53 Ford single seater

[DumpyDan]

I started with a AMT 53 ford kit and a photo for inspiration.  I only took 3 pictures during the build the rest are finished kit.  I started by cutting the roof but it is a little trickier then you might think.  I scratch built the front and rear racks, the ladder is just sheet plastic, tools and junk are extra stuff and crumpled up leaves from the yard.  The driver is from a kit that had some Gangsters in it and a little surgery to him also turn his fedora "hat from the 30's" into a baseball cap.  I didn't know how to make mud, so I looked up on Youtube and some guy use Hot Choc mix and white glue but I didn't have any but I did have Instant Pudding.  This worked pretty good you will see on the model.   The hard part was to make the dirt on the body, I use dull coat and blew dust from an old vacuum bag and just let it land on the body and wheels.   Thanks for looking everyone.

I love it. I remember as a child the local lumber yard had just such a truck they would use for small deliveries. You really captured the look with this build, very creative idea.
