mchook Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 This was an old built 53 Ford kit I had that needed something done to it. I changed it to a 55 by sticking in a y-block & changed the grill. I built the Manley style working wrecker boom & body from Plastruct & evergreen styrene. I like doing junkers, I know it's not as cool as the pristine models that are done but they're fun to do.

Tom Geiger Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) I know it's not as cool as the pristine models that are done but they're fun to do. Actually many of us think junkers are cooler than shiny. Done right it takes a lot of work and an artist's eye. You've done good here!

wayne swayze Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I think you did a great job on this! I like it! The rust on the lower cab corners and fenders is very realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
