Yeah that looks amazing, It'll be a shame to drag that bumper on the rocks.

Hmm. That's pretty fancy. I have seen that bumper on a trx4 bronco but I think it looks better on there. Fantastic!

Wow its a nice day out in San Diego! What to do?!
Oh! I can paint my tiny truck!
First coats of almond for the cab, sides, and tailgate...
Mmmm... Glossy...
But where is the grill?
Oh, here it is!
I really like these molotow chrome pens!

Looking good! Did you plan to weather it at all or will it be "factory" paint?
Pop's 1:1 was in decent shape minus light scrapes from sage brush we often encountered not far from apple valley. He was proud of her appearance, waxed every 6 months, but that never stopped him from doing "truck stuff" 
So yeah not much paint weathering. Haha I do remember his exhaust pipe had holes from rust at the end though.
If I remember to do it, and if I have time, I will add exhaust.
Lots of little details moght not make it on there for proline. But eventually this will be like more of an rc model kit with every detail I can remember.
Yes, very much a "doll house" truck.
Then I will need another rig later for "serious business"

That molotow chrome pen right thurrrrr!!!
I love that thing! It was likr 4 bux at hobby lobby.
Stuff is seriously great. I only primered that grill once and lightly sanded. The chrome goes on thick and lays down so evenly, after its third coat you cant even tell this was 3d printed anymore.

Looking totally awesome, my friend. Excellent work. Your meticulous attention to detail reflects credit upon yourself and the USN ;-)
Can't wait to see it trimmed out!

Very nice Chris, you have come a long way since the day you first got Bulldog in the mail. "thumbsup";-) Looking forward to seeing you guys again at PLBTF! And keep up the good work young man!Color combo sneak peek...

Thank you gents. Its very humbling to hear how far my abilities have come. I have done a LOT of research, asked you all a bunch of questions, and received A TON of help from you all.
Literally could not have done this without all of you.
Each and every single person who has posted here has contributed somehow, wether they know it or not.
And we arent done yet!!!
Still need to do a bunch of detail work.
Starting with proper masking of the two tone paint. Then I need to put all the trim/badges on (lariats have both in abundance) attach my mounting system, LIGHTS (in the mail as I type), interior...
I still have no idea who to use for driver figures.
So yeah... LOTS of work to be done yet. No way will I have all of it done before proline, but I should have it about an acceptable 90% there.

Rootbeer metallic is laying down nicely, and that chrome pen, wow! So much Ascender assembling to prepare for PLBTF.
