Yeah...that's it...."Carriage whatchamacalllits" I can see the practical logic of the strips....but the photo I am referencing only has the plywood.  M |

But!! under the plywood there would be factory metal strips between the wooden board's. I think modeling the pickup bed without the plywood laying in the back would look good  |

Now I suppose you will tell us it's really mediocre modeling and you're very unhappy with it. And, if you were to write such nonsense, you would be exposed as a total goofball. -- Russ

Marc, Rough shot of finished ply bed.
... where did that license plate come from? This was originally used in American Graffiti ... on John Milner's Ford B ... IIRC ... Cheers |

Thanks guys...glad you still have your rose colored glasses. As I said Russ...IMO a strong 'B' at best. Ha...Gerald...good eye. It is also the abbreviated title of George Lucas's first film. I needed an old style california license plate, did a quick google image search, and it was one of the first ones to come up. Decided to use it since time was of the essence, and to see how many people would notice.  |

Great look Marc, I love it. Shades of Robt. Duvall with the plate.

Just so you don't think that I only babble on around here...I am actually building stuff. You would think that a kit that only costs $7, has a total of 25 parts, and is only 3x7.5cm, would be a quick and easy build. 60 hours into it, and more parts and pieces built, replaced and modified, than the original kit had.....and still not done.  |
