Dragonhawk1066 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Here's my version of the Monogram 1955 Ford F100 Street Rod that I can finally show now that the reveal date has passed. I did this one for the Youtube USACC 2023 Group Build. I used Cobra Motor Paints by AMMO, with Creates High Gloss Clear, although I will recommend using the Cobra Motors 2K Clear or any other 2K clear instead of the Createx, or possibly a lacquer clear as the Createx didn't seem to mesh with the paint very well. I used the wheels and tires from the Revell 1971 Dom's GTX kit, and tail lights from the Revell 1932 Ford 5-Window Coupe kit. I did make the exhaust tips from 1/8" styrene tubing and slash cut them with my exacto blade. A combination of Apple Barrel Khaki, Honey Brown, and Nutmeg Brown was used for the bed and interior, while the bed slats were taped off and sprayed with Molotow Chrome. This was a super fun build and I was very happy to be able to participate in the group build. As always, thanks for looking! Progress vids can be found on my Youtube channel, Stumpy Grump's Scale Speed Shop. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phildaupho Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Glad I got a chance to see your great looking build before it gets moved to the truck thread. Great build. Great livery. I had a buddy in the early 1970's who brush painted his Chevy II wagon in the the Gulf livery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koellefornia Kid Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Excellent truck! The Gulf livery suits it well and the stance is just right! Why did you do to get the rims of the GTX wheels chromed the Nice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbuildr Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 What a great build. I really like the Gulf paint scheme, and the wheels and tires were an excellent choice. Engine details and the bed details are very good looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you do to get the rims of the GTX wheels chromed the Nice? Thanks! After painting the orange, I traced out the inner rim on masking tape and cut the circle and placed over the inside of the rim. Then I sprayed Molotow Chrome through my airbrush for the outer rim. Carefully peeling the masking tape back off was the real trick being careful not to swipe the edge of the chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
