Hi y'all... I am normally an Armor builder but I thought i'd give a car model (or truck in this case) a fair shot... I am building a jacked up Ford F-250 from the Monogram kit. I found a wonderful set of mud tires in a military toy set at the dollar store last week. The toys were junk but the wheel and tire combo had exceptional molding and detail.
With the exception of the rear shocks I have the suspension buttoned up. In these photos the rear axle is just sitting there (not glued on) and the front tires are likewise just pressed on. I will square everything up when it's time to glue them on. I am planning a full custom bumper and skid plate which will help to hide the somewhat lack-luster front suspension.
I have to say, you car guys don't have much to work with. With a few exceptions the run of the mill car kit utilizes 30-40 year old mold technology, even in the new kits... We Armor and A/C folk are spoiled for sure.
Anyway, here are the pictures so far...
