Pierre- I LOVE how this one is coming together! I stashed five or six of these kits when they came back out, but so far I haven't yet built a weathered one.

Hay chuck how about trying to do a copy of the one in your back yard B)

P/S I wish I had a clunker like that in my yard dont think the misses would approve tho it would save me mowing the grass lol :lol:

Hi Pierre,

the same Kit is waiting on my bench to get started. I had the same idea, to make a "workaholic"-truck. But not sure this time, how far i will go with it. Just make an exercise on another truck.

your cabine looks great - the weathering is perfect!

what will you do with the chromeplated parts?

What does mean dullcote ?

There is a product called dullcote that can be sprayed on a shiny surface to make it appear dull or less shiny.

There are typically 4 levels of clear one can spray on a surface:

1. High Gloss- for the shiniest of finishes, mainly on show cars

2. Gloss- for a shiny surface finish, usually used to replicate a factory paint job.

3. Semi-gloss- for those parts that typically have a little shine to them, like chassis parts, underhood, etc.

4. Flat or dullcote- these are parts that have no shine to them.

Hope this helps!
