97' to 07' Ford F150 "Conversion"!

[white_R34]

Ok what I'm goint to build for you all, will be a 2007 Ford F150 FX4. I will use two kits to pull off this "transformation".
Here's the two kit that I will use. Now I like to jump around when I build, so if any one get's lost let me know.


Ok here's photos of the real truck that I have to build.




So let's start with those Rock Star DX wheels.




Seeing that back to back postings are "Frowned upon in this Establishment"! You and I will have to wate till some one posts., to see more of my starting work.

Who says back to back postings are frowned upon? Anyway, I've been waiting for someone to update an old truck. Pity they don't just make the new ones; they're cool and even if we're into race cars we all still need tow vehicles!

There is a 1:24 extended cab 07-ish diecast but long bed. Don't let the shitty detail paint applique fool you, the body is very decent. I'm making mine into a border patrol truck.

So were did you get that die cast kit? An thanks "Will" It's good to see your still around, it's bean a long time since BatonRouge., You still have that sweet civic?
Ok here some more work, oh and "BTW" the folks I'm building this one for have moved to due date up. SO I have to get a move on on this project.
Oh and if it was not for thei forum I whould have never learned how to scratchbuild wheels. So thanks "AF"!

This is the first layer of the outer wheel. This will be a 20" Rock Star DX Chrom wheel.


Here I started to remove these sections.




This is the secend layer or iner lip of this wheel.








Next I'm going to scratch build the tires.


next the inner tred!

[MidMazar]

Wow the wheel looks awesome, especially the tire!!!

[white_R34]

Thank's MidMazar here's some more progress...
The finished road tred!


The Lime Green dot's ate the things I added and the red dots are the things I'm leaving off.




Now for the tside tred wall.


The rings were hard to cut out., here's the front and the rear.




Body work next....

[MidMazar]

I think you should resin cast those wheels and tires. Looking good.

[blubaja]

Wheels are looking awsome!! I didn't post where, because I couldn't remember. It might have been on the professional bull riding website itself. But I didn't see it on there. Maybe ebay? I'm sorry dude:/

[white_R34]

Well "Blubaja" I had to as I don't feel like building four more wheels and tires.




I tried an experiment of mixing in black pigment. So I have made a black resin tire. I Must tell you it's really hard to do with quick set resin. So if any of you try this do it with slow drying resin.






Ok the body work has started:

[white_R34]

I hope I don't get kicked off, by posting this post so close to the one I posted on the 13th.

[white_R34]

I jumped on to the chassis and rebuilt it.
