Dr. Cranky Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 All right, this one is in the bag, as they say . . . I still have to find a whole bunch of stuff to clutter up the bed, but I'm taking a break to do a shiny paint job next . . . hope you enjoyed the journey with this one. Again, the MPC kit builds smooth and it's a subject matter that always gets the creative juices flowing . . . give one a try, you'll love it!

Dr. Cranky Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 With the rack, looking ready to ride to any jobsite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Excellent weathering Virgil!! You definitely have the touch for it for sure. There's a friend up the road from me that has a similar truck that is slammed on the ground and has a healthy small block. It looks so cool. Great work!

Dr. Cranky Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thanks, Roger. I've been wanting to build something like that too. I have another copy of this kit, so I'm sure I will get the bug to build another one very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffs396 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I've really got to try weathering a build, some of you here are masters at it! I just have a hard time building something cleanly, only to "mess it up" with weathering but they look Sooooo cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasser59 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) WOW! Virg you really have this weathering thing down to a science. Very nice. The materials on the rack look like they could use some weathering too. Where did you scource the scale tailgate chain as it is perfect?

Skydime Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 That thing looks beat to death! ...meaning....GREAT JOB! Virgil, you do some of the most realistic weathering I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thanks, everyone. Those of you who've never tried a rusty weathered job like this, you should. It will give you a nice break from spraying glossy mavens! LOL. Oh man, I can't remember where the scale chain came from . . . I want to say Walther's and/or Micro Mark, and yes, it's perfect for truck beds like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
