bzak Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Howdy, First time posting here. I usually build airplanes, but occasionally will break up the creative logjam with something automotive. This is the 1/25 AMT model T. I intended to build the stock closed cab version, but didn't like the way the interior fit inside the body. So, I built a farm truck using Balsa strips and coffee stir sticks (thanks Starbucks!). Weathered the wooden bed with diluted inks. Enjoy!

Tom Geiger Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Very nicely done! I love the old workman modified trucks. It's so Americana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Very cool truck! I like the wooden seat built around the stock cushion. Great weathering - looks like it had a hard life on the farm! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Nice model. I'll bet weathering techniques from aircraft help a lot when you're slumming on an auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Nicely done! And good to see that you're getting more "bang for your buck" from Starbucks than their average customer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzak Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Howdy, Thanks for all the kind comments. The wood actually looks better in person, the photos seemed to brighten it up a bit. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
