Post pics of your Bad Dawg builds here. Bruce has been askin' for 'em so this would be the place. Maybe we can get the Hankster to make this sticky, so Bruce can harvest the pics for his website. And for those who dont get the reference:

So here are some of my Dawgs, all works in progress:

This is just mocked up yet, but my highboy roadster has the front clip lopped off in favor of an exposed engine, rides on an HP-7 with hotwheels real riders tires/wheels, a red primer paintjob and its gonna get the ole sethanddaddy/bobch horrorclix werewolf driver. That white piece at Wolfy's feet? Its the radiator/skull headlites from a hotwheels Rigor Motor, just gotta adapt it to the grille and motor piece so it all flows together. I knew hanging onto that piece was the right thing to do! Its far from done, but a lot closer than the rest. Its gunna be sexy!

These dawgs are just trimmed up, assembled and mounted but theyre ready for some psssshhhtttt action. A few points of interest: That lambo miura is mounted on what has to be the fastest supermagnatraction/speedshifter/cats eye variant Ive ever seen. And the minicooper on an amrac/rokar type chassis has speed and handling like you wouldnt believe! Its a fun racer now, but its gonna look the part by the time Im done.

This is bound to be another super thread... It may take 10,000 views and 1000 posts to make it to stickyville, but ya never know!!!

I wish it wasn't 4 AM right now on yet another sleepless night, but I wish even more my camera didn't have dead batteries!!! Here is a pre posted pic of my 1st Bad Dawg creation... Originally designed for an AFX chassis, I performed a bit of surgery to allow use of a T Jet. I know it's sitting cockeyed in the picture.. It has yet to get the posts installed. Wheels and tires by Vincent. I will say this much.. For my first Bad Dawg body I am thoroughly pleased!!! There was hardly any trim work, the resin used is easy to work with, not the dry powdery type that is brittle. It takes glueing easily. It took spray bomb paint with very minor prep work with absolutely no issues.

I will add the painted almost finished pictures as soon as theTM wakes up and gives me batteries..LOL until then.. think... California Dreaming....

what type of chassis is under the cobra body, please ? (please, say me it's a magnatraction...)

The world is a better place..at least for my camera! A promised, here is a much more colorful Little Red? Wagon.. Ok so it's not Red.. But I still think it's cool!!!! My first attempt with a "fade" paint job, this little bad boy started with a base of yellow, followed by a misting of candy orange and a lower body misting of candy red. Boards in candy blue and green. Dang I love them metalcast spray bombs!!! She still needs to have the posts installed and the LED head and tail lights put in, but she's getting really close!!

Hope you likes!!!! :)

Nice work GRJ and jLED... :thumbsup::thumbsup: + :thumbsup::thumbsup: nd

Wow , a surprize party, Love it ! I appreciate the work you guys do .keep them coming . There be a whole page atleast with past pictures of projects . I love the chopped wagons.

I notice both of you slamed the wagon down and add the t cover on the back .Is this something that would be worth my time changing a wagon to and would sell ?

SCM--Nice work on that pickup! I like your choice of wheels too, Vincents do tend to add something to a car. And yes, the bad dawg resin is REAL nice to work with. It behaves a lot like styrene in terms of being flexible and light, but doesnt tend to melt when you chop it up with a cutting wheel which is nice.

Demether--No, the cobra is based on a Tyco AC cobra and rides on a black curvehugger chassis with lifelike wheels. Dash Motorsports makes a REAL nice cobra for AFX and magnatractions. To be honest the Dash version is a lot more accurate to the lines of the real thing, whereas Tyco had to distort the proportions a bit to get it onto a widepan chassis. Its still a sweet looking car, but ends up a bit more like a caricature which is what I like about it. And Dash has an undecorated build kit so you can do it yourself. I have one of those sitting in my project box too....

OK, thank you for the answer. i'll search for a dash one :thumbsup:

Isn't there a thread already started for this?
... I posted a bunch of pics there

There is? oops, didnt know that.

I believe it's the same LRW Bruce. The 1st pic was all I had a 4 AM.. While the modification wasn't a big deal, something predone would be cool too.. The resin you're using is a dream to play around with. I stuck the body on my milling vise and used that to mill out the truck bed. No dust like with other resins. Agreed, alot like working with styrene!! Before you do all the work, why not see if there's a demand via the website when it's up and running?? I'm pretty sure you will get questions about the customs especially once they get some exposure.. What I like the most about this model with the TJet chassis is how the wheels tuck in just right. No clearancing wheel wells required.. For my very first Bad Dawg body, I can say excellent product!!!! I will be getting more!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice rod Grunger!!! I likes that chrome accesorization!!!
Looking good Sltman with the orangey red combination!!! The cool colored surfboards add that special touch!!!
Looking good guys :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: RM

Thanks for the compliment. I see in your picture you have a couple more of mine though . I see you have a yellow flatbed and a white UPS truck which I made also . Maybe you bouhgt them when I was BNBgoodies.

Nope I grabbed a 5 pack as soon as I found out about the traxs here on Hobby Talk.. 2 flatbeds, a black willys pickup and the UPS. The rest are just on chassis for now.. You'll know when they're done.. they'll light up!! LOL!

Bob...Shine on you crazy diamond...zilla

Thanks all!!!!One thing about the LRW Bruce.. Some window glass would be cool.. It was a challange making the windows.....

Bob, I think it's more like:

OR

I'm just sayin' :drunk::hat::freak::dude::tongue:

RIP Robert Palmer... :(:cry:

Thanks all!!!!One thing about the LRW Bruce.. Some window glass would be cool.. It was a challange making the windows.....


After talking with VJ I am looking for a JL LRW and maybe there's a glass there. If not I'll make something that will work. I am re- working the LRW right now . Cleaning some stuff up and put new clips for the chassis .Something with more positive attachment then remold and release in a couple of weeks and I might do one with the t - cover too

I'm just me Bruce and I can't guess the desirability on the open market.. I like vans, van pickups and trucks (been a driver most of my working life) As you can see, the LWR is sweet on a Tjet.. But I'll let you decide if the market is worth the effort.. The one dodge pick-up van I have on my table has no glass. I have a different version in a box and will check tomorrow. If it does, I'll let you know,and will be happy to send it your way for the glass mold making if you need it..

Thanks all!!!!One thing about the LRW Bruce.. Some window glass would be cool.. It was a challange making the windows.....

I'm thinking a ho scale gas powered gernerator in the back to power a window air unit in the rear window or passengers side window.

Bruce while you are at it how about a drive in Movie sound stand with one of those speaker boxes that hangs on yer' window edge. Oooooooooooooh and one of those drive up restraunt food trays with burgers, fries and some cokes?

Ho scaled assesory packs would be Kewl. Not sure what would be good though. Lots of stuff has been made already in the diecast garage kits. Surfboards? Roll bars? How about a ho scale hotdog stand shaped like a hot dog? Just messing around...I know you are busy as heck Bruce. Bodies are good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob...just kidding man...zilla

The JL version doesn't have glass. I've made it on a few of mine with Lexan.
The rear window is easy, the front, not so easy.

*bump*

Got a couple of dawgs finished up and the Future is a-dryin. My mini cooper and lambo miura will be getting posted soon.

Bring on the pix Grunge! :) rr

Finally got around to them.

Lamborghini Miura:

I liked the cast-in color on this one enough that I decided to just paint in the details and then coat it in Future. Had to do some chopping and grinding on the glass to get it to fit, this may have been modeled from a diecast or something. It rides on an aurora speedshifter chassis, but I dumped the stock dual-gear setup in favor of a stock Super G+ rear end, kept the silver painted speedshifter wheels.

Mini Cooper:

This one rides on a Lifelike X2 (Amrac/Rokar style) chassis. Its lightweight and screams like a madman, definitely a good racing body. It was painted using that dutch boy acrylic enamel in the rattle can and it goes on nice and smooth, and dries fast. The decals are an old Auto World sheet that I found at my local hobby store. With the sponsor logos, meatballs, and racing stripes I was going for the club racer look.

Looking good Jeeper!!! Likes the lambo alot!! Nice job!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Those are both real sporty looking...lets take them for a ride shall we? Zoom, zoooooooooooooooom, sCREEEEEEEEEEATCH!!!!!!!!!

Bob...need some build time now as these pics inspired me...zilla

Thanks, guys. Thats the beauty of these, Bob. Both have good handling characteristics and the bodies are real lightweight.

My Favorite Lambo!

She's a beauty!

My Favorite Lambo!

She's a beauty!

I know, right? Easily the most beautiful car ever built by Lamborghini, possibly to EVER come out of Italy, IMHO.

Remember the opening scene from the original Italian Job? Made me sick to see that car tossed down the mountainside. But I hear they greabbed it out of a wrecking yard as it was already skragged...

Those are nice pieces for sure.

Bruce,

All I can say is Far Out! This is my last Bad Dawg Trick Truck body ( still have some other styles left :) )from days gone by. Wes got a Sublimey one from me a while back and now will be putting in an order for some more of these Bad Dogs very soon.

Have wanted to paint up a Trick Truck like the original Red & Silver but, in different colors for a long time. Well tonight was that time and it was a blast to Phssssssssssssssssssht this one up. I can't find my window for this yet...oh dang:cry: It has to be here someplace. I have the tarp, engine and chute....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I am just going to detail the front grill, paint the chute flat Olive Drab, silver the headlights and hit the tailights with red to give this a Tyco stock look. Look for some Metalic Green, Metalic Purple, etc Tricky Truckys in the future.

Bob...oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...zilla

I really like that version Bob.... great paint job!

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Grunge. My fav is also the Lambo

Cool truck Bob.......stand back i'm painting again....zilla :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Bob--Im diggin the silver to blue fade, that does look like some kind of alternate version that Tyco couldve done at some point.

Great re-deaux in blue Bob!

Zilla....nice dawg trick truck . Did you use silver to blue or silver to candy blue ?

Oh my!!! Got to have some of these!!! I kinda thought fades were fading out of style, but not here in the real world of slotcars :thumbsup::thumbsup: I've got to try this again...RM

Ya know, Tyco should have done this one in blue!

Perfect, Bob! :thumbsup:
How about a silver to green fade now? :D

Yeah!!!!! Silver to green sounds wicked cooool!!!! Nice job on the blue one!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Ya know, Tyco should have done this one in blue!

Perfect, Bob! :thumbsup:
How about a silver to green fade now? :D

Thanks guys and yeah I like it alot also. Silver was layed down first and then the Blue Metalic House of Kolor. Will post pics of it when it is done up completly mounted on a chassis with White Tyco Pro repop boots by Hellonwheels.

This type of fade was acomplished by mounting the body on a long paint stick. Then after the Silver was sprayed and dry time only takes about 10 min. for silver (it dries fast) the body was held at an angle so the paint would only hit the sides (not the roof) and then the same angle thingy was done to the back and front. I did have to carefully sneak the blue around by the rear window (like the original red and silver one) with a short controled squirt...Phsst.

I had the original painted Trick Truck (in a small baggy to protect from any over spray) by my side to use as a guide while painting this.

Yes Joez and Uther Joe,

When a check I have been waiting for comes in the mail Bruce is going to be getting an order for some more Trick Trucks from me to do in Metalic Green and Silver, Metalic Purple and Silver...etc....have always had in my head what a bunch of different Trick Trucks in different 2 tone fades would look like in a grouping...Yeah! Tyco should have done this but, should of, could of, doesn't always happen. Bam it is happening now!

Also plan on using House of Kolor Gamma Gold instead of the sliver with a Transparent Orange, Transparent Red....who knows what else till the paint starts flying? Just waiting for that check now...HURRY UP!

Bruce does a great job making these bodies up and if anyone else wants to do this Fade jobey feel free to go ahead and do it. It wouldn't be copy Catting because, I am just doing a color change copy of what Tyco originaly did in the first place. Thank God that we don't live in a black and white world. :)

Still need to find my window for this. keep things in small baggies all together and don't know how the window got removed from the baggie this was in?

Bob...I love paint ALOT...zilla

I did one of these a long time ago and sold it. I really like the car and decided to redo the decals again and paint another one. Ernie Irvan #2 Kroger Chevrolet.

That is one cool blast from the past, LeeRoy98! The car came out looking really lean, clean and classic. Thanks for making my day a little brighter!

LeeRoy98,

Paint and do up Another one...good idea! Looks great man.

Bob...Coke Zero Rules but, would drive this Pepsi car any day!...zilla

Well here are the pics of the finished Clone in blue project as promised.

Man this was a fun build and can't wait to do more of Bruce and Traxs Trick Trucks in different colors now!

Bob...can you say 20 more? Ooooooooooh yeah!...zilla

Wow Bob, thats pretty impressive. You'd never know that wasnt a 'real' Tyco. You did one hell of a job on that. Ive never liked the white boots they put on those, but you were going for a proper resto/clone. Cant wait to see some other variations.

Ive got a couple more Dawgs in the works right now myself. A VW bus, tyco cobra, and my wolfman highboy.

KEWL STUFF......and I thought all the knock-offs came from China :jest:

Wowzers, Bob, that blue and silver trick truck is fantabulous! I'm sure glad I have flood insurance cause all the drool from checking out your latest handiwork caused some structural damage to the house!!!
