Revell '29 roadster pick up


Recommended Posts

I'm very happy to finish this one. It's a kitbash with the Revell '29 Model pickup kit and the new '29 Model A roadster kit. I used the channeled chassis, suspension, radiator and nailhead from the roadster kit. I carved the "extra" floor from the roadster kit into the raised floor in the RPU cab. The wheels and tires are from the Sock-it-to-Me Corvette. The rest is from the pickup kit or scratch built. I wanted this to look like something that's got some salt and strip time in it's past and now it's just a cool hot rod that it's owner enjoys. I tried for a weathered bare metal look, which I think I was semi-successful in achieving. The first shots are sans the top and tank which are now permanent fixtures. The racy door panels I made from a collage of old pulp fiction cover art. The bed is stained balsa. Enough words, here's the pics. Comments and criticisms welcome.
