First weathered build......I've been studying weathered tutorials so this will be a learning curve......

I drew first blood by cutting out the "wood" so the rear shows. This will have no engine/trans but a tree growing through the engine bay......!

I've been thinking about this too. What are you planning for the tree? Something from a model rail road?

I was thinking about looking around in the woods behind my house for a small twig or branch and have a bare tree with no leaves.....?

Looks good. I do the same and really pleased with some of them.

Scott, sounds like a good idea. Good luck with your build.

Interesting. Watching for more.

Did a little denting and practiced rusting a extra piece.

I like tree #3

That is looking cool

Cheers

[webestang]

Tree number 3 does look good..........

[Wonderbread Kustomz]

That looks good!

[webestang]

Thanks!

I'm wondering if I should try and paint the tree through the hood to match the one's in the photo? Or use Photoshop and do a late fall scene....?

[webestang]

I just realized there is a Diorama section.......if a Mod would like to move me, that would be cool.....

That looks great, we've got an actual '37 ford pickup sitting out back in similar shape: your model even shares the cab roof corner dent on the drivers side, with ours. My dad and I are building a ratrod out of it, hot 302 under the hood. I'd like to get this same kit someday, any comments on how it went together?
