Model A Wrecker (Weathered)

[RyanSilva]

Been building this for past 12hours today :oops:

Wood is Tamiya flat white over stained balsa.

The rust is basicly craft paints. Texture is dulcoat over baking soda to seal.

The concept is basicly a homegrown service truck that ran through the 30's-50's. I have a diorama ive been building for it also.

Wheels and tires are from Revells 36 ford delivery truck. I wish i could find AA or BB style 1-1/2 ton dual wheels.

It will have a flathead from the same kit.

Hey Ryan,

Excellent work. It's good to see another modeler from Mass.

I'm a sucker for a well weathered model & you've got this one spot on.

Excellent craftmanship & talent in spades. Looking forward to see'in some more.

Been a while since i updated, but i have till april 15th (masscar model show) to get her done, ive been slacking lately. I still need to pre register! ahh, wish i could stick to one project but it really is not possible!!!!!

I managed to mock up the engine, it clears the radiator, now to see if the pulleys fit!. added balsa floor. and im not sure if the firewall will stay, of course it will have a mild bump in the back, we shall see.

made a new boom to.
