Albert Moore Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Hi Gang- This is my just completed 1/25 Revell T-bucket Ford, built from the 'Rat Rods Amigos' boxing. I didn't get carried with any extra detailing outside of adding a few parts from other kits as I wanted a simple, hassle-free shelf build. The extras include a sewing pin shifter, five spoke rims from a Revell 1929 Ford Model A pickup, and headlights from a Revell 1932 Ford. The windshield frame is from the kit, though I chopped it down a bit for a more contemporary style. The decals came from various sheets, while the license plates are from Gopher Graphics. The finish is Dupli-Color Flat Black with a satin clear coat (Model Master Acryl semi-gloss to be exact). For the finishing touch, a skull was added to the radiator shroud (sourced from a diecast rat rod model). Comments/critiques welcomed, thanks for looking! Cheers, Albert Edited August 29, 2014 by Albert Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardik Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I like this... a lot. The lack of fussy detail goes completely unnoticed with a model this cleanly built. The finishes and the overall "vibe" are just so right. Bravo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Moore Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Thanks for all the kind comments, I greatly appreciate them! @ Glenn- the wheels are stationary. They were able to be repositioned until I accidentally glued the left side spindle while attaching the steering arm. Thanks again y'all! Had a little fun with the photo editing software on my phone- Cheers, Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
