chunkypeanutbutter Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Built as an ideal shop van for my future rod shop. Base kit is the newest issue of the Revell '77 Chevy Van. I didn't use the engine... can't really see it anyways unless you turn the thing over, and I don't have any diorama yet that requires that. The paint is Colorplace flat black with lots of decals from various sources, including my initials in Woodland Scenics dry-transfers. This was then, of course, rusted with MM acrylic Rust paint to form surface rust and drips, then rust powder to accentuate the same. The interior is painted with Rustoleum Orange and trimmed with Rustoleum Gloss Black. I also added side windows made from a Coke bottle to disguise the fact that there's no interior in the rear... Just in case anyone looks in there, I tossed in that motorcycle I scratchbuilt a while back. Wheels are stock, but the rear tires are AMT Goodyear slicks from the Parts Pak. Front end was dished down considerably to give a good stinkbug stance. A few real-world important things are missing, but this had been in pieces, 75% complete for so long.... I grabbed it off the table upstairs and assembled it in a little over two days. Questions, comments, etc. welcome.
MGL Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I like this, great job on the weathering and the stance is perfect.

Danno Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I don't know if a beater is a good advertisement for a shop, but to each his own.
