happy grumpy Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 Another little workhorse from yesteryear. Revell made a fine kit with this one , no fit issues. Finely detailed. I did some weathering and rust effects but otherwise out of the box.Not sure about the color though if it was factory correct but I liked the combo.The biggest mod was to open the grill and bumped it a little
carrucha Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 Cool beater truck. Nice work on the weathering. Realistic and not over the top. The leaves in the bed are a nice touch.
Zippi Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 WOW.....that's a looker Mario. Love the old fat fender Chevy's. The weathering looks great.
espo Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Very realistic looking finishes. I think the color looks correct, but remember these were commercial type vehicles and would often be painted to match a companies color scheme so it could be almost any color.
hct728(Bob) Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Nice job on the grille and weathering, love the look of this truck to start with and you made it better!
happy grumpy Posted October 25, 2021 Author Posted October 25, 2021 thank you all for the nice comments. I enjoy building subject that reflect what i was seeing on the roads when I was young. Being a small town boy, brand new cars were somewhat rare and there were more farmers than lawyers so old beaters were a common sight. Up here in Canada, rusty cars were more the norm than the exception and and rust protection was not a priority for car manufacturers, especially in the 70's.
TonyK Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Really like what you've done here. I rarely suggest anything on someone's model but I think there should be a hubcap missing. Would expect that after all that truck has been through. Just for some added fun.
happy grumpy Posted October 25, 2021 Author Posted October 25, 2021 Good idea Tony. I'll keep that in mind.
