Bastardo Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Here's another older build from me. Lindberg Dodge L 700 Tilt cab. One of the worst kit's I've worked with... But since it was my first-ever mdoel truck, I decided to keep my cool and go for it The result looks like this: More pics will folow in my next post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastardo Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 The rest of the pics: I know - the tyres should be more beat-up... :/ The WIP can be seen here: Link to the WIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Very Cool! I love the weathering and detail, but it seems a bit too shiny in some spots. Maybe a light mist of dull coat is in order? Other than that, excellent! David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 That's an artful weathering job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastardo Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanx, guys! David G.: I agree 100% and I should've done it before... Tut there's a rule of mine that says: Once the model is finished I will not do anything to it - just to keep it as a reminder of my skills "back then" in the 20 year's time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyBad Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 That is one Well used up Dodge truck. It Looks perty bad in the best of ways.. you've done some very good Weathering and assembling on it. The only thing that gets me is the duct tape on the front window, I can only assume that it should be a 2 piece windshield and not a one piece But over all, Great work..

Bastardo Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thanx, Zukiholic About the tape: The window is a 2-piece thingy and the model actually has one "glass" piece and the other (taped) one i actually a thin piece of PVC foil that was glued to the model with small pieces of BMF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 That's the best way I've seen to deal with this kit's many flaws / fit issues! Turn the weaknesses into strengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyglu Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 wow i think it may have been better that this model ended up being a mess....great job sticking with it and a fantastic model you got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastardo Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanx for the comments, guys bbowser: I decided this would be a rustbucket way before I sarted working on it. And I'm glad I did, because the fitment of this model is horible... I believe I'll never see a model as badly designed and molded as this one was... krazyglu: Sticking with it was always "my thing" - not a single model ever made me go:"I can't do this..." That's the beauty of modelling, especially scratchbuilding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yeah, that kit is a bit of a nightmare, but looks like you did a great job on this one! Redneck Joe must have pretty deep pockets- that thing's gotta be a gas hog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Teresi Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Dick......you are a Master.....your weathering technique is AWESOME.......very cool model . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastardo Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thanx, fellas Count Chuckula: Hyeah, the kit sucks big time John: I weather every model with different techniques, so the results vary a lot from one to another I'ts fun to try something new each and every time. This way things don't get monotone and you can mix-up different techniques from different models from the past and get a totally new look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Awesome truck. It's not so bad kit, there are lots of parts, which means that there have not to be any big scratchbuilding, that's great. But I think that parts don't fit so well, but that's not a big problem... Your truck looks very good, weathering is super, greasy truck is always nice to see. Great work with it.

Bastardo Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanx, m8 There are a lot of parts and some of them fit well, but most of them need lots of addapting and modifying before they can be used. The biggest issue is the fitment of the cab to the chasis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCat Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 LOVE that weathering you have done to this one. Great Job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avgwarhawk Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Beautiful! I love what you did. I made the same tractor that came with flat bed and 40 Ford. BTW, weathering looks fantastic. Forgot...the rag in the fuel tank as the cap is brillant and dead on!!!!
