Just wanted to say Hi. Ive been doing car modeling since around the start of Highschool. Just finished up my bachelors degree now. Reason I found this is I was looking at review on youtube of revell's new gmc plow truck. Was watching unboxings and finished builds to get an idea of paint schemes and one of the other videos i clicked on showed a guy making lifted mud trucks. I love mudding and one day hope to have a mud truck. In the mean time I figured I could build some models of mud trucks and kind of tweak them to how id want a mud truck. I did some google searching on model mud trucks and stumbled on this site when I was searching for mud tires for models. Ill be skimming the forums on how to even get started with this kind of modeling and hopefully ill be able to post some pics of cool trucks. I have a dozen or so cars under my belt so far so this should be a fun project. Oh, my name is Nick and im from Southwest MI, soon to be 24.

I actually sort of started one today. more or less a slightly lifted truck. I have two old model trucks laying around. Ones a 65 chevy stepside and the other is a 60's ford. I had some ford explorer tires laying around that look like goodyear wranglers and are bigger than the stock tires. Ive got the suspension lifted a bit already and started painting a few things. More digging in the forums. Gotta figure out how guys get them super lifted trucks.
