1954 Chevy Milk Truck

[Alex Flint]

I named this one JUNKYARD DOG. It's a resin model from Resin Model Ranch. The 1950 Chevy 3100 Pickup kit is what I used for a donor kit. I painted it a Foliage Green acrylic craft paint and weathered it with 3 different shades of brown paint applied with craft sponges. The decals are pulled from a 1965 Chevy Stepside Pickup kit. The interior is mostly scratch built. It's painted a light brown and weathered with black calligraphy ink. I modeled the interior after the Divco Milk Truck interior. The interior junk includes 3D printed Grizzly Tobacco cans, rolls of duck tape, crushed energy drink cans, a skateboard, a broken bottle, a fuel can, a pair of jumper cables, some oily rags, a bobblehead dog, two boxes of Champion Spark Plugs, a real metal greasy chain, a Coleman Cooler, a Duncan Donut box with a donut inside, a box of Kleenex with real Kleenex inside, and a melted Crunch candy bar on the dashboard. The steering wheel is salvaged from my parts box. The seat is also salvaged from my parts box. The Guage cluster is made of some jewelry necklace rings and some UV Hardening resin. The radio face is 3D printed. The windshield was scratched with an exacto knife blade to simulate a crack. I also drilled three holes in the glass to simulate bullet holes. The frame has been extended to fit the body. The driveshaft is made from scratch. The engine is weathered with black and brown calligraphy ink to make it look greasy. The engine is also plumbed and wired using rubber bead cord and bead wire. I also eliminated the bumpers. The wheels are pulled out of my parts box. I even 3D printed a person figure to go with it.

Very convincing weathering!  The bullet holes on the driver's side are a little scary!?
