'84 GMC - TRX

Post by nazcom83 »

This is what I have been working on the last few days... my new truck project...

I was really lucky, to be able to find a AMT/Ertl 1/25 '84 GMC Pickup, on ebay UK, and even more so that I was able to get it... lol...

The below photos of the truck are with the body not yet mounted, and I also have work to finish on the body i.e. roll bar frame, paint work etc...

As you can see in the below photo, I removed the stock truck bed and replaced it with a new chrome effect diamond plate one, made from plastic... which I got from a Italeri 1/24 Truck Accessories model pack...

I have only just started work on the chassis, I took the plastic model chassis and hacked it up, to get the xmods chassis to the length I need it to be... also I have never seen this done before so I though I would try it...

I will update again, once I have so more done...
