Since it has been slow around here, I've decided to post as I build for a Group Build from another site. This will be a long build as work travel always gets in the way. The start photo required for their GB. All the resin bits except the Jerry can are from Fireball Modelworks, can is from Shapeways and very old (found it at the bottom of a spare parts box). Paint will be Gravity Ford Royal Maroon, still undecided if the accents will be semi-gloss black or cream.

I will be scratch building a power brake booster and a swingout tire/gas can carrier as well as adding some scratch built headrests to the front seats.

Just noticed that my reply didn't post a few days back.
Work travel and a sci-fi model I've been working on have kept me from getting started on the Bronco. Hope to be on it by Christmas, New Years at the latest.

Finally got started on it. Soaked everything in dish detergent soapy water overnight. Most all the resin and plastic pieces are cleaned and minor sub assemblies are built. Then came the scary bit, cutting the rear fenders for the Fireball Modelworks flares. Turning this: Into this: Front fenders were opened up as well. My SD card died and the body pictures were all that I could salvage, more pics once I get a replacement.

Have spent a bunch of time on the road for work. So only a small photo update. Chassis, engine, exhaust, trans, t-case, suspension and driveshafts installed. The Rancho shock decals were applied to look like they were the self adhesive stickers that come with them, no decal solvent, just a tiny bit of Decal set to make sure they stuck. The fan is just slid in there since it still needs detail painting.
