RAMBENNA Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 ok so on this build, I started a couple of years a go, got everything done just needed to be assembled but for some reason I put it back in the box and never finished it. the other day I found it and saw that I just needed to put the subassemblies together and here you go. Painted Tamiya TS-19 METALLIC BLUE, with hand painted wood bed floor. thank for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Very nice clean looking build. Great paint and color. Your hand painted bed wood looks better than most decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatz4u Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 very nice, color looks great, well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 There's a lot to like here but the two things that really stick out to me are the paint (great color and perfectly applied too) and the hand-painted bed. Question: the "owner" bought all that Edelbrock Elite series engine dress-up stuff, but ran a stock manifold? : ) Good stuff, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Very nice, well worth effort of getting out the box and finishing it off. The bed looks really effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoDak1 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 You'll have to share your technique for painting that bed because it is perfect! Im rushed with memories right now, I had the same edition of this kit when I was young and remember very clearly the windshield and blinkers did not fit AT ALL. I was too impatient to let the glue dry and the box kept falling apart, I eventually threw it across my room as hard as I could. A conversation with my dad soon followed. Thanks for digging out this gem and giving it a proper treatment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for digging out this gem and giving it a proper treatment! thanks Jeffery I use a dry brush technique for the wood grain. 1st paint it a solid brown color then several lighter colors in a dry brush On 7/18/2020 at 9:11 AM, BeakDoc said: That’s just dang nice. thanks Chris On 7/18/2020 at 9:13 AM, crazyjim said: Awesome truck. thanks Jim On 7/18/2020 at 5:19 PM, carrucha said: Nice truck.
