chrismooney Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 After a long busy last few months I have fond my way back to the bench and the forums. I’m finishing up a few projects and started a few new…. The eye candy I have for everyone today is a 1957 Chevy Rescue truck. This started life as a Ertl Die Cast tanker truck in 1-24 scale. It is of nice quality and the cab looks great. I have two and plan on making on into a fire tanker. With this one I noticed the body work on the tanker look like and older utility body with out the tank. So I started cutting and hacking plastic and this is what I cam up with I have most of it finished and the first coat of primer on. I just have to add more body filler to the front of the rescue cab were it curves. Anyway on to the Photos… the first one is what I wanted the truck to look like Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
Danno Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Neat project, Chris! Will be watching this. Thanks for posting it here.
chrismooney Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys! Well she is almost complete. The tunnel lights were added the cab and body painted and now just some detail work.. Last week we had one day in the 60's... I have not painted a model in 7 months and the paint came out perfect... LOl I strayed from my sweet cream and banner red and went with Chery Red which gives it a nice darker color. i have the front bumper in the paint shop now and need to trim everything out in BMF. Oh and i stripped the wheels of the chrome using bleach and painted them red then painted the silver. I also used frosted glass for the windows my easy way out of making and inierior.
