Chuck Most Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 This is the @IceMan Collections printed resin kit. It was a limited run and I managed to nab one of the last of the milk truck version. After debating on a paint scheme I thought "why not just use the supplied graphics?" It's tubbed at both ends to represent an "aired out" suspension with Pegasus wheels and tires. Paint is good old Krylon chalky rattle can paint, distressed with salt, Vallejo rust washes, AK Interactive weathering pencils, and Monroe powders. Inside is a GM tilt column, a ridiculous stereo system, the air suspension components... And a crate containing a quartet of milk bottles. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Pretty cool. Some of the best rust and weathering I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Great weathering technique, I remember seeing those when I was young, and later on as an adult in junkyards , the look is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitroMarty Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 To cool and totally spot on for what folks are doing with vintage delivery vans in the real world.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Outstanding model! I love these things finished like yours. Jimmy Flintstone offers several versions with varying wheelbases. I hope more builders will post their versions here for us to be inspired by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olskoolrodder Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 That's a really cool build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Absolutely fantastic! I built the JF Resin Metro truck last year, with a similar finish. I don't know if Ice Man Collections ship to the UK, but it may be too costly for a pensioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could, but it would be easier to just visualize a .040" styrene rectangle painted semigloss black. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
