Super Model Car Sunday 2008 - Page 5
Ken Searle has got a bit of a thing for '40 Fords it seems (wait 'til you see his diorama!) This pick-up was a glue bomb that he picked up off a fellow modeller and after reading a story on how to do fake rust in a hot rod magazine, he thought he'd give it a go. As you can see, the effect was pretty incredible with the rust appearing to be in all the right places. |
But it's a hot rod, so the motor has to be clean. |
Here is Ken's diorama. You could spend hours looking at this alone. Apart from he '32 pick-up delivering some goods, everything in it is '40 Ford. But it was the details that got everyone talking. More on those later. |
The family rolled up and Luka headed straight for the petrol pump. |
We went out for some lunch and when we got back Grant had parked his XP Fairmont up on the lawn - so I took a couple of snaps. |
Not bad for a Ford. |
Bit of a salt racing theme going on here with my '32 roasdter and the Commer truck from thepartsbox.com. |
The truck is practically a catalogue of all the resin parts that they do. Check out that engine, it's nuts! Paint was a pretty wild metallic, which looked like metalflake in this scale. |
