Goose1957 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I took a little break from model cars and this is my first build coming back. A Revell kit built mostly stock except for a small suspension lift. I wanted to do my usual underhood detailing, but the kit is pretty sparse in detail and the spark plugs are modeled into the engine block. I decided to use my model railroad background and use chalks to weather it. Thanks for looking. Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Seems like most go overboard on the weathering but yours looks just right to me ! A little dirt and grime on slightly oxidized paint , definitely a driver and not headed to the scrap pile . Well done ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Great looking little truck. I like the lightly dusted look on the finish. The more you look at the pictures the more little details start to appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perspective Customs Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Like everyone else has said, the weathering is just right. Looks like an old truck that gets used but still cared for enough to keep it running. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheyenne93 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Looks great. Like that just came off the trail look.👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slotto Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 That's cool. I remember having this kit when I was a kid. It was molded in blue. I built it and gave it to a buddy. He ripped off the stock suspension and added monster truck wheels and tires. Seeing your build took me back to the 80s. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
