Great looking mockup, you must be itching to get it done.

Thanks Dave.  Yeah, it's been a fun build but like the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end.

Thanks Carl.  Since mine is more of a Street Rod I think it needs a little bit nicer bed.  

I think you're right .  I've made decals in the past for the wood beds , or if you can't do that then paint it and use foil for the strips .

Thanks Bob.  I bought some FolkArt acrylic paint at HL, Barn Wood & Raw Wood.  My plan is to paint the whole bed with the Barn Wood since it's a lighter color then dry brush the Raw Wood which is a darker color.  I'll hit the metal strips in the bed with my Molotow pen.  The pic shows my 60 Chevy Truck which I did the same way but I didn't do any dry brushing.  Just thought I would give that a try this time around.

An interesting thread to follow. I tend to like vintage pickups either stock of customised. And this build has resulted in a fine model by Bob.           You live and learn from these threads.

Using MR Colour Levelling Thinner was something I would never have thought of using with Tamiya acrylics. There must be a benefit over using Tamiya's own thinner I guess.

Up to now I have been using a full size car sprayer's trick of doing a few very quick passes of neat thinners after the colour is laid on as a leveller, or alternatively a coat of clear lacquer afterwards.

Thanks man.  Intresting about the thinner.
