This is a new attempt to build a weathered truck model. It is a Utility truck that was used by a Highway Maintenance Dept. of an unknown city some where in the states. The model will be placed on a small bases as a forgotten truck.
I combined the Dogde D100 Crew Cab with the Utility Box from the '64 Dodge Utility from Modelhaus. First of all I had cut the one piece Crew cab body into 2 pieces (Cab and P/U box). Also both chassis were cut in half and the rear ends were changed vis versa.
Base coat with different shades of red and brown from Tamiya.

I continued with different shades of rust from AK Interactive followed by hairspray instead of Chipping Fluids. I also sprinkled some salt into the hairspray. The scratches were done with an old tooth brush and an old hand brush. I think I used a bit to much pigments n the grill.

Next step is to add some filters and washes.
Any comments welcome
I like the subject!
Dont recall a utility truck being done (my memory sucks).
I think the chipping is too random.
Think about where the workers would have been in and out a thousand times.
Look at some truck pictures for ideas of wear locations.
Hoping the yellow will be faded a bunch by the filters too.
I would think the old yellow would be almost a canary at this point.
Looking forward to more!
