Keep up the weathering. After all, most workhorse rigs don't stay showroom new for very long! At the minimum, they get dusty and faded. At worst, they get dented and damaged. Just remember, keep it restrained. Companies don't want to put out a bad image with "junky" trucks, but they're not going to spend thousands of dollars keeping them "show car" detailed, either. Build it however you like it. I really appreciate builders who can create convincing weathering on their models! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Hi Patrick I agree most companies would keep rigs showroom as to keep a good image but I'm going for an independent (let's face it a company is not likely to come out to an alien crash, I mean the cost of chasing up payment if they did a runner) no I'm going for a poor independent who can just about keep his truck running so will take any job.

So with some heating and a little extension ted helped me fix it. Hope the rest fits ok. Not sure where you found the decal, but that matches a local tow service near me: https://www.santafetowservice.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
