OK, I thought I’d finally get a start on my first holiday vehicle (in this case a truck), by beginning my Halloween themed truck. For this project, I’ve selected the AMT ’53 Ford pickup. Colors will (naturally), be orange and black. I’ll depart from what I’ve generally been doing, by using Tamiya lacquers on it, as I‘ve seen others use it with such great results.
When the entire display is done, I anticipate, at a minimum, bales of hay & pumpkins, perhaps a scarecrow, skeleton or ghost, a couple of headstones, and perhaps some bats as well. Fog might be nice too, using some Angel Hair or cotton; that will take some experimentation though.
This will be an on again, off again project for me. If I had planned better, I would liked to have finished this before Halloween this year, but that doesn’t really seem doable at this point. I’ll also be doing a Christmas truck (amongst others), following similar concepts, but it will be finished by this Christmas, of that I’m quite confident.
