toyota 4x4

Hey guys, my new wip is the lifted toyota from bluefin. This will almost be straight from the box except for a few additions. Here is the model. This is the first curbside model I have worked on. I wish it came with an engine.

I've put together the front suspension and detailed/weathered it as i went.

More progress soon and comments are welcome.

great progress, should be a nice build, the tires in that kit have killer detail.

I got the shocks and drive shaft placed on the front suspension. Here are some better pics than the previous ones.

WOW! that looks really good. the wear and tear plus being dirty really make it quite realistic.

Weathering looks very realistic. Waiting to see the rest :popcorn:

I finished the rear suspension and the chassis.

The body will be getting some dirt as soon as I build the bed and such.

Bed is finished and added to the chasis. Tail lights have yet to be added and I am working on a roll bar as well.

Bumper is waiting to be painted and will be finished up tomorrow. I will also be adding a small grill guard once bumper is added.
