That would make a realistic and solid dump bed, could bend up the metal so it looked liked a well used bed. I think that is way beyond my skill level!! I'm amazed at the work people on this forum do in brass!!

I thought about trying that, it would be a first attempting something like that. I dont think getting the measurements or pictures or referance material would be all that hard, I would be more concerned with getting everything "square" on the basic body. I think the best way would be to build a fixture to hold everything where it needs to be then move on to the "details". I also thought that after everything was glued together taking a small tip soldering iron and trying to replicate welded seams, might look pretty cool! But on the other hand it would be a LOT quicker to get a resin one for $40 !!!!!!

Great looking Bronco, Very clean build!!!!!

I'm a little bit surprised that there has never been a 1 ton pickup based dump truck given how many you see around! I think it would be a pretty good seller!

I would like to see a styrene belly tanker! Maybe with an as yet undone late 50's early 6o's pickup truck as s tow vehicle! That would increase the interest in the kit, although I would take one in styrene In just about any form!

Thanks, I checked the website and he didn't have any but I'm going to contact him and see if he will have any available.

Hey guys does anyone know a good source for a 1ton resin dump bed? our club is having a dump truck project and I thought I would do a smaller landscaping truck. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi all, finished up the interior, tried to have lots of paper and junk around. Made a quick clip board with delivery paper work! Also cut the Gage's off the weld tanks and made some caps. Still need to put some slots in the caps! Comments welcome!

Nice! I really like the color Combo looks awesome!

Made up a rack to hold the tanks, needs some more work! I'm debating if I should cut the Gage's off the tanks, I don't think they would be on for transport but then I'll have to make up some caps for the tanks, I could put the Gage's in the seat in a box!!

I'll check out some pictures, they do look a little heavy handed on the weathering! Maybe I'll tone them down a notch or two!

I'm going To give that a try with the dullcoat, it looks really good! Thanks for the tip!

Good tips! I have been testing some stuff to dull down the chrome, I think I will experiment with the dull coat. I agree on the roof I will sand thru for a better look, I didn't like the roof, I thought it looked to "brushed". I'm going to build a rack for the welding tanks and I also agree with scratching up the bed and tailgate more. I have a lot more work to do, thanks for the tips and comments!

Hi guys, I've been trying some weathering on the Mobieus 69 pickup. I've only weathered 2 models and they were ok. I'm not finished with this yet. Give me some opionons, ideas and some constructive criticism! I think I'm a bit heavy handed with the weathering, I'm not going for rust out just more grungy and worn out. I'm using paint and pastel chalk. Let me know what you think!

I really like that school bus! Did you narrow the whole body length wise or just taper the front in? Seeing what you did with it opens up a lot of front ends that could go on it! Awesome idea!

Looks awesome! What color are you going with?

Awesome ! Love the dual tail lights!

Thank for the comments ! The tires are the kit tires and the mags are from a Johan Eldorado kit.

Hi everyone, here is an AMT 1962 Thunderbird that I finished recently. I was going for a mid 60's street custom look, lowered with custom paint, interior and wheels. This is a pretty nice kit overall with good detail and it builds fairly easy with some minor fit issues. Paint is a silver base with a magenta nail polish fade and some orange nail polish fade! Comments welcome!! Thanks for looking!

Good looking model, I like the unique color choice!

Thanks for the comments! The magnet idea is great! I was going to try and make a "clip" of some sort to hols onto the fender but I like the magnet idea way better!!! Thanks!

Hi all, I finished another build that was on the bench fora long time! A 1948 Chevy coupe that is a replica-ish car that my dad had when he and my mom first got married in 1952! The Galaxy limited kit is really nice and went together well, had do some tweaking here and there but overall a great kit! My dads car had red skirts on it, I have them painted and ready to go on but I was trying to figure out a way to make them removable without ruining the paint. Any ideas would be a great help! Comments always welcome! Thanks for looking!

Beautiful build of a beautiful car!

Thank you everyone for the nice comments!I really enjoy looking at all the fantastic work the people on this forum do, it kinda motivates me to get more building done!

Hi everyone, I just finished this up they other day. I built this as a replica for a friend of mine, it was a car he owned in the 60's. The paint is dark blue metallic with a blue interior. His car did not have wire wheels but the steel wheels with hubcaps. The tires are AMT white walls with the rims and hubcaps from the parts box so they are close to what he had on his car.
