Lunajammer Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Despite the age of this kit (tooling), building it was a delight. The 65 parts count kept construction uncomplicated and with many parts fully visible, detailing was fun too. Seam clean up was better than expected considering the age of the kit, with the exception of the wheel spokes. The is was my first effort at any full body weathering. The flat paint really takes the washes and chalk pastels, decals were home made. It's one of those kits I didn't intend to detail much but it drew me in. Here is the build thread.

afx Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I love it. I have the similar AMT kit. This really makes me want to build it.
wayne swayze Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 That's really nice Mike! Good colour choices, great decaling and the wheels look awesome! Two thumbs up.
sjordan2 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Wonderful. Great job on realistic light weathering.
Jim B Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Well done on the Model T. I like it. Any plans for the Bell Telephone decals?
Lunajammer Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Well done on the Model T. I like it. Any plans for the Bell Telephone decals? I would've been glad to offer them to you Jim since I knew I'd never use them, but someone already scooped them up during the build. Thanks to everyone for the good vibes. I appreciate your kindness. I welcome all comments.
Jim B Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Not a problem. Just curious, that's all. Where's the hand crank?
Lunajammer Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Very observant. I wanted it on the floor when I took the pics but forgot until I was almost done and didn't want to reshoot. I don't know much about Model Ts but I didn't think folks left it in except when starting so I'd like to display it with it on the floor.
Jim B Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I didn't think the hand crank was removable. I thought it was pinned in place. Shows how much I know about Model T!
hooknladderno1 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 BEE-U-T-FUL! Fantastic work on this build! Love all the details AND execution! Great! David
slusher Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 super nice build Mike. Real nice weathering not over done. Outstanding...
Lunajammer Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks Carl, and all of you for the kind words. Jim, the crank thing started bugging me so I tried researching it and I don't see any examples of the crank being out of an operational vehicle so I think you're right. That thing dangling out while driving didn't make sense to me but I think I'm going to glue it in.
Mister Twister Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Thats a very nice build...The subtle weathering looks great. Nice job!
