Awesome! What color where you trying to get from Nissan? Maybe we could help you find something similar. Tamiya probably has something really close. Only thing is you'll end up paying for it too. Lots of surface to cover there!

Been watching this on a forum or 2. Very nice build. Its like a Orange County Chopper built. Put it all together and then break it down for paint. Should be sweet when is done. Any palns for lighting?

I called to two nissan dealers and a few detailers. It called volcanic orange. It is off of the 2005 years of nissan but i just remember that cheverlet has something like it. Yes i am dreading having to buy the paint necessary to cover this. It took me around 8 can of primer and i might need one more ouch.

Very impressive build so far. Enjoy the styrene work. I do have 1 concern about your paint. Using a dark primer under orange paint will either cause you to use lots of orange paint to get it the right shade or you will not like the end results with only 2 or 3 coats. I had a paint manufacturer tell me to under coat or prime yellow, red, and orange with a white primer to get a truer/brighter final color. I have switched to using white primer for about all colors except browns and black. It really does make a difference. I am not knocking your build just trying to help a fellow mini-trucker get the truck he has envisioned in his mind become a reality.

Beautiful, talented work. One question, did you give that little girl her doll house hinges back? Only having some fun!

You are a true styrene artist.

It will be rolling down the highway someday.

Things have been kind of slow lately but i did make some progress on my cab interior.

This is the back of the cab and i need to hide the brass brackets so i made some boxes to go over them i am going to make into speakers.





Here is a coule of early shots of the dash and custom steering wheel i am attempting to make from scratch.





Here is a shot of the door which i am very happy with. If you can see through all of the scrible marks i am trying to make the 3d flames again and other detail stand out.

All i can say is WOW!!!! I love those fenders!!! Your eye for detail is top notch! I wish i could cut the styrene as percisely as you do... Ive tried making flames before and i ended up scratching that idea... Wasnt pretty. Cant wait to see this truck all finished up.
