i started this one recently for a facebook group but thought y'all might enjoy it as well. this is my first attempt at a full-on weatherd junker.
i got this one as part of as junkyard lot on e-bay and this IS the truck i was after. however once it arrived, it was poorly built and it's sooooo warped and twisted it just sat around waiting.

a friend named Mark Gosselin sent me this set of transport tires that he casted and i weathered them using the "salt method"

had to rebuild the front crossmember

couple of shots to verify it would look kool

and started weathering the frame and springs

enjoy

Ha Ha Ha. Some of my favorite vintage MPC funny cars have detailed engines like that and since they are hard to come by I want to duplicate them in resin too.

Looks like you're doing a really nice job of building a crapy looking truck lol. It almost looks like a 4x4 pulling truck with those little tires on it.

Frank, That's totally cool! You've given me an idea of what I can do with some of the grinding dust that accumulates on deck when my helper grinds my welds

Fellows like you & the others are helping me shape my skills & that in turn will make my life diorama bad to the bone
