This one is a survivor. I started this one over 12 years ago. It's a survivor because it managed to escape a fire that burn't 3000 models. It got it's paint the same night as the last few

This one started as a Monster Dodge, I don't sport someone else's build so when I first got the monster I disassembled it. After washing the decals & changing the suspension I had a nice truck that I could sit around & give me that ump to get off my butt & paint a bunch of them. The pics show what I call Monster Transformation

I'm doing a slingshot dragster look also with this so I figured that this first gen Hemi was the way to go

Here's the stance that I'm shooting for, the front tires & wheels may change

The rear suspension is chrome 4 bar with air bags in all this my accent color was going to be red when I started but changed to Hemi orange after sitting & staring at it saying "everyone is doing flat black & red"

Bought damn time! How's the crew cab treating you? Where the hell are all the pics of the models you've been working on?

Go look at the main area "Hobbies" I got one already posted for everyone to see.... worked on that model a LONG time as it was all busted up when I got it and is now a collectors item! AS I have the box too as well!

I was checking that out earlier. You just can't build a model "box stock", can you? Lol, not that I mind at all!
 
Hell NO I can't!!!! LOL Its not in my blood to build "Box Stock".....
It's more my style as I'm too impatient to do all that stuff. However do appreciate it and try to do a little so my models aren't cheap looking piles of crap, but I don't do anywhere close to what you do as "basic" build. Plus I'd want to play with the damn things if they had that much detail.
 
-Well it is all "play" right? LOL I enjoy the detailing aspect of the builds to see just how far I can go..... I think I'm at the limit right now, I don't see me going further without the damn things actually "firing" under details I add LOL

BUT little to those know, I often build for contests too, so I try to build EVERY model I build to my own "standard" in detail work for having anything to choose from to put into a contest....
 
The guys who do NASCAR models are known for going over the top and using all kinds of things to make all the bits and pieces for super detailing. Just plain nuts how realistic some of those models are.
 
Ohhh yeah, your not kidding! I know a few of those guys too... I keep right up with them! The only difference is, MY bodies have lines, theres don't! LOL Normally MY cars are stock height, or raised (pick ups) theres are ALL lowered!
 
The L700 transporters are coming along

The side doors are opened to each other so each truck can be parked alongside each other
