Current build.53 F100 4x4

[Oldschool4x4]

Hey all, new to the forum, I build trucks, so here is my latest build on the bench. AMT 53 F-100. Doing this one a bit different by building backwards in a way. Started with doing the body work and paint first, then I'll build an engine, then the chassis. This just happens to be my best paint job to date. Enjoy.Looking forward to talking with other truck builders.

 That truck looks Awsome and I will be watching to see how it turns out.

if you don't mind me asking how did you do the weathering?? It is the best weathering that I have ever seen on a model car.

Thanks.. Well the weathering went something like this, Six months ago I sprayed on a coat of light grey primer followed by some red oxide primer, then some flat black and then a heavy coat of gloss black, Then last weekend I put it in a zip lock bag and sprayed it with Easy Off, Let that set for a day, then hosed it off, that left it pretty much as you see it, except then I did the detail with artists oils. Hope that make sense.

Update: Got the front axle built, was a bit fun trying to keep it all in order while I assembled it, but its there, just need the steering put in. Now on to the rear, thinking I will have a PTO coming out the back so I can run a sawmill, hay bailer, or just put on a prop and back down into the lake and make rooster tails.
