Lets see your model car build replicas of your """Expedition"""

[whitelightning99]

I know this may not be the forum to post on but since iv been joined for awhile now its got my wondering

If there was anyone else on here that loves building models just as much as i do and if anyone has done and """"Expedition """ up to look like there real one.

I love building model cars trucks, As i was young started around the age of 12 and my father got me in to building them.being a car guy love vintage,muscle cars,hot rods you name it.iv done a shit load of them and i have around 30 different cars/truck model. Mainly 1/24 or 1/18 scale that i have built.Some stock like the box showed but most custom one off design.also i have done a few to look just like the real life size car


I figure since my post has to do with Expeditions it might be okay """""""""but if not delete my thread""""""""

I would imagine the model builders in our age group have moved on to the more expensive r/c variety.
I can remember buying the Mattel planes for $.77. Not any more.....

Yep, I'm as old as dirt. Maybe older, the parents said I came in with a bang.

This is the kit i purchase it's already painted same as my real Expy so most of the work is already done. i will be taking the red/blue light off the top and will remove the decals on the sides.i want to add a hood scoop an a hand made light bar that will be mounted to front bumper,also i may or may not cut the running broads off it since my real expy has them off,goona tint the window glass as well. i figured since its going to be cold for awhile this will be a winter project although it shouldn't take long at all to get done.i might even buy a roof visor and custom fit it on.they actually sell a bunch of stuff for these 1/24 and 1/18 scale models so you just got to know what your looking for

Around what year were you looking for ???? Seems like the 1st gen's were most common

[whitelightning99]

Just got it today.Here are a few pics of the progress.i used mothers aluminium polish to remove the decals that were on it.i took the red/blue light off top.I will have to fill in the 2 holes that are left in the roof from the light.more pics to come as soon as i get more stuff done to it

It'd be cool to see the newer style, but I don't think you'll find one any time soon

 

[whitelightning99]

all the parts laid out,only 4 screws holding the body to frame

 

[whitelightning99]

Used JB Weld to fill hole in roof were the police light was attached.still got to touch up those's spots with some white paint.An i painted the windshield wiper sprayers black.Also i painted the rear bumper gold and the hatch knob black

 

[whitelightning99]

Spray painted the inside of the windows flat black, gives it a "tinted glass look"

 

[whitelightning99]

Changed the "all season" stock tires to bigger mud/snow tires,they auctully have BF Goodrich Baja TA on the side wall
