56 International pickup

[mchook]

I started with a RMR resin cab, used a Foose FD-100 running gear, interior and built my own bed. Decals from a 50 Chevy just for fun with one of my rotten paint jobs. I'm glad to see it finished, hope you like it.

Wow. Real bed chains, great weathering, great paintwork, great scratch building, great kit bashing, great everything about this build! Well done. This is the best scale IH pickup I’ve ever seen.

extremely well done....I'd drive it....seen a lot of IHC trucks in my area...

You certainly nailed this one Mark, The details and a super background makes it really pop. Beautiful patina. Love it.

Great fabrication work on this body. I like the way you finish your paint and trim. 

[PappyD340]

Outstanding!

[Nazz]

Looks fantastic Mark!  I love this truck. Stellar weathering.

That's a good looking International.  The weathering looks killer for this 56.  The wheels and stance really give the truck a good look.  Having a Hog in the shop never hurts either.

Outstanding in every way! 

[Koellefornia Kid]

Super nice! I watched the wip and was excited about how this would look when finished. Expectations exceeded!

[mchook]

Thanks everyone for all the great comments!

Rust never looked so good!! You knocked this one out of the park Mark. Hands down the best “Foose” truck I’ve seen, although I realize you changed a thing or 2 ?. Great photos too, I need a diorama! Could you build me a shop?!

Cheers, Steve

Thanks Steve, if it wouldn't cost a small fortune to ship it to you I sure would build you a shop. It's pretty easy to make. It's just 3/8 sheetrock, drywall (whatever you want to call it) with the paper removed from 1 side then block scribed into it. The interior is just full of cheap diorama stuff, nothing fancy at all.

Terrific job Mark! ? That rust job looks like it was many years in the making!?

[Phildaupho]

Very interesting and well done model and as mentioned by others - great photos and back ground.

[KWT]

very nicely done. Definitely something you don't see everyday. And you're weathering is always some that I admire.

Thanks Greg, It's amazing what a few hours in a zip lock bag and that sophisticated finishes stuff can do. It turns years into minutes.?

Thanks Jeremy, I've been wanting to do something different for a while and when I saw this resin cab I had to have it. The weathering is just my lazy way of doing a paint job. "When", not if I screw up the paint I just add more rust.?

Another good proof of your great talent Mark, your weathering technique is a reference on this forum and you prove it once again!  A rare beauty too! ?

Thanks Francis, my "technique" is more of a just wing it and see what happens. Sometimes I get lucky and it looks good.?

Love the truck, but that Rusty's Rust Proofing guy sure sucks at his job. His expert techniques did quite a number on a GMC Sonoma I built some time ago, too. ?

Cool!!

Thanks Chuck, this guy "Rusty" must have been doing work on a bunch of your vehicles.? I love the way you do your weathering. It looks like you use the salt technique and it always comes out amazing. I've tried it a number of times and never was happy with my results.
