My take on the 41 Chev Pickup.

[Davoski]

Hi guys,

I am sure most of you have built this kit at some point but this is one that I have made to go in a 1950's Aussie Pub diorama. Beryl in the passenger seat is part of a little story that the scene will tell. The rest of the diorama is about 90% finished so should only take me another 5 years or so to complete

If you are interested the build sequence for the ute is here.

I hope you like it!

Looks like it's had a hard life!

great job and I like the hotel diorama, too.

VERY nice Dave, i can see that sitting out back of the pub, to do the maintenance run into town, or the occasional emergency keg run..

Nice work on the rust and old style weathering man.

Very convincing weathering, well done!

I agree.

That's wonderful. You can tell good weathering when every surface and mark has a different story. Yours does!

[Davoski]

Aww, shucks, thanks guys

Ummm......I just glued it on

The base bracket is roughly a square so you just rotate it 90 degrees. I moved the steering wheel and pedals to RHD but didn't change the dash. Anybody who is picky about that would not be welcome at the Pub anyway
