1972coronet Posted October 13, 2021 Share 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Nice looking garage. Yeah that background looks pretty kewl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 The color really stands out. I like the basic delivery truck vibe. Perfect diorama for the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 13, 2021 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
