It's excellent Jason! Keep up the good work man!
Haha, thanks Tom. Those decals aren't that bad since the kit was made over 10 years ago.

Update: Detailed tail lights & WIP brush guard.

Got the tail light lense painted.


But I wasn't too happy with the result, so I tinted it a bit.


Here's a comparison pic of the before and after tinted lense.


Did a mock up on the truck.


Still missing something, so I out lined it with some black paint.



Now it's time for the brush guard. I ran out of styrene tube, so I had to use the part tree from the model kit.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooohhhh!!!!!!

Now this is by far becoming a much better and more detailed project than your Hilux!

I think people who dislike this or say that this has been done before are wrong. You are improving your skills, and what better way than to perfect the small things that make it a whole lot more! **** good work Jason!

I'm going to have to do this sooner or later... After I finish the frame dragging static model S10...

Looking really good man!

Lol! I already have a lot of projects going on already, need to finish up some of them before I start a new one. Sounds like another crazy project by Kevin starting from next weel.

Functional lights????

Those gaps on the bar look somewhat like they have been welded... I like!

I can't believe how large those tires are... Good god****! They pretty much fill the entire wheelwell and then some..

It's really turning out great man!

Wanna send this to me for a present there Jason...

Thanks Tom, I'm thinking about functional lights, but this truck is really packed, so we'll see about that later on. Those Irok's are 59mm tall, the tire itself is already taller than more of my Mini-Z's. By the time I finished with this truck, I would probably sell it, so then I would have an excuse to build another Arctic Trucks next year.


Update: More details added!


Painted rear bumper Matt Black.



Got them jerry cans mounted.


Rear mud flaps mounted in place, still need to make the front ones.


Rear license plate.


Random shot.


Modifying/mounting the snorkel.











Rear view mirror mounted.



Dashboard painted.

Thank you!


Update: After the snow storm is gone, it left me 22 inches of snow. Though it maybe a good time to take the truck out for some outdoor pics.
