Thank you pumptech. I was thinking about maybe cutting the doors and possibly detailing the interior to the extreme. After all if i'm gonna do it, might as well go all the way.

Take a look at this, scale is out, but seriously detailed:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/F-toys-1-8-S...ht_1490wt_1270

Actually, forget that, check these guys out!!!!!

http://en.indus3d.com/index.shtml

They custom make mini guitars, drums and pretty much any instrument. They could make you all the actual KISS instruments and in 1:14.5 scale too! How's that stage trailer gonna look now?

SWAGGER, you da' man. I would love to have Gene's ax bass and Paul's mirror guitar, man you've got me stoked. If I can pull this off, this will definitely be one of a kind.

Thanx buddy, Big John

Bad influence, I don't think so. I did check out the website, and they do make an ax bass. And total cost, I figured up what I have in my "SLUMLORD" so far, and I just about fell out of my seat. I don't think i'll have as much in this...at least I hope not, 'cause the misses might make me sleep outside with our kitty's. LOL!!!

Well boy's and girl's, I decided to cut the doors on this "Larger Than Life" beast. Can we say suicide??? As you can see, I have to clean up everything, and see where I stand on the fit...just to tired at the moment, so prolly tomorrow.





And I started working on the interior by making a floor...look's like some more styrene work ahead, but I love it.



Thanx for looking, Big John

Hy John,

as I read your announcement for the "Kiss Theme Truck" I was really very interested how you will work it out.

Now I have to say: I like wich I see here - great work on the dashboard, the steering wheel and on the wipers - I like the way you are going on.
