1962 International Metro Mite

[Chuck Most]

This is the @IceMan Collections printed resin kit. It was a limited run and I managed to nab one of the last of the milk truck version. After debating on a paint scheme I thought "why not just use the supplied graphics?"

It's tubbed at both ends to represent an "aired out" suspension with Pegasus wheels and tires. Paint is good old Krylon chalky rattle can paint, distressed with salt, Vallejo rust washes, AK Interactive weathering pencils, and Monroe powders. Inside is a GM tilt column, a ridiculous stereo system, the air suspension components... And a crate containing a quartet of milk bottles.

Pretty cool. Some of the best rust and weathering I've ever seen. 

[cobraman]

I agree, looks darn good.

original, I like it...

The finish is so realistic looking, and I like the aired-out stance.  

[ChrisR]

Looks great!

[PappyD340]

Very COOL!!

[Koellefornia Kid]

Love it! Cool subject with a great stance and nice wheels! I admire your weathering job! Looks very realistic ?

[slusher]

Looks fantastic, very realistic weathering!   The graphics are very cool!!

[happy grumpy]

Great weathering technique, I remember seeing those when I was young, and later on as an adult in junkyards , the look is amazing.

[ewetwo]

That is really cool.

[NitroMarty]

To cool and totally spot on for what folks are doing with vintage delivery vans in the real world....

[misterNNL]

Outstanding model! I love these things finished like yours. Jimmy Flintstone offers several versions with varying wheelbases. I hope more builders will post their versions here for us to be inspired by.

[Olskoolrodder]

That's a really cool build!  

[PatW]

Absolutely fantastic! I built the JF Resin Metro truck last year, with a similar finish. I don't know if Ice Man Collections ship to the UK, but it may be too costly for a pensioner.

[Zippi]

That's a pretty good looking Metro.  

[Street Rod]

That’s awesome cool! Great job building and weathering, it looks very realistic.

[Modlbldr]

I live the look of what you did with this one. Great weathering and a superb finish.

I could, but it would be easier to just visualize a .040" styrene rectangle painted semigloss black. ?

I have one word... COOL!
