Ekhatch Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hello I'm Richard. I haven't done a model in a long time and here recently I've started back up and I found this site. I'm working on the ford f1 right now to get me back into it and I'll share the build process as I go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skypower Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Looks like your gonna have some fun, welcome back to modeling I'm brand new to modeling myself, these guys are a great bunch and a lot of help when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekhatch Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I started by mocking the exterior up seeing how I want everything to fi The outside of this I want to be just about all stock parts with this kit. I didn't really want to add anything extra. I dechromed all the chrome parts and added rust colors to them. I want the body an all to be perfect but all the chrome rusty. I guess you can say I wanted a rat rod look with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekhatch Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 I finished the motor with one of detail masters distributor kits and I put the carb stacks on it I started the interior with a leather look. Something that would have been used to restore the car now days. And started the door panels the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekhatch Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 The finished door panel And the start of the dash I fished the cab and installed the seat, gas tank, and battery. I painted the wheels red then added some driven on grease look to them to keep with the theme This is the finished product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm trying to get a airbrush set up. So I'm reading and deciding on which one will be best. But until then I just hand paint and call it a day.

They would have looked like 1:1s abandoned in an overgrown field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekhatch Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I took my modeling to a level I never have before. I used some bondo and deleted the door handles, the wiper arm holes, and the holes in the bed for the wood slats it came with I also stopped by the local hobby store an picked up a seatbelt set Edited January 18, 2014 by Ekhatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish it looked like it had more leather feel to it. I'm been trying to do some new interior things since I started modeling again. This is just the first.
