Then I have ordered my new project and it would be coming over the next couple of days.
I will update the thread as I get things home and get it built.
My plan so far is a civil edition in red with worn and used look. I'm very excited to get started with it. Hope people will follow and i welcome good advice.

Looks like an interesting model. Will look good in civilian red too.

Keep the pictures coming.

Received the last paint today

[Mikem]

Looking great Rene . How did you do the rust color ?

[ReneDK]

https://preview.ibb.co/nzZz6c/IMG_20180401_155349.jpg (https://ibb.co/kSyRmc)
Thank you c ") It is a combination of rust paint and real rust (water and steel wool)

He keeps an eye on whether I'm building properly.

[Panther F]

Wow... look at the spring set up on that! :eek:

Thanks for all the updates, the pictures are so great.

[ReneDK]

Hello....
Yes they are so well built and are very excited to get out and drive with it c")

[kaptain Jack]

Hey, the one legged man looks real,except for the bottle,he doesn't strike me as a coke guy.

[ReneDK]

I have a whiskey bottle to lie somewhere just could not find it for the picture c ")

[frizzen]

That rust is so real looking (cause it is)
I might throw a couple oil stains, and leaking bucket stain in the bed.

Walking-dead guy is going to look great driving it! I wouldn't worry about his amputated foot, i've seen drivers go through much more involved surgeries to fit in a truck...
Whose the one that built the bed & tires?

[Mikem]

Hi Frizzen that’s how the kit comes . Mike

The naughty lady is a Resident Evil figure from an old crawler car, but she is a little too big.

Thank you for the nice words about my rust work. I am also very pleased with that.

[Mikem]

She is scary I would be running the other way I f a I saw her ?

[ReneDK]

She is not dangerous if you do not touch her c")

[frizzen]

Sorry to derail it about the other figure. With her scale and it being from King Kong RC, she might need to be carrying a tiny monkey.

Can't wait to see what's next.

The cab is assembled.

[Rakthi]

Nice job on the truck. Will be interesting to see how it will look "aged"

[ReneDK]

I am also excited about how it does.

[ReneDK]

Jubii ... For the second time my engine has been exposed to shipment. So now, one ordered from a new place. So hope I can soon move on.

[ReneDK]

Got painted a bit on the cab today.....

[ReneDK]

Would like to share this news with you all, have it from King Kong RC. A Zis 151 6x6 truck is on its way.
https://preview.ibb.co/hW9edc/Screenshot_20180426_182508.png (https://ibb.co/i20VjH)
So while I'm done, I can start to look forward to the next truck I want.

[frizzen]

https://preview.ibb.co/d6omZH/IMG_20180422_165156.jpg (https://ibb.co/bA3LuH)


The cab's looking really nice!

With that level of weathering, I might try to gently hit the front of the lens on your amber light with something like grey scotchbright, just enough to take the gloss off where it gets abrasion from driving.

[ReneDK]

Thanks c ") I will look at that is not done yet.

So, when it comes to being assembled, some rust work is still missing

[ReneDK]

https://preview.ibb.co/nam4US/IMG_20180505_161332.jpg (https://ibb.co/kAtUw7)
Driver is now in place in the cab

[frizzen]

Even without rust, that's already got a great well-used feeling going on.

The interior is looking killer.

What are the grey brackets on the windshield?

[ReneDK]

Thank you frizzen

They were in the kit, assuming the 1: 1 is to tilt the windshield, But is not entirely sure. Still can not figure out if I like they are there or not.

Then it's ready to get out and drive ....
It has never been outside yet so all mud and rust are painted.

Let me hear what you say ???

[Trucker Al]

Love the rust rings on the truck bed. Looks authentic!!

[Zabco]

I agree, great little detail that really gives the finishing touch. Terrific job.

[Wombii]

Amazing work on the details. Really impressive weathering job!

[ReneDK]

Thank you very much, it's really nice to hear some people think I've made a nice and authentic truck, that's what I wanted.
Have spent a long time on it and thought it has been very good. So thank you
I just left and take some pictures of it and drive a short trip. So, of course, you have to have more pictures c")

[tc1cat]

GREAT looking truck. Has to be one of the best on the site. Looks like a real truck! Weathering is spot on- not too much or too little. Only thing wrong is, it isn't mine!!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[ReneDK]

Tc1cat:
Many thanks for the nice words are very nice to hear.
If the price is correct then it may become yours c ")

[Panther F]

Pretty stunning I'd say.

Didn't even need the very convincing background to sell it. It's just like an authentic truck we would drive. :)

[ReneDK]

Thanks Panther c")

[ReneDK]

Then I'm back on this page again... This truck has unfortunately been sold in the meantime.

But am back with this one and have more on the way.
