mchook Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 Great looking Dodge! I like your background too, Nice job!
1972coronet Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 Sweet looking D-150 ! That blue really pops ! Whose paint & colour is that ? Seems to resemble the solid blue used on the Toyota FJ of recent years .
Zippi Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 Nice looking garage. Yeah that background looks pretty kewl.
happy grumpy Posted October 13, 2021 Author Posted October 13, 2021 thanks for the comments, the garage is made of foam core covered with corrugated cardboard from a craft store and the doors are painted over transparent plastic. it's only 4 in deep with photos in the back, it's surprisingly effective. However I want to improve the asphalt to give it a more convincing look.

Zippi Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 Good looking Dodge pickup. That blue really catches your eyes. Can't see much of the bike in the back.
iamsuperdan Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 Build looks great! I like the idea of using the photos on the garage doors.
espo Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 The color really stands out. I like the basic delivery truck vibe. Perfect diorama for the pictures.
happy grumpy Posted October 13, 2021 Author Posted October 13, 2021 some of you asked for the color I used, I used Tamiya ts 15 blue with 2 coats of ts 13 clear. I like Tamiya lacquer spray, they flow really well and they dry fast. 1
Monty Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 Even without that remarkable background, that truck really stands out. Love the color. Thanks for providing the Tamiya #s. Any chance we could talk you into some engine/interior/chassis shots? I don't build a whole lot of pickups but yours intrigues me.

I build mainly to put them in a glass cabinet so I don't get to open the hood really. This particular kit was from MPC and the engine details were sparse. but from time to time when I am in the mood I get the engine bay dressed up but nothing like the level we often see here, but I will post some of the builds I made with a more detailed engine bay. and thanks to you all for the nice comments.
