"KISS" theme truck

[Autocar]

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.

Autocar, I had the same idea. I forgot to mention, i'm having a matching trailer. I think I can free hand the faces on the trailer because i'm replacing the sides with styrene for a smooth look. I use to draw all the band members faces as a kid...aaah, the good ol' days.
Now i'm kinda, what do you mean by "animal"? Gene???

I got one side of the styrene roughly put in. Tomorrow I will do the other side, dremel to a rough shape, and then start the bondo work. I will post more pic's.



Thanx for looking and feedback, Big John

I hear you buddy. The critics said kiss wouldn't last more than a year, and here it is I believe 37 years later...hmmm lol.

I doubt it for two reasons...Gene isn't poseable and the windows probably be blacked out...we'll see.

Well I finally got 75 degree weather, and shot a coat of primer on this big body...boy is it heavy.









I need to get more sandpaper and bondo to continue...I have some bondo, and I may go ahead and see how much of imperfections I can cover.

Thanx for looking, Big John

John, this may sound a bit mental, but what if you got a second model Gene, so you can keep one as is and use the other to make him fit the truck. You could carefully cut him at the hips and knees etc, re-set them with glue or expoxy, use a little bondo to fill any gaps if necessary, sand and touch up with black paint. If you are able to build a complex cab, you are definitely able to do that and you would not see much of it anyway, but this truck would be SO well finished off to actually have Gene behind the wheel.

Worth considering!

SWAGGER you're making my brain hurt lol. But that is worth considering though. Our local walgreen carried a few things from kiss like notebooks christmas tree ornaments. Now you got my wheels turning. I think I may try to get another Gene and two of Paul, Paul as a passenger...who knows. There are so many things that could be done to this project, it seem's it may never end. BTW, my wife thinks i've lost my mind.

Thanx buddy, Big John

John,

You've done a ton of styrene work on that cab! It loks awesome man, very good job! Man I tell you, styrene work is the most time consuming part of a build imo.

I'm watching this build, can't wait to see your paint scheme for this one.

No worries Big John! It would be cool to have Kiss members in the cab alright but I am sure whatever you do will be first class.
