I have two builds I really need to finish before I get too far in starting my Volvo.
First is a 1.9 Uni Mog Doka from splicing two Tamiya Mog bodies together. There's a slight dip in the roof where the two halves meet, hence the roof rack. I used the leftover bed pieces, shortened bed, to make a drop bed. Final paint will be on the outside, and when it gets trail scratches etc it will show the inside paint to replicate sheet metal/rust.

The lexan is fairly easy to work with as such, but not for finishing as styrene so I'm not going for perfection.
Then a 2.2 Axial frame'd rig. I had an HPI Bronco body I made an interior and some nice tail lights but then ProLine came out with a full hard top Bronco that I picked up and sold the other Bronco. It has a shiftable 2WD/4WD t-case and an MFC-02. With the slot mags, and current Imex G-Hawgz I'm going for a cool old school 70's mudder look. Currently the suspension is 4 linked front and rear, but as plans have changed for this I may go to leafs/radius arms to get a little more scale looking.

The Doka I started in March 09, and the Bronco in October 09. I hate RTR's and kit builds, but boy oh boy does it take me forever to get a build done!
Any who, just thought I'd share a couple other things I'm working on.
