do it up man.
lets get a little side buildoff goin.
i've actually had this model for about a year but between moving a couple times and taking a break from modding,it just sat on a shelf.
do you have the actual A-Team kit?

do you happen to know anything about the van prior to my portion of it?
surg has been busy lately and i didnt want to bug him over an xmod project.

Do you plan on doing anything with the bodylines or the door window frames? Cool project; I can't say I haven't thought of doing this one before, either.
And as far as the COTM....isn't it open class for this month? |
the XMS comp is open.
XMF has two comps running this month.
movie/TV theme COTM and an expert class buildoff(models only).
the body lines are pretty close but you can obviously tell noticable diffrences.
some are going to be changed but in the interest of saving time some are going to have to stay the way they are.
the side door is going to stay hinged instead of tracked but the window trim will be cut off at the visor.
i'm probably going to have to nix the running boards and wheel skirts aswell.
thanks a bunch guys.
updates soon
EDIT FOR UPDATE
not a whole lot of progress since last night but things are starting to come together.
i got started on the lights and got most of them ready for lenses and paint(ones finished but i forgot to take a pic) while the putty was curing on the shell.
the lights are styrene tube,clear plastic,mesh and a couple CLL kits.
they're a little bigger then on the photo above but they had to be to be functional.
so far today, i've got the visor on,started mocking in the headlights and filled the hood in a bit more.
yes, i know it's too big but i havn't shaped it yet.
more to come later.
cheers,
