ranma Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Recently aquired from a trade deal.. I used Krylon short cuts oil rubbed bronze for the body, Krylon satin boot's brown for the interior. The driver lost a hubcap which ended up in a boys bedroom (POLAR EXPRESS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I like your little '49 Ford. If you want or need a hub cap for that let me know. Nice natural looking finish like a gently used vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I left it off for the "lost hubcap look" The idea came from the Movie Polar Express. The hubcap in the movie is from a '49 Ford so I wanted to do a movie tie in to that..

I'm not familiar with the movie so I didn't realize the connection with the hub cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Old movie, vaguely recall it was a comedy? Nice Shoebox Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Very nice work. The oil rubber bronze is a very cool color isn't it? I've used it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly, It's all CGI with Tom Hanks as most of the people in the 2004 Christmas Movie. There are Model rail road set's made in HO and Up of the train. Since there is a '49 ford hubcap in a couple of shot's in the movie that's where I got the idea from. See the photo of a screen shot from Polar Express..

heyjohnxx Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Here's me in front of the 1225 which is the model for the engine in Polar Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Nice. I like the missing hub cap tie in to the movie. I haven't watched it in years but was a good film from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
