Andy Wyatt Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Revell '41 Chevy, built for a swap with mhadman. Duplicolor Black over HOK Sunrise Pearl. Wheels and tires from a Revell '40 Ford convertible kit. Kit supplied stovebolt 6 cylinder plumbed and wired. Bed boards painted using Lyle Willits technique that he was kind enough to share. Coated with a mixture of Future and yellow and red food coloring to make them look like they have shellac on them. The license plates didn't turn out as sharp as I've seen other peoples...not sure what I did wrong there...the whole deal was supposed to have been done almost a year ago...it started out as a '60 Chevy truck (which might emerge as a curbside someday), then a '56 Del Ray that got pitched against my dining room wall...building something for a friend is fun but very nerve wracking! Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordh8r Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Looks good! I can't wait till I can get to build one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58 Impala Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Nice job,I like the 2 tone paint. I've been working on the same kit for the last several MONTHS. Between being lazy and too picky I'll never get finished. When I see builds like yours, it gives me some motivation to finish mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Willits Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Very cool. The woodgraining turned out great. I saw this truck at the meeting and din't know who built it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul_Perez Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Very nice work, Andy!! It's exactly what I thought I'd see when I saw that you had posted it. Is your printer running low on ink? That might be one reason why the plate didn't come out like you wanted. Is this what you were trying to make? For 1:25th scale, I copy the image into PowerPoint as a Picture (Enhanced Metafile), then scale it down to 0.25" x 0.50". I hope that this helps!

Bryce Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Great job on a cool truck. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Kern Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Andy, you built a really neat version of one of my favorite trucks. The two-tone paint looks great with the foiled trim. Your wood graining came out nice, and as usual a superb job on the engine detailing. Beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
