Wow, that looks awesome. Nice work!

and a bidet

love with someone

That is really, really nice looking. So clean. Love it!

Got some work done on the C20 over the weekend, between yardwork and other projects. Unfortunately, I ruined the cab I was working on and had to start over. That cost me about 4 hours. ? I think this one looks a little better though, but I am still bothered by the visible gap/outline where the big window would be. Any ideas on how to fill that? I tried medium super glue last night and ended up with a wide bead that looked terrible and I couldn't sand it without destroying the adjacent detail. So, new cab. I got the chassis painted, still some detail to go back & do. Also painted some of the body with the chalky white paint, including the converted long bed. I'm happy with the long bed conversion. I played around with sanding and rubbing the paint on the spare roof from the second kit, which will now be the roof I use since I have to use the cab from that kit. I kind of like the weathering/aged look of the paint worn away to primer and I may just use it as-is, except that I need to do a little more work on the right rear corner where the rubbing is too linear. Any comments/advice on the weathering are welcome.

Because of this I have sworn to never buy a Rustoleum product again. I despise the corporate takeovers and subsequent ruining of old, quality companies. I've tried to stock up on what I can and noticed there isn't much out there. Time to figure out what replaces the old standby. Sorry, I guess this isn't particularly helpful but I had to vent.

strike a match

That turned out great. Nice piece for a diorama.

building scrambled models

Spring in the Northwest. Weather forecast? Look out the window.

This one isn't a long bed, but the small window was much more common from what I recall seeing on the road in the '60s and '70s. This was the AMT '55 Chevy stepside kit, I built this about 25 years ago. Dechromed, small window conversion, side mounted spare tire and straight 6-cylinder "Thriftmaster" engine.

scramble the parts

Very cool and unique subject. The diorama is outstanding too!

Looking great. Like the others, I like your color combination. I'm working on a '64 C20 long bed replica of a truck I used to own. It's in the WIP section.

of model kits

Very nice. One of my all time favorite Chevys.

Great looking cabover. Well done. Very clean looking and great paint.

the world is

That is absolutely fantastic. I love the choice of the nailhead. Just a wonderful job there and a great looking T rod. Superb!

I packed everything up 25 years ago because life got busy and I couldn't enjoy the hobby anymore. I wanted to do some building several times over the years but just wasn't set up to build to my satisfaction. I finally have a decent setup and started building again. I'm glad I kept my tools and the majority of my kits. I will enjoy this hobby in retirement. But I plan to just build for me. (well, my wife actually loves the model cars too, so that's a bonus). I won't win any contests, but I will do the best I can with my skills, physical abilities and as much patience as I can muster up. I enjoy what I have on the shelf now and hope to continue in that vein.

That is a lot of work. I don't know that I could do it, or would have the patience to see it through. Good luck with your project. Looks fun!

Very nice! Great looking truck.

That's what I do so that I can get an idea of what things are really selling for. I can't imagine spending that kind of money (hundreds of dollars) on any model kit, but I guess there isn't any one kit that means that much to me. I'll just build something else. There are so many subjects I want to build, I will stay busy for years with "affordable" models. But then I'm not what you would consider a "collector" either.
