This build is done by our friend in France, VINCEREEF! Here is his New member check-in thread: http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=88837.0.

I bet a good camera shot would fool most people into thinking it was a real truck. Very nice!

So realistic, especially the action hero driver. I bet nobody knew that Marlin was so buff under that uniform and I could never figure out how he tucks those gold locks under his cap.

Amazing work.

Hello, a little question! I'm looking for the design of the tires fitted to the hi lux 1/1? A picture would be cool. The rims are 15 'or 19'?
I want to finalize this project to the end ..
In advance thank you

Nimyad · « **Reply #21 on:** May 22, 2012, 08:13:37 AM »

The tires on it in the first pic posted are super swamper iroks. Not sure on wheel size though, either 15 or 17

VINCEREEF · « **Reply #22 on:** May 22, 2012, 08:56:50 AM »

Thank you very much, I'll find it ... they look like those?

Closer to the 2nd picture. Marlin is running 15" rims.

Take a look at what BigBird did, he made a 1.5" outer diameter on a 1.9" wheel, and then modified each tire by cutting and gluing different sidewalls together: http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=52887.msg888062#msg888062

End result is a 1.5" tall rim, or a 1/10th scale 15" rim

BIGBIRD · « **Reply #24 on:** May 22, 2012, 12:55:11 PM »

for sure adding the extra rubber to the sidewall to run a smaller rim will be way closer to scale, lots of work, but well worth it. click on the link that Big Mike posted. and pleas ask any questions. Rick
