I think this is finished. It's not exactly like the photos above, but it's similar. I had to guess the condition and color of the hood (bonnet, for my Brit friends)
I added some light grey and used Tamiya Weathering Master Orange Rust. Also, I had to guess what color to paint the bed, so I just went with black and scuffed it up with some rust just like the hood, The wheels are after market and I use a umber and sepia wash.
Tomorrow I'll straighten the grill and rust up a spot on right side of the bumper then add the iconic "bow tie." Then probably shoot a gey and umber wash to dull the crome down.
This was an old farm truck he used on his ranch, he was a "real cowboy" roping and branding his calfs and cattle. Before that he served in WWII as a mechanic under the command of General Geroge S. Patton. After the war he went back being a cowboy.
Unfortunately, I never got to meet him. He died in 2001, I think. Christi's grandmother recently died about 2 years ago. She was a real pistol lol.
Anyway, here's the truck.
