sdrodder Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 wow beats the heck out of mine i built I kustomized mine with the babymoon wheels from revell 65 chevy truck and chaved the handels but stuff didnt fit afterward and paint didnt come out good. Its together but will take it apart and chop it and lower it to da ground. Good job on it
RadRidesByDan Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Hey Gary, welcomr to the MCM Grand ......nice build...that truck is awsome lookin' Bear
gary westervelt Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 Thanks guys.After settin here lookin at the pics I'm thinkin of stripping the paint form the cab and bed.Didn't paint the marker lights,bed floor should have wood not blue and few other details I'ld like to do.One thing that I forgot to mention is the fan belt is actually masking tape I cut to width and painted black.Has a better apperance than the box plastic one does.

No need to strip the paint. It would be a shame to "deconstruct" your model! The marker lights can simply be detail painted with a small brush, and the trim done with foil. Same with the bed floor... you could detail paint the "wood" with various mixtures of brown/yellow/red/black. or even use woodgrain decals to make the bed floor look like wood. All of that can easily be done to your existing model without "undoing" anything you've already done.
Harry P. Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Oh, and you can also foil the window trim, door handles, etc., all without disturbing your previous work.
