Smoke Wagon Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 This old girl started off as part of AMT’s Chopped T combo kit. Paint is Tamiya TS-9 green over Rustoleum black fenders. Modifications include: plug wires, wooden bed rails, a side mounted spare, the blank area between the bed and cab filled, fender-mounted rear license plate, and the wheelbase lengthened to center the rear wheels in their respective wheel wells, and finally, some Oregon plates. Enjoy the photos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelbuilder Mark Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Looking really good! Nice job on the build, and the cool back drop photography on the 'street" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I can't remember every seeing one of these built in a stock configuration let alone to this degree of finish. I like the retro pictures, this sets one's mind to a different time when looking at this build. So many fine details that some might not remember that were part of this vehicle in its day.

Smoke Wagon Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Thank you very much guys. Your kind words mean a lot to a novice like myself. As for the first two photos, the backdrop was a picture of a street in my hometown, dated in the late 20’s I’d assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 The wheels make all the difference. Most of the ones we see are just painted mostly black, which is also correct, but I rarely see modelers go to the time consuming step of the three-color wheels.

I started the wheels by spraying them with rustoleum satin brown, then I dry brushed the spokes, brush painted rims and hubs with flat black craft paint, sprayed the wheels with rustoleum semi-gloss clear, then used a silver sharpie on the rims. Kind of an involved process but they do fancy the truck up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Macleod Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 This is fantastic. I have a friend who just finished up a New Zealand export version of the Model T (a real one) and your model looks almost exactly like it. I am a multiple Model T owner in 1:1 scale and I have built the only complete set of all six of the Improved Fords in 1:25 scale. You, my friend NAILED IT!
