I really enjoyed this one. At first I thought the separate tailpipes were a little sadistic and on the over-complicated side, but they turned out nice! Nicer than if all four to a side were molded as one piece.
Another cool build, Louie. This kit actually dates back to 1978 when it was the Ice Patrol and later the Billy Carter truck. I have several of those. This verson was the Hot Rod Magazine release from the mid 80s.
I found your channel about 2 weeks ago and your videos already gave me tons of techniques and ideas to try on future builds ! I come from the world of millitary modeling where you want to be the most historically accurate as possible, but i recently started to do cars and pickups and i'm having so much fun. Doing a model the way i want to and not how it should be is a such breath of fresh air. I'm looking forward for your future videos - A fellow autistic modeler 🙂
Right on!!! Glad to have you here!! I’m really thrilled you like all my tips and tricks. I really enjoy sharing my talent. Us Autistics have such a wonderful gift of artistry we must share. The point of modeling is to have fun!! Build it your way and enjoy it!! I appreciate your support. Happy Modeling.
Good job as always. Love the stance. I had forgotten that GM still used the straight axle on the front end. The wheel accentuates really makes a difference. ❤
Nice kit review. I have a couple of them. The 2 piece tires are a disappointment, they should be one piece. Beware the front axle assembly is fragile too. I got a kit that had lots of warpage. I was able to get a replacement kit. Thanks for sharing.
I had back luck with this kit back in the day. I ended up buying it twice and both models suffered from the cab being warped/out of shape in the rear, making gluing the back wall difficult
