Piero Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) I've found this one on a french website. I think you can find it in UK. Try to search on google Edited October 22, 2012 by Piero
mikemodeler Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 That looks like something out of Chuck Most's backyard! Nice job on the weathering!
Chuck Most Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Who's Chuck Most ? Me. And the one in my backyard isn't as nice. Yes, I do have a C-series in my back yard... Pierre- I LOVE how this one is coming together! I stashed five or six of these kits when they came back out, but so far I haven't yet built a weathered one.
Piero Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Hey, you know what ? Your picture helped me for the weathering

Hay chuck how about trying to do a copy of the one in your back yard P/S I wish I had a clunker like that in my yard dont think the misses would approve tho it would save me mowing the grass lol Edited October 24, 2012 by Doobie
le_marbrier Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Nice job on the weathering ! Could you tell me on which french forum you are registered ?
Dominik Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Hi Pierre, the same Kit is waiting on my bench to get started. I had the same idea, to make a "workaholic"-truck. But not sure this time, how far i will go with it. Just make an exercise on another truck. your cabine looks great - the weathering is perfect! what will you do with the chromeplated parts?
Piero Posted October 28, 2012 Author Posted October 28, 2012 your cabine looks great - the weathering is perfect! what will you do with the chromeplated parts? Thanks. I'll be happy to see another version of that kit. The chrome parts are rusty or painted.
Piero Posted October 30, 2012 Author Posted October 30, 2012 What do you think about the stake bed ? Looks old wood no ?
72 Charger Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 That wood looks good but with a truck that looks that old surely some of that wood would have been broken split or just lost?
Piero Posted October 30, 2012 Author Posted October 30, 2012 Yes you're right... A part of the stake is lost, but I think I'll break another...
towman1271 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Beautiful job!!!!!!!!!!!! love the weathering
mikemodeler Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Who's Chuck Most ? Why, isn't he the king of rust and weathering???????? Nice job on this build, I would suggest some more dullcote on those fuel tanks, still too shiny!
Piero Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Well guys, I've finished my truck ! Some pictures... leave your comments... : Under the cab there are some details we don't see very well, wires, dirty rag... With some stuff... : And the truck has taken place in my junkyard diorama : Edited November 1, 2012 by Piero
mikemodeler Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 What does mean dullcote ? There is a product called dullcote that can be sprayed on a shiny surface to make it appear dull or less shiny. There are typically 4 levels of clear one can spray on a surface: 1. High Gloss- for the shiniest of finishes, mainly on show cars 2. Gloss- for a shiny surface finish, usually used to replicate a factory paint job. 3. Semi-gloss- for those parts that typically have a little shine to them, like chassis parts, underhood, etc. 4. Flat or dullcote- these are parts that have no shine to them. Hope this helps!
Piero Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 Thanks Mike ! I didn't know that product
Platerpants Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 nice can i have the f150 and the c series?
Old Albion Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 I like this alot. It certainly looks like its had a hard life. If you try and get some photo's outside in natural light the diorama would look real. Great work. Dave
