It's possible to write a long-winded account of this "model", but the real short version is that this Monster Jam's vehicle body was "cast" from a plastic 1/24 scale Jada 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 using only a blue paper shop towel, white and yellow carpenter's glue, water-based wood filler and water putty, plus gobs of patience, experimenting and learning. This is the third such vehicle formed in this manner, the first being a 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline and the second a 2006 Dodge Charger R/T.

The Mustang model involved considerably more time and effort to construct as a separate grille distinct from the paper cast had to be made and attached to the body.

The decals used are at least 55 years old from plastic kits from that era.  The Ford logos are from print ads and were sanded on the back to thin them and fastened to the model using a Glue Stik.


One important fact was learned just before final painting. A new spray paint can fell on the model and completely cracked off a fairly large piece about the size of a US quarter.  This piece was glued back into place, filled and sanded smooth.

Thanks for looking...
