Dominik Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Hey Everyone, here it comes, what i wrote in Brian Harmons aka "camaro73" beautiful Truck. My Chevy Titan with Lifestock Trailer. The truck started out of the trash and some parts were lost. Also, in the "partsbag" were parts, they wont fit to it - but: i love challenges! So my plan was from the beginning, to make a used truck. A little bit of rust, a little bit of rubbish in the cabin... Next part was the trailer that was built and attached to a Marmon truck. I took it from the shelf and had only to make a paintjob. Two times. No big thing, just to try it. Enough of words, here are the pictures. Have fun with it: Thats it. Comments always welcome - say what you thing
Austin T Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Very nice grungy old truck,You do a great job weathering.
Silver Foxx Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Nice work on this , very realistic weathering.
kilrathy10 Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Yes, Sir...Absolutely a very nice job on this one...Very well weathered and detailed...Keep it up...
towman1271 Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Impressive.........You hit it on the head...
Wagoneer81 Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 This truck and trailer just look good together. I'm working on the same combo, in blue and white... I hope mine turns out as nice as yours.
BigBad Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Nice work! The "new" parts you added actually look better than the originals. Nice weathering.
The Modeling Hermit Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 It has a very natural look to it, so much so that it could be the real thing. Did you also include the smell?
'70 Grande Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 The tires that you used look slightly-larger than the kit-supplied tires; do you know where or what kit those tires came from? Are they resin? This is a great looking build; it is exactly as they appear in my home-state of Iowa, the hog-producing capital of the world! I can almost smell the odor that rides along with these rigs wherever they go!
Grumpa Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Outstanding job! There are a lot of these on the road here in the States and you nailed the look!
freightshaker Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 That thing looks like a DOT cops dream! What a rolling nightmare haha great build, the weathering looks soo good on his truck. Super job man!
Dominik Posted November 25, 2012 Author Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Thank you very much for kind comments! I appreciate it. This truck and trailer just look good together. I'm working on the same combo, in blue and white... I hope mine turns out as nice as yours. ...i hope, you make a "newer" truck? It has a very natural look to it, so much so that it could be the real thing. Did you also include the smell? no, it doesn't smell like it looks. Edited November 25, 2012 by Dominik
Dominik Posted November 25, 2012 Author Posted November 25, 2012 The tires that you used look slightly-larger than the kit-supplied tires; do you know where or what kit those tires came from? Are they resin?[...] Sorry for late responde. The wheels were in the box with the truck. I think, they are the original ones, because my "GMC" (looks like this one) has the same wheels. Perhaps, they look larger while i painted them? The new Titan (reissues) has the same wheels, also the Ford Stake Truck. Thanks again for your comments
signguy2108 Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Great job! I like the papers on the dash. Glad my computer does'nt have a smell ck on it. Good looking rig.
flatbedfrankie Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Beautiful weathering! This rig looks like it has about 300,000-400,000 miles on it. Perfect.
