50 Chevy 3100 Pick Up

[juergen]

Hi Guys !

After long time away from the forum now i have time to built my next model.

I will do the AMT/ERTL 1950er Chevy 3100 Pick Up.

First time i look at the rims and tires. i don´t like the original rims from the box so i do new about resin.

I think now the look is better for me and i pass the parts the first time.

Now i will think about the design of the pick up.

Have a nice day

Welcome back and glad to see some of your excellent builds coming.

Looks great and nice details on those wheels. I like the colors you have chosen, are you going for a "Hershey" truck?

Keep up updated!

[Curtis v.]

that looks awsome, the paint looks great and i love the colors

Color combo looks awesome. Those wheels and tires are just perfect too, can't wait to see it finished...

[Tedly]

should be really nice! I really love the color combo

Hi Guys and thanks for the positive feedback !!!

my next step was the load area from the pick up. i grinded the plastic to a small and glued a wood veneer on it for a better "woodlook".

after drying and painting you can see here the look:

also the sides got slats about wood.

This is looking real good.

I hope you don't have problems with the window glass like I did. It was way to small, fell right through.

Wood veneer. Never thought of that. Nice touch. Great idea. Another one for the gotta try that sometime file.

Hello my friends !

As the next step i do the interieur of the truck.

More detailing comes a little bit later.

The wood of the loading area gets its paint and i can glue the fenders on this area.

Wow. That is all.

[Clay]

Juerg, that is looking amazing!! Keep it up.

J-

Your paint work is excellent and I really like the stake sides you've built.

I built one of these kits more than ten years ago, but I went a very different rout with mine. Here is a link to some photos in case you're interested.

Looking good, I love the colors and the paint job . . . keep it going.

[Danno]

Shaping up nicely!

[juergen]

Hello !!!

After drying the cao i printed the decals and they get her place.

Thats the temporary look without glueing the parts.

The next step is to clearcoat the cap and i hope you like the design?

[Raul_Perez]

The decals really bring the color combination to life!!

Thanks for sharing,
