"KISS" theme truck
Well I got started yesterday on the cutting and chopping on my truck i've been wanting to do for a very long time.:D
Now I know it isn't very pretty right now, but I wanted to show what I did so far. I extended the windows on the sleeper roof, and i'm planning on following the roof for the shape of the sides where the cab meets the sleeper. Now you all know kiss is definitely different, and I want this truck to be as different. Here we go... http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...4/100_0196.jpg http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...4/100_0195.jpg http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...4/100_0194.jpg The paint job I have planned is very cool and unique...it's a secret for right now, and when it comes time for paint, I will share everything.:D I also have very different ideas for the rock and roll truck. Now to get busy on the styrene work. Thanx for looking, Big John |
Re: "KISS" theme truck
This should be interesting! I can't wait to see what you have planned!

Re: "KISS" theme truck
I'm a big KISS fan. I can't wait to see more. Looks like you have a King Hauler cab with a Knight Hauler sleeper.

Re: "KISS" theme truck
Are you going for a high top Pete with the wind deflector? Or the high top freightliner? Or just a custom non specific truck?
|
Re: "KISS" theme truck
Already I can see the truck is going to be as unique as the band it honors....I may not now what the paint surprise is but I bet I know what the wheels will look like....lol.
Nice work john, Can't wait to see this build progress! |
Re: "KISS" theme truck
I was just wondering about that also....
|
Re: "KISS" theme truck

Re: "KISS" theme truck
what would be cool is seeing all four band members on the truck but you got to put animal on the hood every body likes animal.

Re: "KISS" theme truck
Hey big John, I wasn't sure if you had heard of rcdamper before. There is no website, I found it on eBay. All stuff comes from hong kong. This guy has over 90 various items for tamiya semi trucks alone! The seller name is - Rcdamper
The store name is - Bargain RC&TOYS Store. I stumbled across it by searching tamiya king hauler parts one day on eBay.ca. I'm in Canada and used the .ca site , not sure if that matters. If you still have any trouble, send me your email and I'll send you the direct link to the wheels |
Re: "KISS" theme truck
John, to save you some time and trouble here's what to do......go to eBay, in the search box type tamiya tractor truck, on page 2 of items list ( about 3/4 the way down ) you will see the rears. The word rcdamper and a yellow star are a part of the picture, you won't miss it. The fronts are on page 3 near the bottom.
That should do it! ....while on his page, check out his estore... Lots of cool stuff! Mario |

Re: "KISS" theme truck
Well I can't keep this a secret, this will be the style of the paint. It look's very complex, but it's as simple as 1, 2, 3.
All you do is get a container deep enough for what you are going to paint, fill with water to submurge your body. Then spray 2-3 or 4 colors, swirl, don't blend dip your body, pull it out, and the water will run off, the paint will stick, and presto, the swirl paint job is done. Add whatever details you want, and clear.:D I couldn't help myself.:eek::p:):D:rolleyes: http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...s_van_big1.jpg Thanx for looking, Big John |
Re: "KISS" theme truck
37 year's already! Wow!
Please take picture's when you do the paint job. Cheer's, Neil. |
Re: "KISS" theme truck
I definitley will, I did this method on a few of our son's model cars, and it turned very nice, plus you don't have to worry about runs drips or sags.:eek:

Re: "KISS" theme truck
im assuming your using enamel not acrylic then? then i see what your saying the colors will kinda float on the top of the water..hmmm not a bad little trick i'll wait to see some step by step pics so i get it right!! Sounds pretty cool though... You know those decals would fit that sleeper pretty well ;) just sayin. you could always get the decal sheets and print your own or have them made to like a vynal wrap in the size you want.. Little more pricey but worth it. look at Russ's toy hauler!!!

Re: "KISS" theme truck
Well I got the first layer of bondo on, and it isn't pretty.:p So I figured while it was sitting up, i'd take pic's.

Re: "KISS" theme truck

Re: "KISS" theme truck
That thing is gonna be real beefy and I think it was a great idea to combine a King cab and a Knight sleeper/roof. Quite unique!
