moparmike619 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Absolutely fantastic job. I wish I could paint my models half as well as you painted Cooter! All the weathering and details on the truck, figure and entire diorama could pass for the real deal. Super cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Wow, it looks spot on! Never knew Cooter had that low cost C 20 wrecker. Great attention to details, inside of bed is perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Awesome Paint and Finish! The Figure helps complete the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike, when it comes to making something look worn I can paint. But if I wanted to paint something to look nice, forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started with the new reissue AMT 72 Chevy Coca Cola kit. I should have mentioned it in the description but I was lazy & didn't feel like typing.😴😉 21 hours ago, DRIPTROIT 71 said: Man that is Awesome! You really captured the look of the truck and Cooter!!

Thanks Doyle! The paint is Rustoleum American Accents Nutmeg Satin straight out of the can. I wasn't sure about it at first but it grew on me.
