Chuck Most Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) This one's basically done- I still need to settle on what to stick on the back, at which time I'll do the sides and any signage. The wheels and crane are from an Italeri parts pack, and the Todco liftgate is from the base kit- the C600 city delivery. I used that kit because of the longer frame. The flat bed itself is from a C600 stake truck. Edited September 6, 2015 by Chuck Most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonj238 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 That looks great! I love the weathering. Most trucks are shiny and perfect, but 1:1's were made for work. I need to learn how to weather. Great Job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Charger Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Well I know there is no poll on this but my vote would go for having that Hudson on the back . That is really cool Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne swayze Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I like the look of this one! Nice weathering also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Another great weathering job. I vote for some kind of construction materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Chuck, you never disappoint! But given the crane and the lift gate, it needs something industrial on the back, just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariots of Fire Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm with Mr. Billings. Pallets or something like a stationary diesel generator or truck parts maybe. Don't think using it to carry another vehicle quite does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've seen a few flatbeds with a crane like that used to deliver propane tanks. The tanks wouldn't be that hard to make, and would be something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sharp build, very realistic looking weathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Right- the Hudson's on the back of it for now, I'm thinking the permanent cargo might be scrap metals or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Two thumbs up Chuck! x2 chuck, your "Output" is outstanding....wow. and no less Quality on your results. Love that truck. with the load more than perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Very nice looking build, Chuck. What about something like building materials for a load? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastheniker Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Very convincing wheathering, not overdone as so often! IMO this vehicle looks like a typical truck of an auto recycler. Therefore my vote goes to picture #5 and the pink wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdWatcher Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Great work Chuck! Can't wait to try my hand at weathering soon, I doubt it'll come out as nice as yours, but it looks like so much fun! Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilrathy10 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) That's a pretty sharp build, Man.....Great looking truck....The Italeri wheels and tires look WAY better than the kit's.....Awesome.... I'm thinking a load of bricks or some bags of concrete would look good on there...... Edited June 18, 2015 by kilrathy10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) That's some beautiful detailing. You've got a lot of good load suggestions, and I could see it having a combination of some of them. This would be interesting with a load from a site that's being cleared for construction. The Hudson keeping company with some foundation material and other assorted debris that's been loaded onto it and headed to something like a landfill. What a sick thought though; a Hudson convertible,even in that bad of condition, being used for landfill.
