This looks to be a great build of the "little truck that could"  You can almost hear the little sewing machine motor winding out  |

Yep, the engine is smaller than many motorcycles. It is 360cc... Glad you like it  |

Hello MSC, I managed to do some more work on this one. The ancient mantra says "layers, layers, layers", and who am I to dissent? So I added a couple more layers to the little truck, to try to achieve the look I have in my mind's eye. This is the result: Hope you guys like it, as always ACW |

Looks great. Just keeps getting better.
I have noted some of the really clever Japanese model builders use Tamiya Enamel Clear Orange for doing rust streaks. I brought some but have not tried it yet.

Thanks a lot Leon and K1w1 I'm using a combination of the lifecolor rust set and 502abt oils. The front H symbol is painted with snow white oil paint, to help me get the faded look I was aiming to. |

Loving it more by the update! Really starting to look the canine's danglies.
Just noticed that it has two fuel filler caps - is that so you can pull up at either side of a fuel pump at the petrol/gas station?
Seeing as you're going for the used and abused look, are you going to add rust to the bottom edges of the doors?

Thanks Dierk. I don't know why it had two fuel caps... The rust will stay as it is now, I don't want it to be a total wreck, just an abused minitruck. Thanks a lot Deano |

This is great! These do indeed make interesting subjects. I like the additional items you have for the back. The steel plate on the back of the cab looks really good.
