Old Work Truck

[JTRACING]

I like these kinda old workin trucks.
this is AMT's 57 chevy stepside.
plan is a faded red pantjob, white bumbers, some weathering some junk in the back etc..

Nice start. Your weathering looks phenomenal as usual.

May I ask...what's the scale? It looks like a 1:1 plastic body on a real chassis...

thanks !

I got the bed put together and painted

[JTRACING]

starting to weather up the bed, and added a bit of junk. I got lots more junk to add in there still lol

[klutz_100]

Really great set of skills you have, Mr. T.
Definitely setting standards to which I (frustratingly) aspire

You're crazy at weathering man!!! now i'm sure it's the real thing!!!!

That is some great weathering! What do you use? By chance have you used the new Tamiya weathering kits?

Fantastic weathering as usual James. Can you give us some insight on how you do it?

[JTRACING]

thanks guys!

for weathering all i use is acrylic paint for dry brushing . and different pastels

[tigeraid]

Nice. Do you crumble up the pastels and dry brush the powder, or do you just randomly knick the plastic with the pastel in hand? I really need to try this some day. Problem is these days, I only build for customers, and all of them want shiny new cars!

This is fantastic work! The Hustler sets it off great but maybe a few greasy finger prints need to be added, stellar build, believe me, i rarely post in the street section!. Ill be following this one!
