Post up some photos of your (or someone elses) custom diecast/model builds. Any scale, any style!

Ill start with a couple of mine. Ive got lots to share if interested!





 
Glad you posted up here. I don't personally have/make any but I browse the thread when ya'll post elsewhere lol
 
I need to find a fleetside rcsb obs model, really want 4wd but 2 would work and just get a different truck model for drive train. I have a Camaro I need to finish, been in progress for a couple years now, have C6 exhaust and bbs wheels with a fat lip for all for it. Might scab my C6 Z06 I built for the engine, brakes and seats.
 
Here's mine



Then my kid broke it not long after so I started putting bigger wheels on it and never finished

Damn I've had dozens over the years. Used to build 1:18 scale trailers, welding beds, campers, etc. Here's most of what I have left..

Pretty cool little trucks. There's a guy on Facebook that can make an exact model of your truck for you. Been thinking about it, but damn they kinda pricey.

I've built a few, mostly I bought 1:18th scale and modified them before I started playing with real cars. I've got a whole bunch, I'll havta post up when I get a chance later
 
I used to be pretty big in building 1/64th model trucks, I mostly collect nowadays since its been a year or two since I did the last ones I made. These are Die Cast Promotions trucks. I would tear them down, re paint them, lower them, and made a lot of my own parts such as stacks, bumpers, fenders, etc.

This is a 1/64th combine I did. A lot of Dremmel work and hand made parts went into this thing...

Always been a big fan of model cars but especially 1/64 Hot Wheels and Matchbox and such. Have thousands and thousands sitting around in the attic. Just now starting to get into the customization aspect, but I always loved looking for treasure hunts at Walmart and such! This thread is going to be great!

Who is it? Would love to have a model of my truck...
 
i used to build some models with my dad when i was younger, i had a bunch but a lot are all falling apart now, i got back into it a few years ago with dad when i was home and working less. i think the last time i was working on one was between junior and senior year of college. all my stuff is packed up now, i've moved away and i don't have time to work on them anymore unfortunately. i'd love to get back into them but maybe later this year when I'm not working 10 hours aday with 2 hours of driving. i'll have to see if my dad will grab some pictures of the stuff i've built.

love your guys work, post more i love see it.
 
Where do you get the trucks to start with? And accessories? I would like to make one myself
 
Various. A few Ertl trucks, Johnny Lightning, Hot Wheels, Dub City ect. Parts off of various as well. The lifted trucks are a Johnny Lightning and an Ertl truck body. Both lifts and tires are from a High Profile by Jada Toys.

I have another red Ram 1500 thats about to get some "billets" with a large lip.
