Smoke Wagon Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Built box stock except for the turn signal lever and ladder rack. This is my first heavily weathered build, so any criticisms and tips are welcomed. Paint is (was) Rustoleum 2X gloss white. Fender is in satin gray, and the hood’s finish was a happy little accident. Rust holes and dents were made with hot needles and a hobby knife. Anyways, here it is, your average 2-year-old Dodge from the UP: Thanks for looking.

Jim B Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Great looking Dodge. I like the rack, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Nice build...some realistic weathering...I've seen old trucks with the mashed top edge of the tailgate like that, looks like metal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Excellent weathering, you picked the perfect color to show the rust. The rust , grime and dents make it a perfect used truck. This my favorite body style dodge pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are good looking trucks (except when they’re weathered into swiss cheese). Dodge’s Adult Toys were pretty cool as well. That makes me wonder if Round2 is able to reissue the Warlock; that one’s my favorite from the Adult Toy lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keavdog Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 That looks awesome. The rear bumper is my favorite part - that looks so real. Only suggestion would be to put a light wash over the lumber in the bed. Otherwise it looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchook Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 That came out great! Your weathering is perfect, not overdone at all. It's funny, I've built a bunch of these Dodge trucks and I always make the hood flat black too. Great minds I guess.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
