66 Chevy C10

Another completed build and this one also has fenders. Please skip my nonsensical words below and view the photos. I have been absolutely driving the struggle bus of late (possibly due in part to poor decisions, such as building Revell F1 kits). Anyway, I have one open wheel body soaking in the purple pool and another I just pulled out. Haven't been able to get a paint job down for anything. So while I was doing my best to sabotage my latest open wheel builds I had this truck out on the bench tinkering away on it in the down time I had. So if you've held on to my ramblings for this long I'll get down to it.  Revell kit, fit and finish was not great, chassis was twisted and I could not recommend this kit to anyone. Having said that, I did enjoy building it and am happy with the finished product. Did some minor detail work and added some wiring and hoses. Also some light weathering to make it resemble a work truck. If you've read this far then I'm sorry.


Thanks for looking!

Nothing wrong with that pick-'em-up! I've been working on some figure models lately to bust out of my slump. Just keep building anything!

Thank you! Appreciate it. I know the slumps come and go. I just soldier on. Sometimes I just walk away for a day, sometimes I switch to a different kit. Sometimes I just continue to do terrible work. Lol. I do just keep on building though.

Nice Chevy!

ps: I have a Revell F1 kit. It's in it's box locked in a cage somewhere.

That’s a darned nice truck! Clean, well assembled, and a phenomenal woodgrain finish on the bed. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I made the unfortunate mistake of purchasing some Revell F1 kits on eBay as a lot a few years back. I am a glutton for punishment.

Thank you! Wish I could take credit for the wood grain but (in this one instance) thanks has to go to Revell. They provided an excellent two piece wood grain detail decal. All I did was dull it up a little to make it less shiny.

Thanks Jordan! I was glad to get this one totally done with no major issues after the struggles I’ve been having. Lol
