Scottnkat Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartster Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 It looks good! Pickup trucks are always fun because you can have a diorama going in the bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottnkat Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
