RyanSilva Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 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.
