stunning !! cant waight to see it painted

thnx guys !

nice work !

the visor that was on it (made that on the previous build) didnt cut it .. thick and bulky so i took that of and awwww howcuteisit without a visor too cute so i made a new visor made out of 2 separate parts some bondo on the seem glued in the headlight housing keeping the style abit vintage custom

hmm cool cant waight to see some gold

a while back , and in the meantime i learned more and gt more into detail ... i build a custom truck from a italeri opel blitz kit . now i was never statisfied with it , should have been a flatbed hauler .. now a tractor .. no trailer ... wheels too big .. (tryres) so after a while i now decided to rebuild this one .. give it a complete overhaul .. the most important piece of this build is the cab .. the rest can be scrapped .. the kit what i made of it back then wheels > i either go with smal diameter wheels and tyres and go real low or a bit more truck like and bigger .. first made up some larger ones .. now i used 1/16 beetje rims with low profile tyres from yard sale toy car .. the tyres actually are pretty nice and the overall wheel diameter now is good (for large wheels) the center is temporary i would make custom hub caps if i go with these wheels i removed the headlights .. and made up some rings and drilled and sanded to make a kind of 40's ford look in the end i didnt liked it .. it needs to have headlights with a housing and bezel .. stick out .. and keep the more classic feel .. so i sanded the inserted 40's ford-ish lights smooth with the fender .. leaving the hole .. and now the headlights fit partially in that hole kind of half sunken .. i could bondo the seams so its one with the fender .. kind of cool and something i didnt see a lot cut out the original grille , will make a custom grille and the front bumper will get a addition and become lower to the ground (same as the running boards now i'm in doubt .. will i when its time to ... paint it gloss or weather it a bit ... ... i kind of like the weathering idea .. more fun to do ... i always have so much fun making a weathered look ....

nice stuff blair .. you are a building machine with all those awsome build you push out

thnx wayne , well we call that gamma chrome (dutch modelbuilders do( ... gamma is a diy market / store here in holland ... and they have their own brand of rattle cans ... gamma brand .. the silver metallic just looks so chrome ... its such cooool stuff .. always sprays 100% good , never even had any orange peel look , no wrinkles .. stuf is soooo thin its almost like chrome water when you spray it into a bowl out of the can .. just stays watery for a long long time and you can take all the time and brush it on parts by hand .. or and thats how i do it .. take a wooden meat stick (the thin sate ones) with a point on one side and dip it in the paint ans apply it on your parts .. i have used it so often now i have like a way to apply it .. i put like a drop on the point of the stick and just make it flow in the part ... for tiny parts i take less and just tip them ... stuff like bolts and dash knobs , wheel nuts are tiny and this stuff with this technique of aplying always works 100% this said .. they recently changed cans , like a new looking can ... and while that still spray's like chrome out of the can .. its very hard to use a brush or stick .. its just not the same in a weird way ... i still have a old can and that works great but thats running low now ... maybe its just me ....or that one can plus is .. its so easy .. its there when you need it , no mixing no filling a airbrush .. just spray and done and a can last ages and ages .... i also use the filling primer as primer from that brand , same as black and stuff .. also works flawless every time .. my mercury is painted with gamma rattle cans > black semigloss as base with 3 layers of clear coats from the gamma brand i have a very very nice airbrush set up and still never used it ... gamma primer unsanded gamma semi gloss black gamma high gloss clear coat

stunning work .. oh and i love the windshield sketch .. i think it looks great
