'50 Chevy truck

[Styrene Scientist]

hey guys. picked this kit up.

I plan on making it look like a fairly new truck maybe driven for a year by an old lady lol.
the truck will be a turquoise type blue color. only can't decide to do it all blue or maybe black fenders.

I painted the wood on the bed with oil over acrylic. added tiny amount of weathering on the underside.

I read that a lot of people have issues with the ride height of this kit.
I'm not sure what the problems are?. i built the chassis according to the instructions and the ride height is perfect.

chassis painted black and cleared. ready for next step of weathering

thanks dudes,

I got the engine detailed.

 

[MrT]

Wow that looks great! You need to do thread on how you detail and paint your engines. They just look fantastic!

Wow, that's some great detailing.

Nice work on the engine!
But, let me make you a question, that cable in the left side isn't to slim?

Cheers

Stunning work.

I echo the request for methods used. It's all amazing, but the wood grain is the best I've ever seen.

did some more work on this one.

I'll second that- very nice work and a damned cool truck, to boot!
