First Pics Of The F-150

I like better than mine I now have corvette seats in my f-150

P-MAN is the man:D

Pman, looking good! So this isn't your contest model? If not, you will be showing an overview of it later right?????? Well, I like how the engine was assembled! Keep it up!

The only part brush painted is the darker grey in the seats and doors. The rest is done by can.

As for the contest model ....all i'm going to say is that its.......Not a Tamiya kit:eek: , painted Mica Red/lowered and running on Equip 19's.
I may do a thread later on about it ;)

:bloated: Equip 19s :bloated:

Is it a Fujimi kit then? You don't buy many Revell kits, and you don't buy many Aoshima kits so I am guessing its a Fujimi. Is it an Evo? You seem to like those alot now.

Warren, you make sooooo hard to think of what your making for the contest! ;):D

The interior looks stunning.Great job PMAN.:)

Another update.:)
Spent the last few days getting this bitch of a thing looking just right. The bottom skirts around the tray are a shocking fit and seemed to take for ever to get just right. Most of them have been sanded and then filled with putty to hide the gaps etc.

The next problem was getting it all to sit on the chassis correctly which once again took forever to get it right.
Its still not 100% but its looking a hell of alot better then what it did !!!. The mold lines are very heavy on the cab and needed alot of sanding which rubbed away the panel lines which i had to re-do again. Overall pretty happy so far....it will be primed some time this week and painted in Tamiya bright red or black

Can't see the pics Pman, I think the server move deleted all the previous pics, so post them again I want to see your F150.

:confused: :confused:
Just checked the old pics and they are all still there

I can't see alot of the pictures around AF now. Whats going on?

thats gonna look great when it finished nice work

Your doing a fine job my friend!:)

Missed this update.Looking great as usual PMAN.

great job Pman:alien2: :alien2:

Finally got around to painting it today.
Four coats of Tamiya Bright Red. Just wait for it to harden and then detail to be added

Last one.

Perfect paint job as usual, im jealous since paint seems to never cooperate with me. cant wait to see it completed and to see what your next project is.

Rob

lol, every time I lay down a paint job I go, wow, this one came out perfect, just to come here and see you are far ahead!!!!!!!!

very nice P-man! are you gonna do it with stock height and wheels? GOOD!

Yep...it will get the stock wheels and height. There is so much work in getting it lowered with bigger wheels. The deck would need to be cut to allow wider wheels just to start. The chassis already is pretty low and when i put some other wheels on it the fuel cell sat on the ground with the height i was looking for..lol

Looks great Pman, so I hope we will see this finished soon?

Flawless paintjob provided by:

Get yours today!

:finger:

:hehehe:
Where to buy!~ haha

Pman, your paintjob is always so perfect! I am jealous too... haha but still practice makes perfect..

Just a question though..
A spray can can last you for how many models?

A can will last me about 3 or 4 cars depending on how many coats of paint.
Most times i can get away with 3 coats of paint so i can get 4 cars done

:eek:

I see.. thanks..
Mine can only last for 2 models though.. won't be sufficient for a 3rd one.. :( probably I got to improve my spraying skills!

ThankZ.

Whilst I was at Autosport Internation in the UK yesterday
walking around I spotted this F-150 and the other half was very suprised
that I knew what it was as they are very very rare in the UK
Thanks to P-Man I now know.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
I can`t believe this! I always use atleast an entire can of Tamiya paints on one model, sometimes 2 or 3 (like on my friggin 360 model :mad: ). On the Corvette I`m doing, I am going on can number 5, but it is a 1/12 scale car, and I want it thick enough to wetsand and rub out.

Ok, that's it!! I'm going to the store in next week and get some Tamiya sprays!! P-man you piss me off!!!:mad: Nah... it's alright, maybe my paint-jobs will come out better!

I cant beleive you use a whole can on each model :eek: :eek:
Does it have any detail left :confused: :confused:

I just noticed that one of the staff at my school drives a Lightning. A very slick truck.

Update
Got more of it detailed over the last few days. This kit seems to be taking me forever due to getting to darn fussy with it. :(

After the first lot of pics i wasn't happy with the finish in places, so it was sanded and primed again before being repainted.
Once it was resprayed it was baked to harden the paint.

Next was the masking of all the bumpers, side steps and tray. Once they were masked and sprayed in black it was then left before finishing of with my Gundammarker pen to get all the lines etc looking good.

I'm now more then happy with the way its turning out. The grill is all done and bare-metal-foil has been added for the backing of the lights.
Still alot more detail to go yet to finish off, but heres a few more pics of progress.
Hopefully be finished in the next few weeks all going well.

Its just the angle of the camera....they are both the same size.
The wheels do look small but they are the same size as some aftermarket 18's you can buy....its mainly due to having such a huge truck sitting on top that's hard to get used to (well it is for me anyway !!!)

LOL, the truck is so big it makes the engine look tiny! :o

Great work, Kiwi-bot! :D Oh yeah, you too, Warren... :p

Needs some...25 inchers. :D

:eek: :flash:

looking so gorgeous!! :ylsuper
I can see you're building this so politely. it looks almost finish. I can't wait!

Lookin real good.:cool:

Looks great Pman, is the F150 a 1/24? It should only take you about 4 days really to finish, it doesn't look like there is that much detail left on it to do.

The 18 inch rims looks small on the lightning.. loLz.
Another shiny paint job you got!
Hope to see this finishing soon ;)

Stunning !:ylsuper !!

Hello,

I'm new on this board but when i saw this F150 i make my registration on this board !! Congrats for this awesome job on this SVT F150.

More about me : I'm a 1/18 collector (about 90 models now) and since some weeks i have bought some kits, 1/8 CAMARO IROC Z 1985 from Monogram, 1/16 Revell Camaro IROC Z 1987 and finally 1/20 Lindberg GMC Syclone.

I have never make kit hope when i have the time i'll make them ! i think i'll start by the Syclone because if i 'destroy' it it's less imporant than IROC Z kit ! yes i'm French and i love IROC Z ! :-)))

Thanks for reading,

Tof;)

Mix with flour, add water, mix well, add salt and sugar, pre-heat the oven, bake for 34 minutes. There,. You get yourself a nice baked paint! :p :silly:
