I heard through the grape vine this was posted over here, thought I'd drop in and say hello, Thanks for all the compliments... and um... yeah compliments.

I started this build almost a year ago. Didn’t have much time till lately and it's nearing completion. The owners over at EarthRoamer I’m sure are awaiting a finished product for the show room. You think they will pay a 1:10th the cost of the real one for this?

Having a blast when I can work on it, there is so much to work with. All the R/C scalers are looking for something original to build, and this site is a secret builders weapon....

Fyi, I’d be single if this was coming out of my pocket……

I could not find the right leather for the seats so I tried this fake suede from a fabric store. Was easy to work with and cheap.

Thanks guys! It's been a time killer, but the time we enjoy wasting is not wasted time....

I'm having a blast searching your forums for 1:1 vehicles I can make scale versions of.

New Roof with more lights, 3 long “florescent” lights, 1 round. It couldn’t be just one light easy in the earth roamer but I’m glad I took the time and made another. I decided to make the roof and paint it before mounting it to the foam to avoid any foam melting from the spray paint.
