Claude Thibodeau Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Hi! Chip Foose is a tremendously gifted designer. Let's assume that "you can't out-Foose Mr. Foose". Therefore, let's go in a totally different direction... Curbside, built with the Eldorod, with roof from Monogram's F100 panel truck grafted, lowered and fitted with shorter rear doors. Lowered stance. Cargo floor and casket scratchbuilt. Rolling stock from Revell of Germany Jag XK-120. Tamya's Linoleum brown + spray net + custom mixed tan hue, distressed & satin cleared. Home made decal. BMF where needed. Hours of fun with styrene! CT
Koellefornia Kid Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 I love this kit! Never thought about a station wagon theme but I really like the idea!

Thank you Oliver! I was undecided as to do this version, or something else quite unusual I had imagined. I'll save my second idea for the next copy of this kit that I find at a right price... CT

It's my second experiment with that "distressed" look, and it confirms that this "trend" is still popular. Beats me... CT

Caskets rental is not common too... is it? The body modifications are very well done as usual and I love your decals... very funny! Another topic of discussion at the next exhibition, you are already well equipped for the next season!!!

Hi Francis! I can't wait for that next gathering. Not a minute too soon. I was a bit worried that the current Covid scare might affect the sensibilities of certains... But it seems that my fellow modelers have a good sense of humour. CT

Goose1957 Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Very nicely done. The paint looks really good, and the bodywork is superb. You build some really cool vehicles. Jeff
Spottedlaurel Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 That's excellent, a lot going on and it's come together very nicely.

You build some really cool vehicles. Jeff Thank you Jeff! Actually, the hardest part was proper finishing of the F100 roof where it meets the top of the rear deck, for the last 3 scale feet at the rear. The "joint" is in a cavity created by the fold on the top of the quarter panel. Not easy to sand polyester putty properly in that notch... CT
