Bud Nastruck

[shunter]

Well it took some time to get this one done and in the end there are plenty of corners being cut and the finish is not what i originally had in my mind. But it is done and i just Mike Madlinger was able to see it...
Paint is Tamiya TS8 with 2K clear over it, decals are Racescale and then there are the details that have been added along the way.

Nice Shayne, are you a "Bud Man" by chance?

HAHAHA to be honest not really a beer drinker and if I do buy some for the fridge it's usually a Corona or Carlsberg so go figure. Appreciate the comment.

Very nice! I really like the small display touches you add, i.e., the steering wheel on the dash and the air cleaner on the bracing and off the carb. They give the model a more candid appearance.

Man Shayne...I know I'm REALLY late to respond to you OUTSTANDING Truck build, but I"m cruising through some of the categories that I don't get to to often. I ran upon your truck build. Your attention to detail and craftsmanship on this build is some of the best I've seen. I truly appreciate all the work and research that you put into this build. The Plumbing and wiring detail you did is spot on. A GREAT BUILD. The build that took first at the show must've been of a 1/1 car! LOL...CONGRATULATIONS on the second place...

I missed it the first time around. That's a very cool build!

Hey thanks guys for the compliments...it’s greatly appreciated. Maybe it is time for a BUD 😋

Shunter,
Your build was posted before I joined the group, so I missed it. I do cruise the index looking for new posts, but this is the 1st time that your incredible build has a post that would bring it to the most recent post, so I had the opportunity to view your build.

And what a fantastic build it is. The details are so impressive it just mind boggling.

Do you folks get BUD down there? I'd think that FOSTERS would be the one to go too!! I think it taste a whole lot better than BUD...

Bud is made with RICE and it tastes like it too...just say'in..

HAHAHA Yeah would think that we all drink Fosters, but i know most people here go for VB (Victoria Bitter) or then Corona and some of the Japanese beers, Fosters is not really rated here. I think it is mainly an export beer now and the UK are lovers, i know my friends think Fosters is crap..
