Modlbldr Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Nick- That turned out great! Nice work on it. Where did youget the grille? It doesn't look like one I've seen in any kits. I could be wrong though. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenday Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 thats as slick as a ribbon! seriously, pretty cool, I like that body style of truck, and you did an excellent job on it, especially the dually bed...had you not told me I would have assumed it was kit stock...simply awesome!

lordairgtar Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Ha!! Love the chasis pic with your finger showing paint still on your digit...just like me. Just one tip...get yourself a big spray can of flat black primer or paint for the chassis. The brush marks detract from a clean assembly. On your next one, try and remove corporate trade marks too, makes for a cleaner look. Edited June 30, 2009 by lordairgtar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes for a more uniform appearance, plus you can work faster since spray, (for me anyways) dries faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was planning on cleaning that thumb but more important stuff was brewing. I actually only painted the parts I added and the body, A freind Cody gave it to me. I had much more important parts to work on than repainted that one part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Very nice... maybe it's time for me to rip into that glue-bomb '84 GMC kit I have collecting dust in the storage shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FujimiLover Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Two comments. The brushed on black on something classic like this, can give a nice weathered, or scratched look. Spray painting it for a nice silky smooth look will make it look brand new. So, it depends on the end result that you want. Um, why is there red paint on your fingernail? I hope that's not nail-polish! LOL! Nice work on that truck by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
