Something I have not done in a long time...

AVGWarhawk · 01-05-11, 02:04 PM

build a model.....I started a 1969 Dodge L700 cab over with flatbed. The smell of plastic parts and glue brought back many memories of my youth building models. Models have not changed much but materials to build them sure have. This was last nights work. Today I will clean up the mold marks and blend plastic were needed. This frame will be painted flat black. Note the 5th wheel for the trailer. This model also has a 1940 Ford coupe that can be placed on the flat bed. I plan on making the Ford a wrecked car. Similar to what is shown on the box the model is packaged in.

When/if I ever graduate, I would like to get in to modeling. I think that is a great hobby and now that I am older, I think I have the patience for it... as for skill?

Well I guess I can learn.

Subframe together and sprayed with flat. This will eventually be sprayed red. Cab will be white.

Testing cab fit. Need some touch up. The hard part is making the model all spit shine and brand new looking then weathering all your work for some realism. I hope to have the cab finished by the weekend. Then I start on the flatbed. The 1940 Ford Coupe will be a wrecker on my flat bed.
