Andy Oldenburg Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 This is an old Monogram kit and one of my favorite builds. The roof is chopped by about 1cm. The gold metallic paint is Molotow covered with 3 layers of crystal clear. The wheels are custom, aluminum rims with epoxy insert and rubber tires. The boards, the interior floor and the bed are covered with real teak veneer. I wanted the give this pickup a "big truck" look and let the exhaust pipes run through the bed. Made the system out of 2mm styrene rods leading into 4mm tubes. The pipes are covered with aluminum grid. I traded the bench for racing seats and had fun making the chain steering wheel. Unfortunately one can hardly see the interior now due to the chopped hood. The engine was pimped with much details, especially the filter stacks are an eye catcher. Thanks for taking a look! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl63_99 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 That's REALLY nice. But it should be in the Trucks forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Great attention to the fine details. Lots of scratch-built components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
