April 2017 Seattle IPMS Model-Fy Contest Candidate
Time for more fun in the model world. Trust me- I have tons of ideas on what to make for the 4×4 Monster Truck modification theme for this years model show. If time permits- I’ll do one other fun project. For the contest- at least one 4×4 Monster Truck tire must be noticeable.
This one speaks for itself. Going bonkers with ‘For Sale’ signs plastic. I have always wanted to build more construction vehicles so now I have an excuse to do it.
I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. I will add pics as progress continues. Enjoy.
Note: you may click on the pics for a larger showing.

WOW John you had me at ”STARTING POINT” I thought you were modifying the Kit on view………………..Then realized all you are using are the TYRES/WHEELS. This is way more than impressive my friend. I was getting really freaked out about where all this creativity was coming from until you gave away the secret in the 4th last image………………..Empty Medication Container……. Being off your ”Anti-Crazy” Meds has its benefits. Laughing.

Hello, John, excelent the job.
I would like to write to you by e-mail, to request a copy of the LCI lindberg instruction manual. Thank you
John, I personally reckon this is one of your better builds as far as the design and total Scratch building goes. To use a set of wheels as a base – then to create this vehicle was awesome – then you took it to another level by making the parts move ! More than impressive my friend. Luved the vid – One flaw you need to work on your voice-overs [Laughing] .
Just when I thought it was all done & Dusted you surprise me with a new posting with MORE detailing. Like the filters – and cockpit detailing how could I have missed that.
Hope all went well with the show ? The Interior cab area has totally transformed -like the door locking mechanism.

Nice Video – I also enjoyed the Crew being present. John only one critique – I think ‘the Hand’ needs to be dressed in a pretty Orange Glove. Naked Hands are not cool as this is a Child friendly Site.
The articulating front end is awesome.
Hope you have hired some Orange County Law Officers for crowd control at your display Table.
Herman! TOO FUNNY! BEVERAGE-THROUGH-THE-NOSE-FROM-LAUGHING-SO-HARD FUNNY!
The extreme scuffing , oil and hydraulic fluid stains plus weathering is outstanding – some of the best in your series of D.I.Y. Builds. You definitely stepping up your game my friend.
Oh the infamous ACV [Advanced Cartage Vehicle] will be debut at this show. Cannot wait for the feedback. Have you arranged a drum roll for your Grand entrance.
Hope we will in future be seeing the AGVDS [Autonomous Ground Vehicle Delivery Sytem]
