Two coats of Krylon Clear Lacquer added to exterior surfaces and rubbed out. Wheels and tires from the Revell 32 Ford 5-window Coupe. Tailgate chain added from junk necklace chain. otherwise box stock. Thanks for looking!

Very sharp looking! But isn’t the Olive color a bit usual for a non military vehicle?

Now I do have to ask how did you do the wood grain effect on the cargo bed planks? It looks gorgeous!

Great job. I like the bed as well.

Thanks, Carlos and John! I appreciate your comments!

Carlos I don't think Olive is a strictly military color and is not unusual in civilian cars, especially with today's dull colors for modern cars. The inspiration for this build is below.

The wood grain was relatively easy. I used Krylon Brown Boots as the base color. Then brushed on a coat of blackwash. Once that was dry I scatter-brushed some Testors brown and leather. Then I blackwashed again after that was dry to eliminate any gloss. Thanks for asking!

Beautiful.

This is simply outstanding JR!! You've really outdone yourself with this pristine build. I love the 1:1 scale version of this as well. Thank you for the explanation on how you acheived the wood grain in the truck bed buddy!

There's alot of vehicles that are going with drab colors and gloss on top of them;

How bout a gray Challenger?

That is absolutely stunning. Great job on the rattlecan paint job. And yes, the wood bed is beautifully rendered. Impressive. Simply impressive.

Color combo on this is Killer... Classic green and black, but the green is just different enough to set it off
