flt-blk truck in Miniature, Model by K&R

[flt-blk]

I was stunned last night when Kustoms and Rockets and the rest of
my car club presented me with an exact duplicate of my little truck.
Every little detail has been recreated in intimate detail, it is absolutely
amazing.
Thanks to all THEM-Texas

[flt-blk]

Trophy whore and now people are making models of your truck?

You are my new hero, Sorry Root and JimC.

K &amp; R, you are a model building GOD!

Congrats Tyler, your truck looks awesome.

[fab32]

Art takes on many forms, this is one of them. That is truly one awesome model and scaled after one unique truck. One of my favorites.

Congrats on your gift, and K&amp;R, congrats on a job well done.

[roadstar]

THats awsome Tyler. I know how that feels too.
A few years ago I built a 40 Coupe and the guys in my club made a model of it for me.

Now all ya need is the Hotwheels guys to do one and you'll have the whole set http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Bass]

Wow...that is pretty dang impressive!

Nice work K&amp;R.

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">Holy SHIT!!!

Excuse me, it's not pink, it's Magenta or Fuscia?

Can't remember.

It rocks!

[hudson_hawk]

I agree, riding in the truck while following markx at 100mph last night to the restaraunt was awesome!! you could not wipe the smile off my face. Flt-Blk, you don't mind if i ride with you all the time do you? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I also got the honor of keeping the model safe and secure in my lap on the way back to the shop.

[BLAKE]

That is absolutely amazing...

[Lefty]

AWESOME!

Without a doubt the most awesome set of model building skills ever exhibited.

Whats next? The Skratch shop truck or Kartbreakers ride?

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">Do Kartbreaker's!!!

Hell, it would be easy, you don't even have to put it together!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks great. But one deTAIL is missing. Can you guess what it is?

[krupanut]

That's funny Joe; the first thing I looked for in the pics of the model was the lizard!

K-n-R you are a truly amazing modeler!

[Bass]

I know, I know....I just hope "The Masher" knows!

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

...back to the kick ass model!

[flt-blk]

I have some Tan RTV, I bet the stuff that squishes out when
you put the cap back on is the right shape.

Plan B is to snip a toe off the real Liz and glue it on,
that way it's authentic.

TZ

[Smokin Joe]

I didn't notice at first because it's such a great model. But the Dash Duck missed his buddy right away! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Anderson]

Yeah, I couldn't come up with a way to make the lizards tail. It was a toss up between doing that, or the knight's head, and the knight won.

[Holidazed]

Tyler that model is the coolest! K n R that is just amazing...way to go! By the way, isn't that special valley pan color called " <font color="pink"> </font> pima red <font color="black"> </font> "? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

[Bass]

I think it's supposed to be "Radiance Magenta"...

but I prefer to call it Titty Pink.

When you put it that way......

Nothing worse than being MashedRash.

RASHY

He said titty pink. </font>

[Byron Crump]

To me it would not have been his truck with out the pink and the knight head!

Now, lets make slot cars out of models and have a flt blk (tiny blk) vs. Big Ric (little ric) race!

[Evel]

Damm dude!!! Your Nuts!!!

You should make a Living at this...Custom models of you hot rod
dude I know people would love to have exact replicas of there car...

Any way Fucking Outstanding!!! even the THEM plaq ..Wow!

evel

[Smokin Joe]

That interior is amazing. How'd you do the mexican blanket?
And where'd you find a 1 RCH mack brush &amp; ".001 shot" paint to stripe the air cleaner? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Reggie]

K&amp;R...Awesome man! Toatally Awesome!

[AHotRod]

Your one lucky bastard http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MarkX]

That model is INSANE!!!...i was sitting next to Tyler at the resraurant after we gave it to him and the whole time hes handling it and looking at it I was so nervous that it was gonna fall. I was crowched ready to dive for it!

I told Eric he needs to make a 1/25 scale Continental Club and park all his models there and have a Mini-RoundUp

[haring]

Awesome.

[BIG RIC]

Amazing!!!....K&amp;R, with your skills, i can't wait to see something you build in full scale!

[Deyomatic]

Radiant Magenta is the color on that valley pan.

I'm glad Tyler has it now, Old Car Pilot emailed me some pics of it about a month ago and I think it is the longest secret I've ever been able to keep!

[ABone312]

That's fucking awesome! Top notch craftmanship KnR, congradulations FLT-BLK.

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">Page two for this kind of ability/

I don't think so!

[Elrusto]

That buff n' stuff MANG!!!

[REVEREND JAKE]

That thang is so Phat Black. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif It's nice to see such craftsmanship in models. I wish I had a model of my shit, but it would just be open boxes strung all over the garage not put together.

Tyler, you goin to McPhail's?

Great job K&amp;R

Reverend Jake

[hotrod54chevy]

all i can say is that is REALLY sweet!good job!
Creepy

[Anderson]

Thanks yall. Building these things is cool but building something like this and seeing the new owner get it is better. It turned out a bit better than I thought it would, there are still a few discrepencies (lizard, grill shell pinstriping, grill shell a bit too low, no text on the ammo box) but it'll have to do!

The door panels and seat are just printed from my computer. Double stick tape (and a lot of other tape plus some glue...) keep the seat "cover" on.

The pinstriping on the air cleaner is a decal I made (i WISH my hand was that steady), but I did the dash striping by hand.

[bufordtjustice]

Awesome job, that is incredible.

[Alfster]

<font color="red">Way too cool. Neat model of a neat truck.

Oh, and thanks for the HAMBOGRAM. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif </font>

[Thirdyfivepickup]

I always end up gluing my fingers together... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Absolutely awesome! (I looked for the lizard too) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

What did you use for the fuel lines and plug wires???

[Anderson]

Very thin wire, glued in place then painted (not painted from the fuel pump to the fuel block though)
