So i was in my LHS today, i went there looking for the recently reissued Revell Thunderbird S/C. Not finding it, i was tied between 3 models. Revell SVT Focus (yes, they had it..), Revell Escalade (Yes, too..) or the Jeep. I got the Tamiya. Still needs to be clear coated etc.

Sweet, I like how the suspension actually functions, although...there is not enough mud! :evillol:

NICE work.. im jelous... no one like my jeep... people likes urs... great piece.. nice dirt realism...

Instead of painting the mud, try mixing some fine sand, brown paint and white glue in that order and then scoop it onto the areas. It gives a better texture and looks cool. Heres 2 from my demo cars.

Nice work Mike. Great work on another truck.

aye, does the kit's suspension actually work? or is this some custom work?

nope. it actually works. Tamiya includes metal pins, and coils.

Nice dirty car. :)

This is one hell of a great mud machine :ylsuper:

Not exactly what i had in mind..:lol:

I got some out door pictures. I also did the realistic mud effect, by creating a mixture of sand, water, brown paint, and Elmers glue.

Like any good SUV, it has a little bit of "ICE". I placed a pair of subwoofers in the front door panels, installed a 12" Amp in the front underneath the dash. Out back it has an 18" Amp. Oh yeah, and the LTD. Wood trim...

Very cool looks a lot better in nature, but aren't those wheels to clean compared to the body?

Those really do look real. Nice work Mike.
