@Richie C. posted:Thanks, Lee - pic's of finished model below. The two figures came with the kit and are also hand-painted. Everything was molded from the factory in a bright green color (including wheels and tires), so everything had to be hand or spray (rattle can) painted. I also moderately detailed the undercarriage. It was a difficult build because the cab is not one piece. It is formed by the fender assembly, front bumper, two doors, roof and cab backing plate which all have to be cemented in place at basically the same time to get everything matched up. I also had to find 4 different colors of brown for the boxes, barrels, stakes and truck bed. All the cab pieces were sprayed with dull coat after painting. The decals, even after 65 years, went on fairly easily using Micro-Sol, although I can see from the pic's, need to trim the "Chevrolet" decal on the front bumper.
I have three more of these to do and will gradually get to them. For now, I want to concentrate on getting my roundhouse built. The only question is whether I should weather the truck now that it is done ?
Thanks for the link Richie. I will refer to this often when I get around to building the truck.
