Default King Hauler Farm Truck.

Hi,
First i'm sorry for my poor English...

Now, i'd like to show you my first Truck.
It's an truck i bought used; it was very damaged then i decided to make a Farm Truck like.

It's unfinished, but her it is.

When it's arrived...




The modifications:




The battery emplacement.







First test.




The flat bed.









Second test.



the interior (not finished)



And the first step of the weathering.

After a long break, I started again the weathering.











And Now,

















I présent you the driver.




I still continue the weathering and realise some details as the load...

So, thank you for your comment.
Olivier

Thanks for the very nice collection of pictures!
Nice result in the end, great job at weathering the truck.

The wooden bits look spot on too.

Looking forward to further progress with the load :-)

Great job on the weathering and with the wood bed! Certainly looks like a farm truck to me. The rust is spot on, its so ugly but great execution.

Looks good. Just one question- why did you leave the original exhaust mounting holes? Kind of spoils the look for me. Otherwise, great job of weathering and love the wooden bed.

Man, that looks rough. I like it. A guy an work just saw me looking at this and thought it was real

The wood bed still looks awfully new, could use some stains, scrapes, scratches. i'd probably break one of the passenger step boards about half way.

Looks great (?)

Very nicely done. There's a lot of work in the kind of weathering you did, and it is so realistic!

Thank's a lot for your comments

I've decided to leave exhaust wholes when i saw this truck. I've immediatly loved this one.



For the rest, i'll try to make it better, but it's not finished yet.

And i live in France, near to Lyon (city named Bourgoin-Jallieu).

How did you age the wood to look so good? I'm building a farm truck/rat rod out of a Grand Hauler I cut the sleeper off for another project, so I have a short cab. It will go on a single axle chassis and I want to build a flatbed for the rear. Have some nice barrels I'm going to use as fuel tanks

Thank's for your comm.

For the Wood, i've used oil paints: burnt umber and burnt sienne.
never use water-based paints on balsa wood otherwise it makes him swell.

Use Turpentine.

The new driver.
