1955 ford f100

this is a monogram kit i picked up in brissy last weekend i love utes and this peeked my interest, i wasnt goin to paint it the way it is but i thought why not, its plum purple i didnt use an undercoat i used a neat little technique i developed ages ago, and the green its just testors green i guess you could call it emeral green ive fixed up a set of big rims for it i had to use a scroll saw to cut them a bit thinner as they were a bit to wide, the shell and ute tray have had 7 coats of purple so far and a few clear coats as ive had problems in the past with me leaving finger prints in the paint (sigh) i havent even touched the shell since painting it ive used a bit of wire to move it around and on and off the chassis so im trying to eliminate the noob factor ie me lol




im thinking of maybe using silver or chrome and off spraying in so its got a bit of a sparkle but im goin to experiment with it first before i commit to doin it to the model

purple looks great on it.

Hi nighthoon some food for thought on your photos imyself don,t use flash on my digtal. first use it the not then deleat the ugly one,for your focusi use a mini tripod an push button half way then you get green lights, means clear shot. don,t take it the wrong way I,am useless onthis computer but hay nice build looking forward 2 see it finished

i use my phone as the photos i take without a flash are way to dark these are a bit bright cos ive got my desk lamp on which i dont normally have on

try settting camera on macro setting,also sit model on white surface and back ground,I crop my photos is photoshop before up loading them.

Ok sorry did,nt know still like your build ,iwish there was more time in the day as i,ve about 40 or so projects on the go of various subjects keep up the good work !
