Chuck Most Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well, might as well contribute! This is one of the first (if not THE first) weathered model I build, around 2005 or 2006.It's a 'yard truck' for a salvage yard, used as a portable engine hoist and for shuffling around the old junkers on the grounds. It is mostly the Beverly Hillbillies 1922-ish Olds truck, but as the years wore on and '20's Olds parts got harder to find, stuff that broke, wore out, or just plain fell off was either not fixed at all or was cobbled with donor parts from other inmates in the yard. Not legal for road use anymore (the floor-mounted fuel tank wouldn't meet standards, I'm sure), but gets the job done on the property well enough, and it's way cheaper than a skid loader!

von Zipper Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 that model T looks like it was left in a barn fer a real long time. Where did you get the 1/25 scale web spinners? Thanks for the comments on my models-I'm glad you liked them. The dust and webs are the real thing, I put that car on a 1x6 board and put it in the rafters of my 1;1 barn for about a year and a half. Every couple of months I would give it a dusting of the dull coat shown below to hold the webs in place and build them up. I could'nt have built the Nova as correct with out Dan's('59 Impala) help-he sent me the Power Glide trans and alot of good advice on detailing/weathering. THANKS DAN !! The Nova is a build of my first 1:1 car that I bought in 1978 for $50.00 - I don't have any pictures of my Nova but the model looks just like it There are alot of cool models in this thread-thanks for posting your pictures !!
