Chevrolet 3100 pickup

[Scottnkat]

I just finished this pickup truck (my first truck model). It is mostly all box stock with only a few changes. First, I weathered the wood in the bed to show more wear near the tailgate (where the wood would get the most wear). Also, I figured what good is a truck without something to haul around? So, I built an engine stand out of sheet styrene and found an old 409 engine in the spares box. I also added a couple of tires and a chain. I added chains to the back of the tailgate as well. Finally, I decided that I liked the bare wheels better than the hubcaps, so I left those off. I hope you enjoy the pics:

Finally, since presentation is everything, I put it in a case with an old garage for a background and a mirror on the base so you can see underneath:

Very nice change of pace, Scott. Looks like a well used station shop truck. I have the original issue (green truck on box) that l have no definite plans for. Might try a little weathering after seeing this.

It looks good! Pickup trucks are always fun because you can have a diorama going in the bed.

thank you, guys. I've never done a pickup before, so this was a definite change of pace. I had to do it for a group build on another site. It ended up being kinda fun.
