modelfink Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Hey guys, This is my current build. It's a 29 Ford roadster pickup "Gow Job". A stripped down, hopped up, pre war hot rod before they were called hot rods. Something a kid in the mid thirties would take to the dry lakes. This is a quick little build I am doing for a YouTube community build project for Ford Truck Month. The body and bed are AMT. The rest is from the Revell 31 Woody. I scratch built the firewall, inner doors and a few engine details. A fun little build. Edited January 16, 2017 by modelfink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelfink Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 That wood in the bed looks very realistic. How did you do that?Thanks, I used wood coffee stir sticks glued to a thin sheet of styrene then painted with a wash of black craft acrylic. I also used black pastel powders in the darker areas.

I think generally speaking, this type of build is on the rise in the 1:1 world, so we will see more scale versions as they are covered in magazines and such.
