It's a new reissue of the kit called Boondocker by AMT. A company called Model King just brought it back out. They are also going to reissue the 79 Bronco called Wild Hoss...

Alot of guys in our model club uses Castrol Super Clean. You just have to be careful or it'll eat the plastic. The last time I stripped one I used nail polish remover,but you can only leave the body in that for an hour or two at a time or it will melt the plastic...

Believe it or not the half cab is a cut down long bed pick up. The red one is the old Boondocker kit...

That Blazer model on 49s - that thing is sweet! Is that blue stripe going to stay there, or is it just masking tape?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-09-2006, 07:08 PM

The blue stripe is staying..... Its gonna be pretty much like brian mccormicks blazer from the early 80's..

70gmcjimmy · 06-09-2006, 07:46 PM

Hey FrenchBlue-
I mainly build 1/64 bods for slotcars(see avatar) but modeling is the same no matter the scale. To strip paint on these I put the bod in a ziplock bag, spray a bunch of easy off oven cleaner in it and seal it up overnight. The next day a toothbrush and some warm water should take it off without much effort, depending on how many coats of paint there is. I have never had it eat the plastic. Krylon paint can usually be removed with denatured alcohol. I know some guys that use brake fluid (ya know what that can do to the paint on yer truck!), but I havent tried that one so I dont know if it reacts bad to the plastic if it sets too long. Very cool job on the Blazer so far!

Chuck-- I dig yer models, man---That camo ride looks like a Jimmy! I'd like to get my hands on one of them to do my Jimmy! I had an Open Road camper when I was a kid and it was one of my favorite models way back then. Sounds like you had to do some "kit bashin" to build yers, but that makes it better yet!

Those models bring back a lot of good memories from the days I built 1/24s and 1/25s. Thanks for the pics all!

Hey DAC, the green one has mud paint to look like a wheeler. It has a GMC grill with a Chevy tailgate. There's a guy on ebay that's selling a resin GMC conversion for the newly released blazer kit...

Chuck

2wdBlazer · 07-13-2006, 09:42 AM

Are you gonna paint the inner grill black? I did it on mine and it looked kick butt!

IGOR · 07-13-2006, 11:57 AM
