here're a couple of my diecasts.The 69 is my favorite,a top notch model.

Guys, these are AWESOME! Where do you get a 1972 Cheyenne model??

Here's a few more...

Chuck

That's a Highway 61 model Billla.Same company as the one I have.It's a bit more expensive but well worth the extra cash IMO.
EDIT the cheyenne comes in ocre/white.

if you guys EVER want to sell the 67-72 chevy model hit me up at smelan656@cs.com and ill prob. buy them from ya. i have WAYYY to many of them but they are my favorite model of all time
(i have 2 #1 models 1. 69 nove "OLD PRO", 2. 67-72 chevy pickups)
all look great.

Chuck,I have model envy.You have the nicest real-world (well,real model-world) models.Tell us about that Longhorn.

So all these are die-cast right? I like the plastic kits that you have to build and paint yourself. Haven't been able to locate any of these trucks though.

Thanks, Rollie - found 'em online and the order's in!

I think i started something very kool...Here..Keep them pics coming..great models...Erick

HOTROD71- its about 50-50 from what i can see. they make these trucks in a LONG BED style in the model world but i dont like long beds that much so i modified mine. :metal: wish the camera took clearer shots close up cause this truck has rust holes,dents and all. :lol: and even though you cant see them very well those are real scale SUPER SWAMPER TIRES :bling2:
bisquick - there is another thread already out there about this same thing but i cant find it. it had all my pics on that one. and alot of other good pics.

Heres a couple of mine.

Guys, where are you finding these models? I would like to find a 67-68 and maybe a short stepside model. I have looked locally and have never found any of these. I would like to have a plastic one.

Love your creativity Lance. That is really sweeeeet. Good job. I used to have some links to some Killer plastic scale model sites. I will try and find them and post up.

Chuck,I have model envy.You have the nicest real-world (well,real model-world) models.Tell us about that Longhorn.

It started out as a stock longbed AMT kit. After it sitting on my desk for a few months I got the crazy idea to do a Longhorn. I used a spare bed and frame to stretch it 1/2 of an inch which is right at 6 inches in 1/25th scale...

The only way you can find a 67-68 or a step side is on Ebay. AMT has a 72 long fleet out right now and in another month or two they will be offering a 72 Blazer...

Here's a few more...

Chuck

Here's one of my Rat Rods and a poor General Lee...


Chuck

SHORTBED70 - where did you get the cowl hood ?
72CUSTOM CAMPER - love the big ol RV, where did ya pick that thing up at ? also i got ya beat on the mud, mines real lol i was doing a diarama of a jeep pulling my 72 out of the mud pit so i went outside the house and covered both in real mud. lol

That motorhome model almost made me quit building. It is 98% scratch built with over 300 hrs in it...


Chuck

Is that ribbons from scale modeler compitions????? Those look really good.

Here is some of mine. I have a few models to build whenever I find the time to get at them again. Most of my stuff right now is the diecast and Hot Wheels. Here is a few I have on the computer.

Here is a couple of the GM ones waiting construction

WOW very cool

That blue`n`white AMT Gheyenne kit bugs me.Why couldn`t they have gotten the color right?And,I wish they still came with whitewalls?

Wow, those are some great models. I'll take a pic of my three modified WIX blazers when I get a chance, but they don't rate compared to these.

That blue`n`white AMT Gheyenne kit bugs me.Why couldn`t they have gotten the color right?And,I wish they still came with whitewalls?

You can order up some whitewalls for about any scale you want. Heck you can get actual BILLET wheels for em.

Very nice collection there you guys. Wish i had the same thing.

PALF70STEP - i have the blue one like you have in your first pic but where did you get the YELLOW and BLACK ONES ????
everybody's stuff looks great. :metal:

I can't remember where the cowl piece came from but it was off of a model I had years ago and I just happen to have it in a box of spare parts. I believe it came off of a chavelle drag car os something. I am also in the market for a blazer and 68 truck. I would also like to find an early 70s model truck. The copper model was the blue and white amt model but I made it a short bed. It still needs work like wiring the motor and some other things.

Thanks. Yeah I've entered a few shows. LOL


Chuck

Hey special-K,here's an in progress shot of the Longhorn...

Here's what my workbench usually looks like. Also a shot of another table that's full...

Chuck

Here's a group shot of just 72's...

Not yet, need to find another long step first...

72 custom camper where did you get the rollback model at? I see plans for a 69 rollback to match my truck...lol

That was a long project that I did a few years ago. Everything behind the cab was scratch built from memory. The bed tilts and slides too. I can take a few more pics if you want...

I love that 71 or 72 blue/white k-10, where can a guy get a kit like that one, what brand was it?

Jeff

Bill,
Where did you pick up the '60-'63 'burb? :)
Is it made by Dubs?
TIA,
David

If you mean the red/silver one, it is a 57 burb, and yes it is a dubs one I picked up at Walmart.

Hey Jeff, that model I built with parts from 5 different truck models. The cab and bed was from an AMT 72 chevy, the frame was made from 3 AMT 55 chevy trucks and the wheels,engine,t-case and axels are from an AMT 83 GMC...


Chuck

My one and only... One of those rides mag models...

Looking good guys I ll have to get sopme pics up of my collection..

72 custom camper where did you get the rollback model at? I see plans for a 69 rollback to match my truck...lol

You`ll have to find an RV like he has,too.Or is that scratch-built?Didn`t look back.Anyway,do it!

What a shame to tear into those rustfree`55s.

Yeah the motor home is 90% scratch built. I have almost 300 hrs in building that thing. I also have a scratch built Bobcat. I need a gilrfriend, or at least a life...LOL

Chuck

I need a gilrfriend

Chuck

You got some skills, maybe you could build one:lol:


(I'm totally messin with ya, please don't hurt me:( )

I've tried, but I never could get the heart to work right... LOL


Chuck

Here's a few pics of my scratch built bobcat...


Chuck

man those are amazing! i haven't built models in years but my son have been into it for about a year now. He just built a '75 chevy stepside he wants the real thing now.

Here's the new Ertl copper/orange '67 stepside i just got in the mail today, and the other '68 Johnny Lightning i have, with one of the sets of GMP billets(actually plastic) I plan on putting on a couple of my trucks:)

Man the bobcat is sweet. You definately got some skill at handcrafting. Keep it up.

These are all great...I have a few more as well..

Here is a wrecker i bought for the 4x4 susp of the blazer on the trailer in the 1st post on this thread

Nice to see so many other model builders out there. I was starting to think that the dicast and pre painted stuff was killing the plastic kit market...


Chuck

Let`s vote......Chuck wins!!

Thanks. I usually just build as a hobby. It took me alot of years and many many kits to get to where I'm at.Half the time I think something I build looks like crap when everybody else loves it. I guess it's like they say "You're your own worst critic"...


Chuck

I want to build a`72 4wd promo to add to my authentic promo collection.So,it has to look stock.The easy part is,once I match original paint,all I have to do is paint everything one color,:).That used to burn my butt when I built models as a kid when other kids didn`t even paint anything,WTF?I guess it still gets me goin`!ARGG!!!

You're supposed to paint em??? I thought they was molded "in color"









;)

Hey special-K, there is a model show coming in up a few months not far from you. It's in Towson right off the the Balt. beltway... I think I'm going to go to it this year...


Chuck

Cool!Do you have any info?I`ve never been to such a thing.I`d like to see that.

I have a 69 blazer dealer promo...hehehehhe its been packed away for years.

I have a good 60 or so kits still in the boxes. I am pretty sure that I don't have even one Chevy truck.

Where did you order these from. I did a search in google , but I could only find a Place over Seas to buy from. Trying to save money on Shipping:lol:

I just got mine from this guy on ebay, expensive, yes, but I couldn't find one in a store anywhere. Don't know where the rims came from, I'd like to know too:) This guy is a good seller, 100% feedback, got my truck within a week, and it was very well packaged.
