Best match for 1963 Ford Viking Blue Poly
Brizio replied to Bill Eh?'s topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I ran into the same problem years ago when I painted the Cobra Transporter. I check the spray can for a matching color. Even play with different primers. A the end I went with Scalefinishes, they have the perfect match for a Viking Blue. -

It is the commercial version, two door and the back is like a truck. -
I will take a look, thank you David!

Fred Dibnah Land Rover

Thank you Eric! Thank you Garry! Thank you Louis! Thank you David! Thank you Walter! Funny guy too! Impressive to watch him climbing a chimney with a cigarette. I was thinking to scratch build the steam roller or the steam tractor, didn't decide yet witch one. Plus I need to find some reference/measurement. No I didn't post any WIP, only posted on my pages on Facebook and Instagram. Getting lazy lately... It is just few cuts, same for the body. The chassis, you have to cut the gas tank end reposition it. Same fot the exhaust muffler. The body you need to cut it behind after the door, and after the fender. Also all teh inerion etc... Not difficult, but time consuming, and need to be very precise. Above all the chassis. If not you find yourself with one tire that touch the ground and one not, and that mess up the connection with the body... I'm building another 88", I will post photos this time. Another thing, if you transform it into a pickup, you need to scratch build the rear gate. THe kit has a full door. Thank you Matt! -
Just finished one and already had to start on this one. I like Land Rover, so I don't mind. Plus is a commission work, and the time frame to build it could be tricky... Revell Series III "Commercial"... The kit is like the non commercial, pretty good base. This one has a diesel motor instead of a 6 cyl petrol.

Good point. I prefer paint it as well. I will do some testing for sure. For now I'll put on stand by, I have a commission model to build... Is going to take a while... I have anothe project to do.

After watching a documentary and few videos of Fred Dibnah, I decided to build his Land Rover. Fred Dibnah is a legend in the UK, he was a famous steeplejack and also a TV presenter. I start with the Revell Land Rover Series III 109 in 1/24 scale... The last part I added, I made some "dogs" the hooks that keep the ladder to the chimney wall.

Mee too! Pretty fun movie to watch. It's going to take a while, I have a commission build to do first... I always wanted to build one, but never got the chance. One time I got a snap kit, I don't remember almost build it, but after I donated to a kid. I was thinking that too. Mayne paint the front and rear since they seems different color on the original car. Overall looks pretty good.

I always wanted this kit, but newer got one, untill I saw the new Aoshima. The quality of the kit is great, the doors open, and the molding is super clean. Another cool thing is that they sell direct from the US now!

Benvenuto Carlo, I'm Italian too! You'll love here at MCM!

I doubt you can use CAD without arms and legs... It could be the same with scratch building, how many people on this forum scratch build a complex object,(with complex object I mean not bend a plastic rod and consider it scratch building). ? Few only, in the last 10 years on this forum I saw only a handful scratch building a car. Why this? Nobody whant to learn how to scratch build? In the other hand I saw more people start to using 3D software and printers.

Thank you Donato! I ask at the costume person at work if they had a material that could work in 1/25 scale. They gave me to try few pieces, I liked this one because is softer, even after the color is applied. Thank you Jerry! Will see when done! Thank you Bob!

Thank you Carl! Thank you David! Thank you Donato!

I ask at work if they had a material that can suit my project. I work as Model maker for an animation studio.
