Chuck Most Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 This is a reissue of the Honcho ('90's black plastic), with the plow from the '77 GMC reissue, 6-bolt wheels pirated from a Datsun 720, and the inline six from the MPC '78 Pacer, I still might grunge up the engine a bit, and maybe add a few more rust spots and perhaps some mud, but it's close enough to call for now.
thatz4u Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Looks like it has been through too many winters. Nice work
wayne swayze Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Nice detailing on the plow. Good weathering but should be a bit more muddy IMO. I like it!
Helix Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Looks good Chuck, needs a few dents to compliment the rust holes
Stray Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 nice build. Don't see many of those kind of things over here. Well done.
slusher Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Great build Chuck and super weathering and not over done....
mikemodeler Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Looks great Chuck, I have that same kit waiting to be built one day. Nice weathering and like the engine swap you did.
Dominik Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 interesting basic kit. came out very nice. like your weathering. not too much, just enough.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I always love your weathering. This is no exception.
Chuck Most Posted May 29, 2015 Author Posted May 29, 2015 Thanks guys! Here it is finished (though I'm STILL toying around with the idea of sticking a flasher on it somewhere). I made a few small strips to cover up the mounting pins for the mirror arm. Somehow, I didn't notice that I never painted them until I looked at the pics. So... those are painted now, and the engine bay was given a grimy wash. I'm happy enough with it now.
Sixties Sam Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Very nice! Looks like many trucks around here in the winter. One suggestion (nit-pick?) - I would add just a little rust around those rust-through's. If it rusted clear through at those places, I think there would be some rust showing in an area about two inches wide above them. Great work! Sam
disabled modeler Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Looks nice Chuck.... I have one of those trucks but want to make it the older version with the round headlamps and painted grille area.
gatorincebu Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 You did a good job on it. I'm not used to seeing trucks like that. Having grown up in Florida and now living in the Philippines. But I did have a couple of the Jeep Grandwagoneers. Good vehicles. Be Well Gator
kruleworld Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 i like the weathering, but the holes in the body took to straight and regular. maybe you could rough up the edges a bit with a hobby knife. rust holes tend to be irregular in shape http://image.hotrod.com/f/35960449+w660+h495+cr1/mopp-1203-01%2Brepairing-mopar-rust-metal-magic%2Bbadly-rusted-mopar.jpg
