Do you know this 1:1 C cab???
mchook replied to Tijuanataxi's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That's a cool looking C cab. It reminds me of a tandem axle truck that was running around the car shows when I was younger. -

My model building days are coming to an end

I couldn't say it any better. Stay strong & thanks for all your kind words, inspiration and great builds over the years. Don't be a stranger around here. -
I had this horrible Monogram 32 Ford kit & a bunch of left over Model A parts so this is what I came up with. I tried to sell the 32 kit for $7.00 on ebay & couldn't, so when I opened it I saw why.? Not much detail at all & the fenders had the chassis molded in it so I wasn't going to use it. But after looking at the parts I had I figured, why not. I shortened the chassis to make the cab & bed fit better & the bed is from an old early iron roadster pickup. It came out pretty good, Ill get some better pictures outside tomorrow, it's raining like a cow wizzing on a flat rock today.

Thanks, some of the orange is from the product & some is tamiya weathering powders. Yes, it goes on right over the paint.

Nice start, I'm finishing up one somewhat like this now. I love old A & T Model Ford trucks. -

GMC Tow Truck fuel tank?
mchook replied to Andrew D the Jolly Roger's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yup, right behind the seat & the gas cap is behind the drivers side door handle. I built this version years ago. -
Yellowstone is my favorite show right now. I don't watch alot of TV but I make sure that I catch Yellowstone & Animal Kingdom. My wife and I convinced my son to watch it and he loves it too. At first he didn't want to watch something with "cowboys & Indians" but we told him it's more like the cowboy mafia. It's hard to say who's going to live or die, they don't seem to have a hard time killing off main characters these days. If you haven't seen the show, give it a chance it's pretty good.

What is needed to build this?
mchook replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I did this one with the old monogram coupe body. I built my own chassis (first time) & it wasn't that hard. That way you get the length & drop you need. I can't wait to see you do the one in your picture, it's pretty cool looking. -

1929 Model A Ford wrecker
mchook replied to mchook's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Thanks Juergen. I used "sophisticated finishes" rust paint and tamiya weathering powders for the rust. The rust holes are exactly the way you said, grind from the back until it's really thin then break out your hole. Here's a picture of the stuff I used on this truck for weathering, it's not alot of stuff but it all works well together. Thanks again and happy building!!! And thanks to everyone else too for all the great comments. -
1960 Ford F-100

I use this all the time. I found that if you use the solution sparingly, put it in a zip lock bag & let it sit a few hours or overnight you get the beat results. Good luck with it, it's lots of fun to use. Here's my latest using this stuff.

1929 Model A Ford tow truck
mchook replied to mchook's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Thanks guys. I guess it could go either way. It's bad enough to be junk but good enough to still use. I got the adjustable tow bar built & it's about finished. I'll get some better pics later & post them under glass. Thanks again everyone for the comments.
