This build reminds me of the old movie serial days when you had to wait until the next week to see the hero escape and get back in the action. I just love watching each episode of the Toyota Landcruiser unfold.

Your work never ceases to amaze me - great stuff!

Shoey this thing is getting better every time I see it and amn U have to place this on the market with a copyright and make a bit of money (although breaching Toyota's copyright on the 75 might place U in a predicament hey) but hey make inquiries, damit I'd buy one of ya, this model is bloody awesome.

Dingo

and Proud of it.

These wheels yell Landcruiser, they are modified Land rover rims now with 6 studs and diff locks.
rear suspension is just a mock up for photo. will build a propper one later.
also got some guttering and vents done.

Hey Shoey, do you know that pink song ? you know . You make me sick! friggen awesome stuff man, better than the average kit cause its right well at least more correct than 90% of kits out there. You have talent aplenty my friend. Wanna do us all a favor and weasel your way into a job at revell?

You are a true craftsman.

by Mustang_67 on Tue 15 Dec 2009, 7:44 am

I know it when I see it.......you are an artist Shoey, I would never even attempt something like this. You have inspired me mate! It looks awesome and the detail is amazing compared to any kit I have ever built!

by ChevyFan on Tue 15 Dec 2009, 10:27 am

Your skills are just ridiculous. I'm sure, like me, other people want to try what you do, but I know for me, I'm a long way from attempting this. Not a fan of 4wd's etc but your workmanship on this is out of this world good. Looking forward to your next update, so please don't keep us waiting too long.

Have been a bit slack gettin stuff done over Christmas and New Year, back into it again.
Got the right hand drive dash made for it, still have the column to do.

by Clutch on Tue 12 Jan 2010, 2:03 am

Cool, did you scratchbuild the whole dash?

by Mustang_67 on Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:51 am

Looks awesome Shoey!

by Tillerman on Tue 12 Jan 2010, 11:48 am

Bloody hell Shoey... You must have 28 hours a day! You will have to show me tonight.

by Tubman on Tue 12 Jan 2010, 11:54 am

I'm a little dissapointed myself. I feel there could be a bit more detail around the vent areas

and I can't see what station you have the radio tuned too.

Are you kidding me, that is insane

by Tillerman on Tue 12 Jan 2010, 12:20 pm

As long as you leave room for a 10 gallon hat in the cabin.. Gotta wear that when you drive you know. You just can't be too sure about those nasty uv rays.. lol. Oh and you missed a big hump in the middle of the dash shoey. tsk tsk. Lift your game champ.. lol

by spiritman on Tue 12 Jan 2010, 12:27 pm

O M F G !

That's it, i quit. Shoey has obviously cornered the market on scratchbuilding skills.

I think the odometer should read about 700,000 Km's

That is fantastic work.

Getting the body shape so perfect was great but i think the work in this is even better due to the size.

by cobra98 on Tue 12 Jan 2010, 1:42 pm

What more is there to say??

by zenrat on Tue 12 Jan 2010, 1:54 pm

I refuse to believe.
Obviously Shoey has his garage floor done out in green squares and has hit a 'cruiser with white paint...

BTW, was flicking through a 2001 issue of Street Machine (as you do) and found pics of a load of Shoeys builds at a car show.
What happened to the build of the Sony Xplod delivery Shoey? That was one of yours wasn't it?
There's a pic of Daryl MacBeth holding it & grinning.

Can't remember. It's not yet been dismembered (I remove any interesting pages and recycle the rest - saves space) so I can have a look tonight (i'll try not to forget).

by zenrat on Wed 13 Jan 2010, 6:08 pm

Feb 2001.

See separate thread if anyones interested in grabbing some of these old mags before I recycle them.
