BIGTRUCK Posted February 11 This one been taking the back seat for awhile so now its time to get it done. Cut some sheet plastic for the interior panels and floor and start beefing up the frame. J/F resin cab and tires with wheels. Grille ,bumper and door handles are Monogram 1950 pickup with chrome removed. Seat , glass and some other items are from the Monogram kit also.

BIGTRUCK Posted February 11 Updates on this resin dont change much early in the build as most of the work is hidden to make parts fit. Thin walled the hood to fit better. Have the stance close enough for my eyes. Bumper and grille fitted and pinned .Now start the interior , the window area needs some thinning on the inside.

Chariots of Fire Posted February 15 Can I make a suggestion? I like what is coming together but I think the front of the hood needs to be rounded out more. I found this photo on line that shows how the 1:1 rig looks. If you thinned out the inside of the hood at the front it might mean pouring some casting resin in the nose when you round it out. Just sayin'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGTRUCK Posted February 18 I know the hood front is somewhat square but in order to get that rounded look I would have to cut out a pretty big piece and re do the leading edge. Plus there are accents coves that go under the side hood trim that this hood also lacks. Im happy with it, I spent some time on it. I have many kits to build and Im not getting any younger😁 Interior is all trimmed to fit, and floor mounts in.. Door panels made just need some details on them. Dash, seat and part of the floor are kit parts , the rest is made from Evergreen Plastic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIGTRUCK Posted February 26 With the interior tub done, engine done, I started detailing out the one piece tires/rims , they are J/F resin items also. Once the tires are done I will focus on the door panels and headliner and start fitting the glass in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbill Posted March 3 Love the color scheme, but I can’t help but wonder how it would look if you brought some white onto the hood ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
