Winter time model building thread.
This is the early 80's MPC version of the Dodge Pick up. I threw away the pick up bed and made one from sheet plastic. I also chopped the top a scale 6". The front bumper was molded in the the bottom of the front valance. The rectangular headlights are behind a green tinted lenses cover.
Here you can see the radical shape of the back of the bed. I also frenched in the license plate. The tail lights are from a `59 Caddy with polished brass bezels. The paint is Testors Boyds Green Pearl air brushed on w/ clear. And love `em or leave `em, the gold wire wheels were a good idea at the time.... :-D
Being I built this as a custom, I didn't see any need to go hog-wild detailing under the hood. Just your basic 440+6 living here.... The hood was hinged to open reversed.
Taking a peek in the window we see a custom console complete with a pair of sunglasses and the latest issue of Hot Rod in it.
This one grabbed a few awards too..... 8)
