Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

SWAGGER you're making my brain hurt lol.:eek: But that is worth considering though. Our local walgreen carried a few things from kiss like notebooks christmas tree ornaments. Now you got my wheels turning. I think I may try to get another Gene and two of Paul, Paul as a passenger...who knows. There are so many things that could be done to this project, it seem's it may never end.:eek::eek: BTW, my wife thinks i've lost my mind.:D:eek::p:rolleyes:

Thanx buddy, Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

John,

You've done a ton of styrene work on that cab! It loks awesome man, very good job! :cool: Man I tell you, styrene work is the most time consuming part of a build imo.

I'm watching this build, can't wait to see your paint scheme for this one.:D

>Marty<

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Thank you Marty:D I have to agree, the styrene work is very time consuming, but I hate sanding.:p I can't wait to get some color on this.:p;)

Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

No worries Big John! It would be cool to have Kiss members in the cab alright but I am sure whatever you do will be first class.

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Thank you buddy, and after thinking about Gene driving, I found the king interior.:D I am going to try attempting to cut and reshape Gene and if I can find him, Paul. Stay tuned for more.

YOU WANTED THE BEST, AND YOU GOT THE BEST, THE HOTTEST...Oh wait this isn't a kiss concert.:D
Anyway's I did some painting last night and today...Now I know this isn't the body, but I decided to bring the paint technique inti the cab. I got a container deep enough for the dash.

Put enough water so it would be completly submurged.

Sprayed three colors of choice.

Now I swirled, (do not mix) the paint. I got into a hurry and forgot to take pic's of swirling and dipping the dash...But I WILL on the body.

And I detailed the seats, because of SWAGGER, LOL!!! And even if I can't put Gene and Paul in the positions I need, there will still something for eye appeal.

Thanx for looking, and thanx SWAGGER for getting me to install the interior, Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Now thats pretty cool!!! cant wait to see the cab all done up like that!

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Thanx a million Aaron.:D Now i'm undecided on whether to do the frames for both truck and trailer, or paint a solid color. Time will tell...
Now my next step is to make a pretty cool steering wheel.:p:)

Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

I made a chain link steering wheel.:) Now I need to clean it up and get it detailed.

Thanx for looking, Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Nice... Oh and it looks like it comes with its own SteeringWheel BOX!

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Hahahaa! Sorry John!! Glad you are doing it though, it looks mental and in the best way possible ;) This truck is all about being wild and out of control so hit that as hard as you can. The seats are insane!! Who else has that? As for the dash, well, that is so unique, turned out great. Lastly, that steering wheel? I am speechless, this truck is going to be so in your face and imposing. I am loving this. Well done.

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

LOL, Classic...very Nice !

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

:eek: now you need a bare foot gas pedal and some green and gold carpet and a lava lamp!:D ! the truck is cool though

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Thank you RCLaser.:DBut i'll have to wait 'til it's empty lol.;)

Thank you SWAGGER, and if it wasn't for you, the interior would be a no go...gues I just neede a little push.:eek::p:D:rolleyes:;)

Thank you Alfy.:D

Gun, i have got so many idea's for this "I LOVE IT LOUD" truck, I actually wake up thinking about it.:eek: I guess i'm a little throwed off.:D:p:rolleyes: And thank you.;)

Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

don't forget the box trailer that flips open to a stage complete with all band instruments put a button on rear of trailer sticking out far enough for when you back into an object it comes open and that paint job on outside and in who wouldnt check out that set up!!!!!!

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Autocar, I am wanting to do a "stage" in the trailer.:D But so far the only members I can find are Gene and Paul.:( I didn't think of a button to lay down one side, but maybe a servo. That way it would be a smooth drop. And I need to find the instruments...But the fat lady hasn't sung yet.:eek:

Thank you, Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Find out who makes the action figures and give them a call they might have everything ya need with KISS already on it worth a try .

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Well I got the steering wheel painted. and since this truck is going to be loud, I thought why not the inside.:eek:

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Who needs a volume control with a dash that looks that good?

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Thanx a million Autocar, and remember, if it's to loud, you're to old.:D:D:D
