Another 55 pickup. I have a twist on it.. I chopped and painted it a couple of years back, but put it away. So thanks to Clay and Tonio...I've got the urge again. So what is different. Well I had it painted and it looked like a blob..a bright purple blob. So into the pond it went and came out back the way it was. So I've Z'd the rear frame and cut out the bed, made a wooden bed for it, cut the running boards and refit the floor and cab. I also reversed the tailgate, cut out pockets in the rear where a pair of 52 caddie taillights will poke out. I've also fitted the trailer hitch to it, needs to be finished and attached. This is where I started... got it stripped down re did the hood hinge , shaved the running boards, and lowered the body in the rear and made a wood bed for it

Only quad cam is Ross Gibson..for TF

Quite good at Bovine Scatology ??

Gotta agree with Tapani...but if its gonna get buried and want to do some work... Product ID: 85-0880 '55 Ford PU basic builder series.... it is 1/24th

I agree. Most of the time I remove the detailer and go back to Tamiya XF 1 and Isopropyl...Mixed 1 to 7,8,9,10...as Mark said..it does differ. I will also say the Detailer (black) works GREAT on defroster vents in the cowl. It does seem to have a purple tint over chrome..you must have chrome CLEAN for it to stick

If you want aerosals with POP....HOK thru black Gold.... Tangelo Pearl

Best part of this is....Harry didn't touch this one!!!!!

Ahhh Memory lane.........hope the cab was latched when getting in......

Yep....I gotta thank Cranky.......

MS word....import a image into it and then you can shrink it without any loss Damncranky taught me and I used it on my 47 interior found a google image used MS to size it in scale also works on Acme platemaker images

I learned an interesting lesson with this. This was the first hidden link I've found in 35,000 pictures...my filters did not work I AM TRULY SORRY AND EMBARRASSED ABOUT THIS......NEVER AGAIN THANKS TO BRUNO, HARRY AND MY FRIENDS HERE FOR THE SUPPORT!!

Lets not jump the gun....nick didn't have a computer for a while .....and I do remember the learn to build a model thread...............

I don't think he cut the top.......everything else!!!!!! :D

Real.......just cannot figgure out the oil stains under the front.........

Donn will tell you 2 parts paint 1 part cheap lacquer thinner.....34 psi, multiple mist coats....

and another.....this is / was a fiat!!!

I agree...Gregg, send a couple of issues out....if I like it I'll send a check .....sometime..........OH IT DOESN"T WORK THAT WAY MICE is correct unless it is Trackballs.......

Two names to look up Bob Downie....get his airbrush book..... Donn Yost.......his DVDs are killer Start with these gents and their techniques..in a few years you too can put down a great paint job. Me I learn each and every time I paint how to improve!!

James, lotsa great advice here... I might also suggest The book airbrushing models by Bob Downie..I have both editions.... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&P=SM&I=LXUZK1
