MPC "Deserter" built for laughs

[PHPaul]

I picked up a MPC "Deserter" kit intending to use the 4WD components to build a 4WD conversion for a '50 Chevy 3100.  (Details Here. )

I decided to go a little more realistic with a 4WD Kit from Fireball Model Works, so the Deserter kit just sort of sat there.  Got bored and decided to build it as a redneck beater just for giggles:

 

In addition to prototypical rust (I've owned a few Chevy trucks...) I added some scale beer cans on the floor of the cab and some junk in the bed.  I finally sprung for a 3D printer and printed the concrete blocks.

BTW, apologies for my earlier indiscretion.  Pictures of the offending decal were left out of this post.

It certainly fits the part, nice job!

I like the distressed look of this. There are more than a few that look like this or worse in my area now. I like the concrete  box for added traction during the winter.

I like it. Great job on the cinder blocks.

Yeah, it's weird.  Something happened on my website, haven't figured it out yet.  I'll upload them here.
