Based on DontPanic42's post (copied from another thread), and the popularity of the radio-controlled Earthroamer thread (sorry, can't find the link right now), I suspect I am not the only one whose thought of modeling their current or dream camper.

May be a good way to 'vizualize' your floorplan, especially with scale dolls.


This is completely off topic but the title "FG in a Box" got me to thinking. Always a dangerous thing. Does anyone make a diecast model of a FUSO? I expect I am not alone in collecting diecasts of the cars I have owned over the years - 2 "67 Camaros (the original in "67 and the one I have now), '69 Charger, '70's El Camino, "54 Bel Air, etc. Toyota even sent me an FJ like the one I bought in '06. It would be great to have a FUSO and try to make it look like the "RoadHippo"

Anyway, I saw this model kit at Hobby Lobby:

I realize that the M1078 is unobtainable to most if not all of us, but it still might make a reasonable truck model for modeling other cab-over 4x4 rigs.

Just a thought...
