-87 message board but maybe I should have posted it here?
I am trying to get rid of a collection of models I accumulated starting in the late 80's and stopped the addiction in the early 90's. Most of these kits still have plastic.
I think there is one or two that have been sold that I forgot to remove.
If anyone's interested I would sell for $5 each, prefer at least two at a time. Might make better deal if someone wanted a "lot" of them.
Pictures here

[fastwillie 696969]

[Tex_50613]

I've posted pics elswheres but here's a few of my favorite builds, some are 1:25 model bodied RC's and some are just models

[NenjaBen]

Modeled as a kid, figured I'd build one as sort of a rendering for my 71 1/2ton project...

Here are some of mine...they are dusty!

[manimal]

and this one was built to replicate my Dad's racecar...

[dieseldawg142]

^^ nice job on the replica nova manimal! also like your monza flopper

built about 150 cars & trucks when i was a kid, but they all exploded, burnt up by the time i was 15. started building them again bout 20 yrs ago. some old ones need to be re-done, & yeah, mine are dusty too.

the red stepper is a replica of my daily

like my cars old skool, blower or ram, no hood, big n littles & jacked in the back

i swiped some monster tires from one of my sons toys & built the 55 nomad truck between the monster trucks

the nomad truck started life out as a 55 nomad wagon, like the dropped yellow one

[dieseldawg142]

a few more
the blazer is a replica of my old K5. it's a little bit of work, but you CAN get those backwards hogs mounted the right way

the van was the vantasy 2wd that i converted to 4wd (37" hummer tires)

since i'm a roofer, had to make a tar pot (scratch built)

the beat up 57 was modeled after my neighbors beast. i spread real engine grime from my truck on it, & like a real car, it drips!

the ONLY model my wife built, the purple/pink nova

[dieseldawg142]

some more
dream trailer-70 442 W30, LS6 chevelle, 427 impala, 396 ss camaro & LS5 monte

a glue bomb save from my 7yr old nephew

also had about 200 planes when i was a kid, due to the nature of combat, they were the first to go. slowly rebuilding the force

[dieseldawg142]

just a couple more
57 283 fuelie

built this the day after the Intimidator died

the crew is a replica of my current toy. i need to mount some sidesteps i just made for it, but i REALLY need a set of fender flares to make it accurate

P-38 hanging in my shop, wingspan on this sucker is like 30 + inches

[dieseldawg142]

something different. an old lady's husband died & she came into the wife's office for death benefits. turned out he had about 100 old (60's, 70's) sailing ships un opened & unbuilt. she was going to sell them to pay for a headstone. my wife found where she could get more money & not sell his models. she was so happy she came back the next day & gave my wife a 1974 model sailing ship frigate USS United States.
it's taken me a year to get most of the hull done. there's 5 decks & it's a slow go. if the old lady is still alive when i get it done, i plan on giving it back to her. she complained about the space they took up & how he never built one

[manimal]

Thanks dieseldawg! You've got a lot of nice ones yourself! I need to get back into it again.
