1990 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado

[Chuck Most]

This was the last kit I bought from Dean's Hobby Stop before he closed up. That fact sort of inspired the project. It's the 1990 annual kit with the sliding rear window, gauge cluster, Silverado badges and tailgate banner from the current monster truck reissue. I used a rear bumper from the 1992 curbside kit because it has better step detail than the 1990 version. I also used printed Firestone tires just because I had a few too many sets kicking around.

The bumper stickers and bow ties are from a couple Gofer sheets, and Dean Sills was made from cutting letters out of a generic blue police car lettering sheet.

That's amazing! Your weathering is so realistic, it reminds me of living in northern Ohio & how all of my vehicles ended up rotting away.

Great looking rust bucket. Realistic looking road rash and tin worm damage. Maybe he should let the dealership body shop play with it for a while. Alway enjoy looking at your weathering.

wow!  im very impressed with the realistic weathering.  very nice.  Im a huge fan of these era trucks, and you nailed it.  very accurate representation of a real world truck.      But if its this rough and rusty, it should be missing all its wheel trim rings by now!  ha ha!
