Ford Raptor Snap Kit

[Beans]

Completed this quick fun kit with no real issues or complaints.  I tried some things that I knew could lead to total failure, especially in the painting department but everything seemed to work out pretty well.

As with my current build theme, I created this one to replicate another vehicle from the Supernatural TV show.  For the show fans, this is the personal vehicle of Sheriff Donna Hanscum.

Overall I made some very minor changes/additions to the kit to replicate the show version. 

They must not have had a license from Ford because the show creators have big F O R D on the grill covered and all other emblems blacked out...so I did the same.

-Created the license plates

-Created a bed cover

-scratch built the winch and cable

-Wheels are from a Jeep Rubicon kit

-added seat belts (but you can't see them)

-Painted with Duplicolor Black rattle can

-Cleared with Krylon Triple-Thick Crystal Clear Glaze rattle can(used on a whim, never used before and honestly the idea of puting Krylon over Duplicolor would have made me cringe if someone else had said it). 

-Grey accents are craft paint.

It could stand some polishing which I may do at some point.  For now though it has a nice home next the previously completed Impala and Gremlin.

Looks great!

Thanks all!!  Overall it was a fun build.  It's weird that everything just kind of worked out.  I'm going to have to get a few more snap kits to break from a stressing build.

That's cool. I've been considering this kit for a while. You've succeeded in convincing me. Really nice execution, I like it.

Man, this thing looks pretty good with those Jeep wheels and tires... Very nice work... Interior looks nice, as well... Great job...

[Beans]

Thank you again everybody.  I really appreciate all the compliments.  I can definitely say that this is one of those builds that was really fun to do.  All those usual little moments of frustration never happened with this one.  Everything fit and everything worked out.

That's really nice, picked up one with the other snaps, Ford GT, Mustang, etc... a while back. Good to see it can be finished off nicely, great job!

Thank you.  I did the Mustang as well a while back.  That one came out pretty well also.  These snap kits are great for nice fitting quick but detailable projects.
