1991 GMC Syclone

[Jared Roach]

So, I was extremely board today, and I wanted to do something, so I pulled this kit out that I got for christmas. It's revell's 1991 gmc syclone. This is my dream car, and hopefully someday I will own one or a typhoon, so I am building this exectly like if I owned it, 100% stock. I painted it duplicolor gloss black, no clear, but it will be wet sanded and polished out. I got the chassis almost done minus a few little things like the shocks, that I am waiting on to dry. I started the 4.3, but I still have some work to do. I painted some of the interior pieces light grey, but thats it.

Paint still needs work:

The only thing I am not happy about right now is a sink mark on the top of the left front fender which I missed during primer and sanding, oh well. I also detailed the wheels with a red sharpie and dull coated them, but the tire needs some trimmig to fit the rim right, because it's not sitting far enough in, making it look bad to me. Hopefully this will be a quick build, because I'm moving along on this one.

Thanks for looking.

Ok so I got a quick update, started polishing out the paint, but just got the roof done today. I also finsihed the chassis and engine, but it needs a decal or some detail painting on the engine cover thing, because it looks so plain right now. I also started the interior, which still needs some detail painting and I also still have to do the red piping on the seats, which I really don't know how I'm going to do that yet.

But anyways, it's coming along good.

I still need to get some of the finer scratches out before I completely happy with it.

I have to tone down the pan on the transmission, it's a little too weathered if you know what I mean lol.

Look for more on this soon, because I hope to have it done just after the new year.

Thanks for looking.

Wow thank goodness the forum Is back!

But anyways, I got a quick update on this:

I finished polishing the paint, I glued the body cladding on, did the decals, and finished the interior. It's now on the chassis for the final time. Still have a bit to do but it's coming along good.

Thanks for looking.

Nice to see one of those old square S10/S15's built!

[Jared Roach]

Thanks guys, but I have to strip the paint off this, because something got on it, and when I was trying to polish it out a again, I burned though the paint. So this one is on hold for a bit while the paint is striping.

This is defiantly my kind of build ... something you wish to own in the future. Sorry to hear about the paint, but it brings up a question. Were the red scripts on the side decals? If so, hope you can locate more after the repainting.

[Jared Roach]

Yes the Syclone in bed on the doors and tailgate were decals, but the cladding came off before I striped it. I have extra decals from another one because I made a crew cab version.

Hopefully this will clean up easily and have some paint on it soon.

So I am back at this one. It sat in the box for a long time and while I was cleaning up my hobby room I found it at the bottom of the pile. So I got to getting the rest of the paint of and started fresh. I re-primed, painted, and cleared the whole thing.

I am buying a new camera today, so hopefully I will get some pics up asap. Sorry this isn't a picture update though, but I wanted to show I'm still building.

Looking REAL good so far Jared!

[Jared Roach]

Thanks man.

So here are the pics, the body still needs to be polished bu the paint is pretty smooth.

Thanks for looking.
