I wanted to get this thing done for Sunday's Model Contest and well, here it is:
http://images8.fotki.com/v107/photos/9/95430/1333835/tahoe7-vi.jpg
This is AMT's 1996 Chevy Tahoe. Naturally it's a slammer with no undercarriage details. Paint is TS-52 Candy Lime Green, TS-30 Silver Leaf (flames) with half a can of TS-65 Pearl Clear and a can and a half of TS-13 Clear. I wetsanded each clear coat with progressive sanding cloths(3200, 3600, 4000etc..).
The wheels, yes folks, the wheels are out of scale, probably closer to 30 inch rims. These came off of a Jada Denali. The roll pan and front bumper came from the AMT Custom Dually. Decals from various sources and the interior was something I had wanted to try for sometime now. Just some leftover fabric pieces from mega-lowmart. Per someones tutorial on here I cut the seat headrests off and drilled and pinned them for a more realistic look. Probably cannot tell from the photos.
Anyway, I take constructive critiscism and comments!
More photos at the link!

I forgot to mentione the mirrors are drying in the dehydrator, I had to make mirror glass for them.
THanks for the comments.
weaponCIVIC--The biggest wheel I could find were 24's, and they looked too small for what I wanted. I have three sets and none of them looked as good as these wheels.
But, I built it for me and am happy, that's all that matters. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks guys! These comments are what build confidence in a modeler. I really appreciate all the comments. I'll have to take pics with the mirrors on after the show.
This definitely won't be my last.
