Dragonhawk1066 Posted January 17, 2024 Posted January 17, 2024 Here's my version of the Monogram 1955 Ford F100 Street Rod that I can finally show now that the reveal date has passed. I did this one for the Youtube USACC 2023 Group Build. I used Cobra Motor Paints by AMMO, with Creates High Gloss Clear, although I will recommend using the Cobra Motors 2K Clear or any other 2K clear instead of the Createx, or possibly a lacquer clear as the Createx didn't seem to mesh with the paint very well. I used the wheels and tires from the Revell 1971 Dom's GTX kit, and tail lights from the Revell 1932 Ford 5-Window Coupe kit. I did make the exhaust tips from 1/8" styrene tubing and slash cut them with my exacto blade. A combination of Apple Barrel Khaki, Honey Brown, and Nutmeg Brown was used for the bed and interior, while the bed slats were taped off and sprayed with Molotow Chrome. This was a super fun build and I was very happy to be able to participate in the group build. As always, thanks for looking! Progress vids can be found on my Youtube channel, Stumpy Grump's Scale Speed Shop. 13
Zippi Posted January 17, 2024 Posted January 17, 2024 That orange just pops off that blue. Great stance. Nice build.
Phildaupho Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 Glad I got a chance to see your great looking build before it gets moved to the truck thread. Great build. Great livery. I had a buddy in the early 1970's who brush painted his Chevy II wagon in the the Gulf livery.
Rattlecan Dan Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 Very nice application of the classic Gulf livery. Really nice and clean build.
Koellefornia Kid Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 Excellent truck! The Gulf livery suits it well and the stance is just right! Why did you do to get the rims of the GTX wheels chromed the Nice?
TransAmMike Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 Oh yeah Craig....not even close to one of my favorite Ford trucks but man, yours looks terrific, great job!!?
espo Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 Beautiful paint colors and finish, like the Gulf Oil color theme. Great looking engine and chassis colors and detailing. Like the stance along with the wheels and tires.
Yeah Nah Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 Beautiful build Craig! Love it. The bed woodwork is 100% too.
karbuildr Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 What a great build. I really like the Gulf paint scheme, and the wheels and tires were an excellent choice. Engine details and the bed details are very good looking.

Why did you do to get the rims of the GTX wheels chromed the Nice? Thanks! After painting the orange, I traced out the inner rim on masking tape and cut the circle and placed over the inside of the rim. Then I sprayed Molotow Chrome through my airbrush for the outer rim. Carefully peeling the masking tape back off was the real trick being careful not to swipe the edge of the chrome.

floodstang Posted January 20, 2024 Posted January 20, 2024 Nice! The color combo works really well on that truck.
stavanzer Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 Dang! Great Build. Those colours really set it apart. Good Show!
