1953 Ford F100

[Chuck Most]

This one came to life in the Power By Ford Community Build. Basically it is an AMT '53 cab set up on a Lindberg 1997 F150 4x4 chassis. The engine was upgraded to Lightning specs with Revell parts. The bed is made up of Plastruct fencing, Evergreen strip and basswood. The hood ornament is a Miniart 1:35 scale pigeon. Paint is distressed Revell Matt Yellow. Door art was done by hand with a Gundam marker.

Nice job! Weathering is spot on. What are the wheels from? They look like Western Bullets or factory Jeep wheels.

They're the wheels that came with the Lindberg F150. There was an "off road" version of the kit with basically these wheels and tires and a rollbar.

Thanks. I’ll look for it on the web.

Great looking paint treatment on the body and the flat bed. Like the upgraded chassis and rolling stock. A pigeon on the hood, usually they're making unwanted deposits all over the body.

Really cool truck! ? ?

That's yet another example, of the excellent weathering we're used to seeing from you. So realistic! That's a heck of a motor for an old farm truck though.

Awesome work!

Great weathering, you have a unique style. The difference (rust) between different panels is spot on.

I may be way off base, but I’m thinking that being as it is a AMT 53 your “Yellow Cat” graphics are a nod to Budd Andersen.  (I probably misspelled his name).

In any case an amazing build as usual brother!

Calling this build nice would simply be an understatement. It’s one of the nicest weathered builds I have seen. Looks like a real 1:1 truck. Amazing!

Absolutely superb weathering, and really clever use of a Miniart 1/35 pigeon as a hood ornament. The bumper stickers are a nice touch, too - looks like a 1:1 Ford truck.

[OldTrucker]

That weathering is spot on !!!

Typical work horse. Nice job.

If he's the actual AMT Kat, I can't claim that was my intention. I just wanted to incorporate the Kat logo for whatever reason.

The wood steps top it all off.
