1967 Ford F-350 Ramptruck
happy grumpy replied to Zippi's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Looks pretty neat from here Bob, Bummer that the kit has warp parts, from what I here there is a lot of complaints about it, I hope that Moebius will do good on it. This should not have happened. Modern kits are held to a higher standard, I can understand for whatever reasons they had that problem, but this should have been picked up by their QC dept. I hope this will not be a reoccurring issue. At any rate, your model turned out really good. -
Cat D8H Dozer
happy grumpy replied to Warren D's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
great job on the cat . The aftermarket tracks make all the difference. I wish round 2 would update this kit. -
Great improvements on the old build, it's fun to revisit old builds, good memories of yesteryear and compare our skills to what it was. Great job on an already good looking model.

Chevy 3100 AMT

Thanks Mathias Thanks James thank you Cliff. Thanks Joe, the debris in the box are leaves cut in an old blender. nothing like the real thing ! Thank you Doyle, same here, I always felt a strong connection to these old chevy trucks, having learned to drive in one. Thanks Bob, I almost envy you, how I wish I could ride in one of these once again, if only for a day. Thanks David, looks like you hit a tree stump with yours. Great crash effects, they sure could take a beating back then. Thank Tony, I'm glad you like it. Thanks Alan, I find that a weathered old beater has an artistic quality to it, As much as I appreciate a nice clean and shinny model, I can't resist the urge to depict nature 's inevitable decay from time to time. Thank you Steve, The effect was a highly diluted mix of flat clear and very little grey paint applied with an airbrush. Thanks Al, same here, when I was young, these were starting to disappear, and the ones that remained were getting rarer and rusty. Especially in rural areas where I grew up. -
Great looking GTO Ken, that deep blue really shines. Really like your garage.

Welcome to the forum.

Great idea and concept, how quick can you go with the strict minimum. I like it .

I could build 50 of those, here is a well used but in good condition save the rust and dust, that would be a perfect barn find if only pops would sell it. I learned to drive in one of these , I was 8 years old. Dad modified the pedals so I could reach them. I could barely see in front. A lot of good memories of that truck. I just love how that kit goes together. This was how I remember these, they were already getting old and we saw less and less as they were replaced. Thanks for looking.

Moebius 66 Ford F100 4x4
happy grumpy replied to k357's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice take on the F100, great color combo. -
Really neat and original, the wood paint work is awesome.
-
Great take on an iconic movie car.

This a superb build, the color is awesome and despite the issues you had the paint job is nice and shiny. I agree with you ,alclad paint is a dust magnet. I might try their aqua gloss after seeing your results.
